Slave Lyrics - Lucky Dube

Ministers of religion have visited me many times to talk about it 

They say to me, I gotta leave it I gotta leave it 

It's a bad habit for a man but when I try to leave it 

My friends keep telling me, I'm a fool amongst fools 

Now I'm a slave, a slave 

I'm a slave, I'm a liquor slave 

I'm a slave, a slave, slave 

I'm a slave, just a liquor slave 

I have lost my dignity I had before, trying to please everybody 

Some say to me, yo yo, I look better when I'm drunk 

Some say, no, no, no, I look bad you know 

Sometimes I cry, I cry but my crying never helps me none 

'Cos now I am a slave, a slave 

I'm a slave, I'm just a liquor slave 

I am a slave, a prisoner 

I'm a slave, just a liquor slave 

Every night when I'm coming back home 

My wife gets worried 'cos she knows 

She's got double trouble coming home 

Sometimes I cry, I cry Lord, I cry 

But my crying never helps me 

Now I'm a slave, a slave 

I'm a slave, I'm a liquor slave 

I'm a slave, a slave, slave 

I'm a slave, just a liquor slave 

Now I'm a slave, a slave 

I'm a slave, I'm a liquor slave 

I'm a slave, a slave, slave 

I'm a slave, just a liquor slave 

Now I'm a slave, a slave 

I'm a slave, I'm a liquor slave 

I'm a slave, a slave, slave 

I'm a slave, just a liquor slave
