Slave driver, your table is turn;
Catch your fire, you're gonna get burned.
Slave driver, your table is turn;
Catch your fire: you're gonna get burned.
Ev'rytime I hear the crack of a whip,
My blood runs cold.
I remember on the slave ship,
How they brutalized our very soul.
They may say that we are free,
Only to be chained in poverty.
Said I know that it's illiteracy;
'Cause dem ya people dem nuh make money.
Slave driver, your table is turn.
Catch your fire, you're gonna get burned.
Slave driver, your table is turn;
Catch your fire: you're gonna get burned.
Ev'ry little time I hear the crack of a whip,
My blood runs cold.
Then I remember on the slave ship,
How they brutalized our very soul.
Today they say that we are free,
Only to be chained in dis ya poverty.
Said I know that it's illiteracy;
'Cause dem ya people dem nuh make money, ooh!

How they brutalized our very soul.
Today they say that we are free,
Only to be chained ina poverty.

Dem ya people dem nuh make money.
Slave driver, your table is turn.
Catch your fire, you're gonna get burned.
Slave driver, your table is turn;
So catch your fire, fire, fire, fire:
You're gonna get burned.
Slave driver, your table is turn.
Common, catch your fire, it's your turn,
To get burned.
Slave driver, your table is turn;
Catch your fire: you're gonna get burned.
