Renagade Slave Songtext
von Jeru the Damaja

To escape the Devil′s jaws, some prepare for the final war
So when we strike, it's multiple wounds like bullets from iron cross
The breaking is laws, not faking because I tap jaws
Burn down rivals and teach the whores to fight for the cause
The beast roars, I don′t flinch, I'm taking heads like the Moors
I keep it jungle-nati, I put a razor to yours
That's crazy fake like house niggas rocking bikini drawers
Hit ′em with two by fours, putting bombs at Devil′s doors
Black diamond with numerous flaws, blood pours
Doing it field nigga style for dreams that died on prison floors
Liberate carnivores that dine on boars
And I be fighting even after I reach Africa shores
The renegade slaves

Field nigga, trained in guerilla warfare
Be a real nigga, know what I'm saying?


Weak lions surrender their crowns, avoid the battleground
I storm the plantation, take massa head and burn his house down
Homebound, pitch black, don′t make a sound
Renegade slave clip in, fire'll rip through your town
Satan heart pound, used to smile, now we frown
House slaves run around like clowns, holding whitey down
No more whipping and raping, I′m shooting, Klansmen hit the ground
So much blood on the scene, those left face down drown
Listen close 'cause the meaning is profound
The beast is on my heels, I boogie like James Brown
Keep a low pro, communicate underground
′Cause no Devil alive can scan my sound
The renegade slaves

Field nigga, trained in guerilla warfare
Be a real nigga, know what I'm saying?

Smarter than Frederick Douglass and wilder than Nat Turner
My will to be free in your eyes makes me a murderer
Creeping late night like a burglar, study his literature
When the kings rise again, Beelzebub knows the procedure
Uncle Tom shot on the spot, we don't need ya
I know who I am, a warrior like Kunta
But not running away, running demons into the caves
Beware, beware, beware the renegade slaves
Hitting ′em from every angle
Devils we strangle and entangle in the web
When we rise again
The renegade slaves are coming


That′s right, you know me
Don't act like you don′t, you see me
You know where I'm at, you see when I′m coming
But you really don't know
You think you do, you never will
But I′m always here, and I will rise again
You can't hold me down, you can't do it
I won′t allow it to happen
My will is too strong, I can′t be broken
It's the renegade slave, it′s the renegade slave
It's the renegade slave
