Slave Trade
Verse 1:
I'm a living witness, matter fact I am the living proof
I'm stating facts I know for certain so you know its truth
Being born in sin's a sure lock, but most don't have a clue
Like Alex Haley I'm writing just to show u my roots
A Slave to sin's what I was, wasn't a misfit
Cause I was enslaved to him
And clutched to him like a stick shift
My life back then, it was a total disaster
But I loved it, simply because I loved pleasing my Master
Sinfulness chased me telling me it was all good
Impurity raped me and then ruined my manhood
Pride kicked my behind like a frat boy that can't stand wood
I loved it the whole time, I thought they treated ya man good
Passionately pursued all my passions
Took all my thoughts and words, made em verbs, gave em action
It's the surface I'm scratching
Slavery to Sin used to look so attractive
Used to love the life I lived, thought it would be everlasting
Hook:
Those old days, I'm not going back to my old ways
There was a slave trade, this is the slave trade
I'm brand new! My whole life's been renewed
Cause I was a part of the slave trade, this is the slave trade
(x2)
Verse 2:
Sin had me trapped, I didn't know he was burdensome
But then everything changed when somebody said , 'I'm gon' purchase him'
And he was talking bout' me, I'd never heard of him
Said he was the creator who had some redemptive purposes
I started bugging! My master sin started murking him
Then called me in like backup I beat him and started cursing him

My sin's a beast, look at Him, my dude just murdered him
But then he rose up, brushed himself off, and said, 'now start worshiping!”
Externally, your boy was light skinned, I liked sin
Ain't know my heart was dark, until Christ brought the light in
Came in conquering like a Viking
Finally saw the yoke around my neck was heavy, It wasn't no lite sin
Now peep the details, Sin has been derailed
Christ paid for me with his blood, we see it wasn't a cheap sale
He took my place when I sinful and ungodly
And He did it with one body, two pieces of wood, and three nails
Hook
Verse 3:
The slave trade was my Emancipation proclamation
His mere proclamation, it led to my emancipation
Now the contemplation of the consummation
Awaits the celebration of His congregations conjugation
I was curious, “Who is this Kurios?”
He said his name was King Jesus, and he made me his dulos (his slave)
The fact that he was a king immediately got me thinking
For him to stoop low and die for me mean he's a Suffering Servant
Like Lebron James the King abandoned his home
To come down south and wade in another zone
He came and got me, that's what we call adopting
Died for me, His enemy, that's how he shows his agape
Surrendered all my rights, you could say that he copped me
Because he's metamorphic, that's probably why he rocks me
He's my one desire, it's only him that I'm needing
Freed from sin to be his slave, but his slavery's feeling like freedom
