lyrics

I woke up in the morning
with tight chains round my wrists
my ankles also shackled
secure me for the trip
I say I don’t speak spanish
but they don’t seem to mind
guess I look like and athlete
assured me I’d be fine

now I’m on a
slave vacation
don’t know when I’ll come back
but
when I get through here
I promise to send ya’ll all my love

My skin is black and bitten
but still burns beneath the sun
I guess this goddamn cotton pickin
aint made for everyone
bout time that I try to escape
and go and find my wife
but hey I’m jussah nigger
my masser own my life

yeah I’m on a
slave vacation
don’t know when I’ll come back
but
when I get through here
I promise to send you all my love

I really need to piss
&
I really need to shit
&
I really need your kiss
&
I really miss my kids
&
I really think that’s it
cause this aint no way live
&
I think I may give in cause it’s only
just a whip-indeed

I’m on a
slave vacation
don’t know when I’ll come back
but when I get through here
I’ll be sure to send you all my love
