We can take over the world, he said
And it`s plenty gold in my country, he said
A 1000 men make a company, he said
But I gotta put into your butt lead, I say
When it`s dark fuck the dumb, I`m on the run
Go to the shack for somebody black that wanna come
Original man in a swamp land habitat
Old man said, Don`t go, but fuck that
I gotta be free, they can`t catch me
Cause I`m too quick for `em, see?
Check the north star, goin` real far north
A straight line is designed for the shortest course
So a crooked devil wants me back now
He let his dogs go to chase this black down
But I ain`t down with being caught, so I fought back
They gotta drag them a bleeding dead nigga back
But not like that, fool, I ain`t going out
Before I do I bet I take one of these crackers out
(Freedom, freedom!) Fuck yeah, I killed him
(Freedom, freedom!) Now should I bury him? (Fuck nah!)
Fuck nah, he didn`t do the same for my grandpa
Grandpa died with his finger like fuck y`all
Ran through the woods ( ? ) and I step in
Made a haystack for a black man that`s sleeping
Next day well on my way up north
(Surround the nigga) trip cut short
Standing in the middle, know I`m black till the end
Waiting, in a second now the shots will begin
25 shotguns pointed at me, fuck y`all devils, now I`m free
Motherfucker, you`ll never catch me
Runaway slave, I`m out of here ( ? ), I`m outtie
I`m a motherfucking slave, I`m tired, I`m thirsty and I`m hungry
Picking cotton to build a white man`s country
My mother`s working hard and she`s dying of starvation
Never seen my brother, he`s on another plantation
My father fought back, he wasn`t going for this
Now he`s hanging from a tree in the forest (damn)
My little sister gets raped and beaten
Nothing but dirty water and pork for eating
I can`t take this shit no longer
As I work harder I get stronger and stronger
Looking at my chains and my chains are rusty red
( ?Look at? ) the bull grip, he don`t trust me
But I`ma chill and wait till 12 o`clock
Pick up a rock, hit the chain and it broke in half (I`m out of here)
Now feel the wrath of a runaway slave
But I`m gonna stay brave
When I`m getting free I`m putting pale face in the grave
Thinking about my people and how I`m gonna free them
Pass my father body still hanging from a tree limb
Running and running and on the trail there`s some dobermans
The smell of a sweaty black nigga, yeah, they know the scent
Picking up ground and I started to run faster
Double barrel pump fired by the slave master
I hid in some bushes so I can catch my breath
Trying to gather up the strength that I had left
If I could rest for a second I`d be gone
Oh shit, there goes the dobermans, the chase is back on
Them wanna catch me, them wanna take my freedom
Them can`t catch me, them can`t have my freedom
Them took it once I want it back, gimme my freedom
I kept on running, I thought I had `em beaten
Until I ran into the middle of a Ku Klux Klan meeting
They all stopped, as they stood there staring at me
I must have seen a 100 guns they had pointed at me
White robes, white hoods, blue eyes
6 dobermans chewing on my thighs
I took a deep breath cause I knew what time it was
Just before they pulled their triggers I yelled, Fuck y`all crackers!
