Slave Mill

Lyrics Translation

What you want and what you will
Working for your dollar bill
Sad to see the old slave mill
Is grinding slow, but grinding still
Walking home, ah you gets killed
Police free to shoot at will
Sad to see the old slave mill
Is grinding slow, but grinding still
Nine to five you know the drill
Weekends are a shawty thrill
Sad to see the old slave mill
Is grinding slow, but grinding still
Come put it on over till it spill
Take until they've had their fill
Sad to see the old slave mill
Is grinding slow, but grinding still

Some of us think we're too big
Got a system, gives us jobs
Even though it's just a low paying game
Some of us will boast and brag
And those of us who think we're small
Just because we don't have much
That's really not the case at all
There's riches that the flesh can't touch
Some of us won't respect names
Some of us don't respect loves
Some of us don't respect life
Even though we worship God
And some of us won't let go of faith
No matter what the price may cost
Some of us wan' practice hate
But I will still believe in love

What you want and what you will
Working for a dollar bill
Sad to see the old slave mill
Is grinding slow, but grinding still
Walking home, a child gets killed
Neighbours free to shoot at will
Hurts to see the old slave mill
Is grinding slow, but grinding still
Nine to five, we know the drill
Weekends such a short-lived thrill
Sad to see the old slave mill
Is grinding slow, but grinding still
Come run it over till it spill
Take until they've had their fill
Sad to see the old slave mill
Is grinding slow, but grinding still

Most of us think we're too good
Just because material gain
If we were living as we should
Then less of us would be in pain
Those who are misunderstood
Still deserve a voice to claim
The things that are still meaningful
To each and all of us the same
And some will say the cups are full
And give your thumbs on what we've gained
And some will say there's much more weight to pull
And then we tell you that straight up and plain
And some will think outside the box
While some of us will hold our lanes
And some of us we write the facts
While some of us just don't care

What men want and what they will
Working for a dollar bill
Sad to see the old slave mill
Is grinding slow, but grinding still
Walking home, a child gets killed
Police free to shoot at will
Hurts to see the old slave mill
Is grinding slow, but grinding still
Nine to five you know the drill
Weekends are a short-lived thrill
Sad to see the old slave mill
Is grinding slow but grinding still
Come run it over till it spill
Take until they've had their fill
Sad to see the old slave mill
Is grinding slow, but grinding still

Is grinding slow, but grinding still
Is grinding slow, but grinding still
Is grinding slow, but grinding still
Is grinding slow, but grinding still
Is grinding slow, but grinding still
Is grinding slow, but grinding still
Is grinding slow, but grinding still

What you want and what you will
Lo que quieres y lo que harás
Working for your dollar bill
Trabajando por tu billete de dólar
Sad to see the old slave mill
Triste ver el viejo molino de esclavos
Is grinding slow, but grinding still
Muele lento, pero sigue moliendo
Walking home, ah you gets killed
Caminando a casa, ah te matan
Police free to shoot at will
La policía libre para disparar a voluntad
Sad to see the old slave mill
Triste ver el viejo molino de esclavos
Is grinding slow, but grinding still
Muele lento, pero sigue moliendo
Nine to five you know the drill
De nueve a cinco, conoces la rutina
Weekends are a shawty thrill
Los fines de semana son una emoción efímera
Sad to see the old slave mill
Triste ver el viejo molino de esclavos
Is grinding slow, but grinding still
Muele lento, pero sigue moliendo
Come put it on over till it spill
Ven a ponerlo encima hasta que se derrame
Take until they've had their fill
Toma hasta que hayan tenido suficiente
Sad to see the old slave mill
Triste ver el viejo molino de esclavos
Is grinding slow, but grinding still
Muele lento, pero sigue moliendo
Some of us think we're too big
Algunos de nosotros pensamos que somos demasiado grandes
Got a system, gives us jobs
Tenemos un sistema, nos da trabajos
Even though it's just a low paying game
Aunque solo sea un juego de bajo salario
Some of us will boast and brag
Algunos de nosotros nos jactaremos y presumiremos
And those of us who think we're small
Y aquellos de nosotros que pensamos que somos pequeños
Just because we don't have much
Solo porque no tenemos mucho
That's really not the case at all
Eso realmente no es el caso en absoluto
There's riches that the flesh can't touch
Hay riquezas que la carne no puede tocar
Some of us won't respect names
Algunos de nosotros no respetaremos los nombres
Some of us don't respect loves
Algunos de nosotros no respetamos los amores
Some of us don't respect life
Algunos de nosotros no respetamos la vida
Even though we worship God
Aunque adoramos a Dios
And some of us won't let go of faith
Y algunos de nosotros no soltaremos la fe
No matter what the price may cost
No importa cuánto pueda costar el precio
Some of us wan' practice hate
Algunos de nosotros queremos practicar el odio
But I will still believe in love
Pero yo seguiré creyendo en el amor
What you want and what you will
Lo que quieres y lo que harás
Working for a dollar bill
Trabajando por un billete de dólar
Sad to see the old slave mill
Triste ver el viejo molino de esclavos
Is grinding slow, but grinding still
Muele lento, pero sigue moliendo
Walking home, a child gets killed
Caminando a casa, un niño es asesinado
Neighbours free to shoot at will
Vecinos libres para disparar a voluntad
Hurts to see the old slave mill
Duele ver el viejo molino de esclavos
Is grinding slow, but grinding still
Muele lento, pero sigue moliendo
Nine to five, we know the drill
De nueve a cinco, conocemos la rutina
Weekends such a short-lived thrill
Los fines de semana son una emoción efímera
Sad to see the old slave mill
Triste ver el viejo molino de esclavos
Is grinding slow, but grinding still
Muele lento, pero sigue moliendo
Come run it over till it spill
Ven a correrlo hasta que se derrame
Take until they've had their fill
Toma hasta que hayan tenido suficiente
Sad to see the old slave mill
Triste ver el viejo molino de esclavos
Is grinding slow, but grinding still
Muele lento, pero sigue moliendo
Most of us think we're too good
La mayoría de nosotros pensamos que somos demasiado buenos
Just because material gain
Solo por ganancia material
If we were living as we should
Si estuviéramos viviendo como deberíamos
Then less of us would be in pain
Entonces menos de nosotros estaríamos en dolor
Those who are misunderstood
Aquellos que son incomprendidos
Still deserve a voice to claim
Todavía merecen una voz para reclamar
The things that are still meaningful
Las cosas que todavía tienen sentido
To each and all of us the same
Para cada uno de nosotros de la misma manera
And some will say the cups are full
Y algunos dirán que las copas están llenas
And give your thumbs on what we've gained
Y dan el visto bueno a lo que hemos ganado
And some will say there's much more weight to pull
Y algunos dirán que hay mucho más peso que tirar
And then we tell you that straight up and plain
Y luego te lo decimos directamente y sin rodeos
And some will think outside the box
Y algunos pensarán fuera de la caja
While some of us will hold our lanes
Mientras algunos de nosotros mantendremos nuestras carriles
And some of us we write the facts
Y algunos de nosotros escribimos los hechos
While some of us just don't care
Mientras que a algunos de nosotros simplemente no nos importa
What men want and what they will
Lo que los hombres quieren y lo que harán
Working for a dollar bill
Trabajando por un billete de dólar
Sad to see the old slave mill
Triste ver el viejo molino de esclavos
Is grinding slow, but grinding still
Muele lento, pero sigue moliendo
Walking home, a child gets killed
Caminando a casa, un niño es asesinado
