What does it mean to be a slave?                                                                           To be stripped of everything that God gave.                                   To be wondering and planning every single night                                                     Whether it’s worth to leave and risk your life                         Imagine a flower at a flower shop                                             First cut away from the rest of the crop                           Then sold to a man that they never knew                   Either left to wither                               Or sold anew                                             Even though it’s a beautiful flower It’s treated like a **** and subjected to power               If it tries to grow it’s own path anew                                   It will be forced back down Now a flower in blue
