Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They reminding that you a slave
Got your back bleeding
Copping all these whips and chains
After tax season
Its crazy how we only think
Thats succeeding
You better ask Jesus
We were down hill for a while
Now we back eating
I ain't with your fake smiles
When I'm fact speaking
She told me that she hated me
That was last weekend
My drip has adverse affects
Now she back speaking
For that reason..
I ain't took an L all year
But I've been through hell all year
Yall been quiet
Couldn't even Tell yall here
But I can smell yall fear
I'm a beast I'm a lion
In the street I'm defiant
Never been compliant
If we sling shots though
I'm David.. you Goliath
No job with the pressure
So i keep applying
Look at my eyes bro
You can tell I aint lying
This is the road less traveled
This is my climb to the top
Nigga fuck your ladder
Got it out the mud with a handful of gravel
And built the foundation to my muthafuckin castle
Hook:
Until my fam straight is been hard to think straight
Until my team straight its been hard to think straight
Until my bank straight its been hard to think straight
Its some things that ain't straight
But nothing that I can't say
Wake up pouring coffee in your fucking mean mug
Cause I'm blessed with some shit I could only dream of
Wake up pouring coffee in your fucking mean mug
Cause I'm blessed doing shit that only a king does
Duece D:
Back then they didn't want me
Now I'm hot they all on me
I bounced back with a bigger bag
A little different swag
Now they all on me
Oh how the times done changed
I remember they use to shit on me
Now I'm a mac like Boney
Ginuwine they wanna ride this pony
On Mony, nigga get you some business
Nigga get you some bitches
Nigga get you some money
Stay the fuck out the way and quit acting bummy
Quit goofing off with your clown ass
Thats why we look at your funny
Nigga move on and quit trying to ride a nigga wave Johnny Tsunami
I aint go time for you honey
Because I'ma man on a mission
As soon as you get to the bag
Watch these people start acting suspicious
These bitches gone sell you their soul
Just to buy some attention
Quit moving around like some hoes
And maybe these niggas will look at you different
I ain't tripping them facts tho
I'm just trying to get the racks tho
Hard work and a lot of prayer
Might give you want you ask for
And I meant this No Time for the fake shit
I'ma muthafuckin King hoe
Kneel down and kiss the ring bitch
(Hook)
The lyrics in S.P.A.M.'s song "Slave" are highly metaphorical and can be interpreted in different ways. The song seems to be a commentary on society's tendency to follow blindly and the consequences that come with it. The singer is asking to be shown a grave new world, referring to a world that is different from the current one, but he is confronted with people who are slaves to change or the new world order, which is a metaphor for the idea that people blindly follow new trends or ideologies without questioning them, leading them to be bound to the chains of their own beliefs.
The lyrics point out that people are deceived and laid to waste because they have blindly followed, and even bloody kings and slaves to thunder swear to their dying kings, which means that they will follow their leaders even in the face of death. The singer is urging people to break free from this pattern of behavior, to no longer bow down and be crowned in chains. He urges people to take a stand against those who seek to deceive and enslave them.
The lyrics make references to various religious themes, such as bloody nails, graven wonder, and burning crosses, which can be linked to the idea of a higher power or faith that people follow blindly. Ultimately, the singer seems to be asking people to challenge their existing beliefs and seek the truth rather than continuing to follow blindly.

You, sold me you slaves of change
You have sold me, the people, as slaves to the concept of change
Slaves to the new world order
We are now slaves to a new world order that has been established
Bound believing in change to chains
Our belief in change has actually led us to be chained and trapped
Woe is me I stand before you
I am deeply saddened and distressed as I stand before you
And part a sea of eternity
I am creating a division between the eternal and the mortal
Bloody nails, I waited and prayed
I suffered and waited patiently for a change that did not come to pass
But your deceived and laid to waste
We have been deceived and our hopes and dreams have been destroyed
Bloody kings and slaves to thunder
Those in power shed blood and the people are now enslaved to their cruelty
Swear to your dying king
Pledge loyalty to a leader who is already dying
Empires and walls of fire fall
Even the strongest empires and walls of protection can crumble and be destroyed
Bloody screams and graven wonder
The agonizing cries of the people is paired with their wonder at the hopelessness of their situation
Remember your dying king
Do not forget the leader who is on the brink of death
New truth to lies claim you all
The truth is that we have been sold lies and we have all fallen into their trap
How long, brother how long
How much longer must we endure this suffering and slavery, my fellow human being?
How long will you slave
How long will we remain slaves to the lies and false promises we have been sold?
How long, mother how long ya
Mother Earth, how much longer will you allow us to destroy ourselves and our planet in this way?
Bow down crowned in chains
We are now forced to submit and bow down to our oppressors while still wearing our chains
Hold the tail and feel the thunder
Hold on tight and brace yourself for the storm that is about to come
Close enough to smell the devil's breath
Danger is near and it is palpable, like the breath of the devil on our necks
Between the nails I saved one thief
In the midst of suffering and despair, I was able to help one person
And ride to hell and lay waste to death
We are now careening towards a hellish existence and death is all around us
Don't show me no seven wonders
I don't want to see any so-called wonders that are used to distract us from the horrors of our world
Don't ya show me no seven sins
I also do not want to hear about sins that have been created as a way to control and manipulate us
All you are is just dying men
Those in power are not invincible but are mere mortals who will eventually die
Who preach to other dying men
These same mortals preach to others who are also facing death and suffering
Bloody kings and burning crosses
Those in power shed blood and use religion to justify their actions
Pray to your lying king
We are encouraged to pray to a leader who is deceitful and untrustworthy
Oh how long oh until it falls
How much longer will we suffer under this oppressive system until it finally crumbles?
Bloody screams and slaves to thunder
The cries of the people are drowned out by the deafening thunder of those in power
Remember your dying king when
Do not forget the man who will soon perish
New truth to your lies that claim you all
The new truth is that we have all been lied to and deceived by those in power
How long 'till the new world finds you prey
How much longer until the new world order uses us as prey?
So long to your children sold in chains
Our children are now chained just like we are, and for that, we are so deeply sorry
'Till ya see your New World orphans
We will continue to suffer until we see that we have become orphaned in this new world
Dig your graves
Prepare yourselves for the worst, as we may be digging our own graves
