Old Slaves Lyrics by Stephen Marley

Revelation, Part 1: The Root of Life

2011

You wanna see my face?
Look in my pains
Look in my pains
Look in my pains
You see them pains from yesterday?
Look in my pains
And this morning feels so close to the past
For just yesterday we were left in the dark
And the oppression of those chains still weighs on your and my brain
Can you see what I'm saying?
Look in my pains
You see them pains from yesterday?
Look in my pains
Was I born free?
Was I born a slave?
Look in my pains
Wanna see my pains?
Look at my face
With the whip upon your mind so your mind leads your soul astray
You can see that today we are all modern slaves
We've been thinking that slavery is just from them ancient days
But that's the puppet master's game! can you see what I'm saying?
Look in my pains
You see them pains from yesterday?
Look in my pains
Look in my pains
How far have we gone from yesterday?
Look in my pains
Look in my pains
And this morning feels so close close to the past
For still yet today we are slaves in our yards
Because oppression of those chains still weighs on my and your brain
Should I gonna sing it again?
Look in my pains
You see them pains from yesterday?
Look in my pains
Was I born free?
Are we all slaves?
Look in my pains
How far have we gone from yesterday?
Look in my pains
