Bad Slave Lyrics by Big Red

Raggamuffin Culture

2005

[Intro: Michael Rose]
When I read, I learn
Big Red and Michael Rose

[Chorus: Michael Rose]
From the day that I was born
They tried to keep calm
I'm a mad slave
From the day I know myself
And 'til today
I'm a mad slave

[Verse 1: Big Red & Michael Rose]
C'est l'esprit libre
Que l'on avance
Avance
Même les pieds et mains liés
Well well, well now
Every day we suffer along the way
Michael Rose, tell dem
But you know we got to put a end to the struggle
Right this minute
J'essaye de m'еnvoler
Dès que je fеrme les yeux, Lord
Pas facile tu sais
Quand on vois à quel point t'es haineux
I ran to the Valley
And I crossed the River
To free my head
And all my XXX

[Chorus: Michael Rose]
From the day that I was born
They tried to keep calm
I'm a mad slave
From the day I know myself
And 'til today
I'm a mad slave

[Verse 2: Big Red]
Tu peux tenir en échec
Tout un peuple
Mais, contenir sa destinée
Oh oui, Lord
Mettre à sec
Les gens propres
Mais, moi je reste un mauvais
I'm a bad slave

[Chorus: Michael Rose & Big Red]
From the day that I was born
They tried to keep calm
I'm a mad slave
I'm a bad slave, mad slave, bad slave
From the day I know myself
And 'til today
I'm a mad slave
Original, mauvais esclave, Michael Rose, special

[Verse 3: Big Red & Michael Rose]
Can't catch me now
Je ne me rendrai jamais
And we XXX we just don't care
Can't wall me now
Je n'me laisserai pas faire
Il va y avoir des hommes à terre
Oh Lord

[Outro: Michael Rose]
From the day I know myself
And 'til today
I'm a mad slave, bad slave, mad slave
Bad slave
Mad slave
Bad slave
Mad slave
Bad slave
Mad slave
Bad slave
Mad slave
And we XXX we just don't care
