Do it, do it, do it, do it
Don’t wanna be your slave
Twenty four hours a day
Hey, why don’t you go down to the supermarket
Get something to eat, steal something of the shelves
Pass by the liquor store
Be back about quarter to twelve
Don’t want to be your slave
Baby go, baby go, baby go
Do it yeah
(m. jagger/k. richards)
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Don’t wanna be your slave
Twenty four hours a day
Hey, why don’t you go down to the supermarket
Get something to eat, steal something of the shelves
Pass by the liquor store
Be back about quarter to twelve
Don’t want to be your slave
Baby go, baby go, baby go
Do it yeah
Michee mee, esthero, and crew:
Uh ..uh turn me up
Wanna hear da music

In life the thing to do
Nothin gained, nothing tried
Very few even try
Most just wanna get high
From the cradle to the grave
Don’t wanna be your slave
And i’m not gonna
Take it how you wanna
Love me or hate me
Support me or (?) me
Either way i show love
Let it make me or break me
I’m the queen of self-esteem
No sweat (??)
Set the seam
(??)
Like how you need
Straight up (??)
Ain’t no puppet on a string
Like them hoes suckin on your thing
Overworked and underpayed for days
Behave
I’m not gonna be your slave
Esthero:
Do it and do it and do it and do it and do it
Don’t wanna be your slave
Michee mee:

Don’t wanna be your slave
Michee mee:
And i’m not gon’ cry, big dawg
And i’m not gon’ blame the system
( esthero : don’t wanna be your- )
Hold on tight, don’t let go
Don’t want much, just want more
Speakin from my people
Scream it hardcore
Livin in the ghetto
Sleepin on the floor
Watch’you thought, i wasn’t gonna ride?
Do it myself, get a piece of the pie?
You be holding your breath (??)
Ya best slit your life koz you’re just waitin’ to die
People still takin life for a joke
Can’t see the fight but you blow a lotta smoke
If you didn’t get it, you got what you deserve
Just like that, bless my word
Every day i wake up
(??)
Gots to stay one-up
How you gon’ sit back and wait on the wealth?
Ya gotta go get it motivate yourself
If not, you’re only perpetratin yourself
And at the end of the day, you only hate yourself
If you know me, you knoe my motto
Takin charge,
I got what it takes to make it, make it large
Do it and do it and do it and do it and do it
Don’t wanna be your slave
And i’m not gon’ cry, big dawg
And i’m not gon’ blame the system (don’t wanna be your-)
Do it and do it and do it and do it and do it
Don’t wanna be your slave
And i’m not gon’ cry, big dawg
And i’m not gon’ blame the system (don’t wanna be your-)
Everybody got a problem
But of course, the world gotta problem
And it’s yours
That’s why i wrote this rhyme
You can quote this line
Coz i focus line
Livin in some hopeless times, or so it seems
Never let go of your dreams
N’a mean?
N’a mean? (jus do whatcha got to do)
Esthero:
Do it and do it and do it and do it and do it
Don’t wanna be your slave
Michee mee:
And i’m not gon’ cry, big dawg
And i’m not gon’ blame the system (esthero: don’t wanna be your-)
Esthero:
Do it and do it and do it and do it and do it
Don’t wanna be your slave
Michee mee:
And i’m not gon’ cry, big dawg
And i’m not gon’ blame the system (esthero: don’t wanna be your-)

Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album honky château
There’s a river running sweat right through our land
Driven by a man with a bullwhip in his hand
And i’ve taken just as much as i can stand
Oh we’ve got to free our brothers from their shackles if we can
Most nights i have to watch my woman cry
Every day i watch the colonel smile
His painted ladies riding in from town
I swear one day i’m gonna burn that whore house to the ground
Slave, slave
To fight the violence we must be brave
Hold on strong to the love god gave
Slave
There’s a rumour of a war that’s yet to come
That may free our families and our sons
It may lay green lands to barren wastes
The price of release is a bitter blow to face

