[Verse]
When the foot touches the floor
I amplify the vision
But the pity is sad
I think about the work
To be able to eat my bread
With no lashes in vain
And how many people were to dream?
How many dry arms did I see battle
For me to undress myself on black cries
And then be free?
[Pre-Chorus]
If I hear about the past
The time goes back and slow
I have a good place to run
And hide myself without peace
[Chorus]
How much does a slave weigh?
Weight of the gold? The silver? Tobacco
I lose the reason
How much does a slave weigh?
Weight of the gold? The silver? Tobacco
I lose the reason
[Post-Chorus]
I saw everything I didn't have in my hands, privation
Everything I'll never have
[Chorus]
How much does a slave weigh?
Weight of the gold? The silver? Tobacco
I lose the reason
How much does a slave weigh?
Weight of the gold? The silver? Tobacco
I lose the reason
[Post-Chorus]
I saw everything I didn't have in my hands, privation
Everything I'll never have
[Pre-Chorus]
If I hear about the past
The time goes back and slow
I have a good place to run
And hide myself without peace
[Chorus]
How much does a slave weigh?
Weight of the gold? The silver? Tobacco
I lose the reason
How much does a slave weigh?
Weight of the gold? The silver? Tobacco
I lose the reason
How much does a slave weigh?
Weight of the gold? The silver? Tobacco
I lose the reason
How much does a slave weigh?
Weight of the gold? The silver? Tobacco
I lose the reason
[Post-Chorus]
I saw everything I didn't have in my hands, privation
Everything I'll never have
