Letra de New Generation Slave
Into this world, I came Filled with fear, crying all the time I guess my birth left a great scar On my heart and mindNow I hand-pick cotton And struggle to sing "I am happy and I do what I like" But my voice breaks And I start to hate My singing and simply everyoneMama told me Be good, work hard and love Mr. God Every Sunday I lie, trying to realize whyAin't nothing more to say Your Honor Don't look at me like that The truth is I am a free man But I can't enjoy my lifeI came to a standstill With lies and hopes inside my head Always seemed too late to turn And too soon to understandNo, I don't have a stomach ache It's just my faceI got stuck, I ran aground I got used to spewing bile I wonder whether all those years Hadn't been a waste of timeSo how am I doing? Oh, I can complain Smoke too many cigarettes But I don't careInto this world, I came Filled with fear, crying all the time
