Hung beaten and ridiculed
Took out of homes
Not allowed to be schooled
Washing the floors on my aching hands and knees
Couldn't go without saying, master, please
Women and children beaten with whips
But some still clinging to the bloody ship
Bloody beaten chained and whipped
Mentality lost mind has been stripped
Given a new hope Sailing on religion
A heart mind mental spiritual division
Respect the master when he doesn't respect me
Overshadow the power of my divinity
Being hung from ropes
The butt of their jokes
Clinging to religion
The butt of their hopes
Telling me how to think
No thoughts for self
Looking back to the master for his help
Bloody and Beaten Let Go release
Your mind is free
Cut off the chains of mental slavery
