Frozen food in the night
Cassava chips on the couch
Laughing to a moldy riff
Tables covered with dust
The black men came to search for us
They came to conquer our house
I sit back down when they rush
For money they have locked us
Got no feet to walk but you still have got to run
All of the stacks of your debt now is thicker than your mouth
They try to bury you beneath all that you regret, you regret
I wanna help you out, I wanna help you out
Wish that I could set you free
From all the ropes that chase your neck
Up until now I could recall
The fear every time the door was knocked
Got no feet to walk but you still have got to run
All of the stacks of your debt now is thicker than your mouth
They try to bury you beneath all that you regret, you regret
I wanna help you out, I wanna help you out
Live long enough to watch me grow
Live long enough to see me rise
Live long enough to watch me grow
That's all I hope for
That's all I hope for
