Modern Day Slave

Hurry! Hurry! Step right up.

Spend your bucks and be prepared to be amazed.

Get a glimpse of the modern day slave.

He’s well behaved when he listens.

And until he brings bacon in the kitchen…

Watch him as he stands there fishing.

He doesn’t talk to much cause no one seem to listens.

He’s harmless to others, friends, family, and lovers. “Go ahead kick him!”

Choose the role of the victim in any given situation.

Be complacent to his thoughts and ideas.

Come destroy his cabin that was built in years.

Listens to his fears of losing all that he has…

Come destroy a piece of his past and laugh.

Watch him mentally crash.

Every answer is a hit or a lash.

But they’re supposed to be beat.

Jim Crow says, “You have to beat them till they’re weak.”

And if you choose not to speak that too can be cool sometimes.

You must know how to behave with your modern day slave.

You got him right in the middle of your palm.

Be calm and destroy it all.

Let rules apply to him that would never apply to ya’ll.

Like…

It has to be seen who wears the pants.

And your slave considered a monkey has to dance on command.

Don’t talk in greeting or leaving.

It’s the slaves fault no matter what’s the reason.

And to love is like the seasons, so just call you Mother Nature.

Then take his love and crumble it up, because you know it’s harder to hate’cha.

And make sure you relate to the way he was treated in the past.