Listening for your footsteps
Just waiting like a fool
Burning with a fever
Only you can cool
The clock beside my pillow
Has ticked away the night
Like a heartbeat mocking me
Until the light
Gotta stop these thoughts about you
Gotta learn to live without you
Gotta find some freedom for this weary slave
‘cause i’m hungry for you
And i’m longing for you
And i’m burning for you
I worship your opinions
I imitate your ways
I try to make you grace me
With a word of praise
However much i tell myself
That i’m strong and free and brave
I’m just another woman
Raised to be a slave
Slave, nothing but a slave
Mind of a slave
Body of a slave
I find i gave away the soul
That i wanted you to save
I’m just another woman
Raised to be a slave
Hungry for you
And longing for you
Burning for you
And i’m longing for you
Burning for you
And i’m yearning for you
Longing for you
I am no one
But not like you
I will burn too
Blinded by the night-time
Out on your play
Running the faith
Shining the fate
Blind eye no mind
What you gonna do to me and what you gonna say to me
I don’t wanna hear about all your drama mishap
Running down the willing scenes and i won’t suck on
Your disease
I don’t need no riot gear to roll into the heaven
I am no one
Tied to you
Shine onto me
Blind mind never see
Your thoughts are the whore
Bought what was said
Tied to what you want
To what you want
Bound to what you got to run away and look around
To the money girls running down in your trees
Bound to what you get when you walk around you
Walk around you…walk around you…walk around you
Walk around you…walk around you
It never sees
It never cease
Never cease
Are you too drag? are you too bad? gone alone
Gone emblazed gone and glazed are you there?
No one no one ever said
You’ll never understand you’re blind and all alone
You’ll never understand you’re blind and all alone
Love barely alive in your arms, slave
Dreams taken too far every night, slave
Who put on your heart?
Who put on your heart?
Who put on your heart?
‘Cause I can’t change, no
When you’re on your own
You can see things
Clear, clear as a bell
And you’re free, slave
Who put on your heart?
Who put on your heart?
Who put on your heart?
‘Cause I can’t change, no
And my girl we’ll say good-bye
To the things we’ll never try
Who put on your heart?
Who put on your heart?
Who put on your heart?
‘Cause I can’t change, no
And my girl we’ll say good-bye
To the things we’ll never try
Love, barely alive
Love, barely alive
Love, barely alive
Slave…
Lived too long now you’ve come to take me
to a place where I can die
lost my soul lost my confidence in me
can’t be something but I’ll try
Lived too long and waited just to drown
in my self pity I keep falling down
(chorus)
Want to be your soldier
Want to be your slave
I have no pride in myself
Only book that I own is called how to lose’
Pick a chapter I know them all just choose
Lived too long and waited to find
A place where I can die
Lost my soul lost my confidence in me
Give me something but I’ll try
(chorus)
Chorus:
Everybody keeps tryin’ 2 break my heart
Everybody except 4 me
I just want a chance 2 play the part
The part of someone truly free
Like candle slowly burning, i can feel my world unravel
Hemisphere upon hemisphere lie beneath my soul, soul
My enemies kept it turning, but now they pound the gavel
And judging me accordingly, i know, i know
Chorus
Hey! {x3}
Oh
Burning slowly candle, handle careless they did
Merrily down 3 heartbreak boulevards
Like fashion statements, they lie "u be lookin’ so good 2night, kid"
I do my best 2 party, it’s just that everybody keeps tryin’ 2 break my heart
(chorus)
Except 4 me (except 4 me)
I just want a chance 2 play
(just wanna be free)
Slowly candle burns, where’d they learn hypnosis?
How’d they keep me under 4 so long?
Break the bread i earn, just keep me far from closest
I need their kind 2 illustrate what’s wrong – what’s wrong?
Well, i’ll tell u they just keep tryin’ 2 break my heart (chorus)
They just keep tryin’ 2 break my heart, ow!
(everybody) {x2}
Chorus
But i can’t let u break my heart
(everybody keeps tryin’ 2 break my heart)
Slave! (everybody keeps tryin’ 2 break my heart)
Slave! slave! (everybody keeps tryin’ 2 break my heart)
Slave!
