Slaves (feat. Why Why Peaches) Lyrics


-Peaches (Chorus):
We could sit around and talk for days
'bout all the things that we would change
But we never thought, never thought that we were slaves-Kano:
Uh, run away run away underground deep
Release me from these shackles around feet.
Old masters they don't own me
Treat artists like sheep by they don't know me
Rap star, rap star have you any tunes?
Yes sir, yes sir, 3 disks full
One for the radio and one for the states and one for my peoples who live down the lane
Can't fool me boom free MIA
But kill us over time, Ali Boombaye
Puppets on the string, insignificant
As people we've come a long way but we don't act different
Money makes the world go round, dead presidents
Summit like a spoon full of sugar to the medicine
Necessary evil, slave to the sterling

They run the world that we all just work in.-Peaches: Chorus x 2-Kano:
Look, pawns in the game but we don't make the checkmate
Front line of defence, that's the modern day slave
Used for consumerism so we get paid
And give it straight back that's the boomerang play
Win-win for them, c'mon folk lose-lose
Programmed like robots, do what we're told to
Aha, the whole worlds singing
The same song, but changes? Ain't makin' them
Brake slips blingin', gold chains swingin'
Face tattooed up - Lil' Wayne tears drippin'
Still in prison in this world we live in
So wade in the water children
No master
Escapism through music, with no capture
Accept the moment, 'cause I'll be on a prince protest
Before I become a slave to the game bro'
I'll be the artist formally known as Kano.-Peaches:
After listening to the preacher
It seems that all the others teach us
Is how to fear
And fear it all
Till you feel/fear (?)We could sit around and talk for days
'bout all the things that we would change
But we never thought, never thought that we were slavesWe could sit around and talk for days
'bout all the things that we would change
But we never thought (never thought), never thought (never thought) that we were slaves (that we were the slaves).

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
There are two musical projects by the name of Kano -- [1] a UK hip hop / grime rapper and [2] a classic italo-disco project

[1] In his early teens Kano attended Langdon Comprehensive School in East Ham, Newham, where his mother still works. Kano was a promising footballer, representing Chelsea F.C., Junior Hammers and Norwich City by the age of thirteen, but in the end he abandoned his sporting ambitions in favour of a musical career. His cousin Jonathan Fortune plays for Charlton Athletic.

His first track was "Boys love Girls". Kano first became known on the UK grime scene for his work with his original group, N.A.S.T.Y Crew (Natural Artistic Sounds Touching You). From this springboard he was signed as a solo artist and began work on his debut solo album.

He is signed to 679 Recordings and is a lablemate of The Streets. He was also a key member in East London’s N.A.S.T.Y. Crew. However, since being signed to 679 recordings, he has now left N.A.S.T.Y Crew, and took Demon and Ghetto with him.

Home Sweet Home was a great critical success, from across the British press, most notably The Independent and The Observer, two creditable UK based newspapers. Many artists in the UK and US have expressed positive views of the album, including Busta Rhymes, Nas, RZA, Jay-Z, Andre 3000 and Chuck D of Public Enemy.

Towards the end of 2005, Kano also released a mixtape, Beats & Bars, which is currently only available at his concerts.

London Town was released on September 10, 2007, which included hit single, "This Is The Girl", featuring Craig David. London Town includes tracks featuring Gorillaz member Damon Albarn formerly of Blur, Kate Nash, Craig David, Vybz Kartel and Leo The Lion.

Kano is also releasing a special Deluxe Limited Edition that includes a DVD featuring a interview with Kano, This Is The Girl video and acoustic studio footage with Craig David.

Kano has now been dropped/left 679 recordings.

[2] Kano was a post-disco music project formed in 1979 by Italian-based producers/musicians Luciano Ninzatti, Stefano Pulga and Matteo Bonsanto. They were early producers of a style of Italian dance music called Italo-disco, a blend of 1970s disco and funk with the addition of synthesizers.

Kano's sound was first heard on radio stations and in dance clubs around the world with their debut hit single, 1980's "I'm Ready", from their self-titled debut album (which also included the minor hits, "It's a War" and the instrumental track "Cosmic Voyager"). The b-side of "I'm Ready", "Holly Dolly" used the same essential production elements. "I'm Ready" also peaked at #21 on the Black Singles chart. "It's a War" was also a big hit on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart in the U.S., reaching #2 for five weeks.

The project went on to record two other albums, including 1981's "New York Cake" (which included the minor hits "Don't Try to Stop Me", and "Can't Hold Back") and 1983's "Another Life" (including the title track and "I Need Love") which introduced West Indian-born singer Glen White. Their last song was 1985's "This Is the Night".

"I'm Ready" was later used as a sample on a few songs, such as Gigolo Tony's 1986 hit "Hokie Pokie" and Rofo's 1987 hit "Flashlight In A Disconight. The most well-known use of it as a sample is on Tag Team's 1993 hit, "Whoomp! (There It Is)". "Another Life" was remixed by Master Blaster featuring in their 2003 album "We Love Italo Disco". "Another Life" was also sampled in the 2005 track "Discopolis" by Lifelike & Kris Menace. "Ikeya Seki" was sampled by the French electro house artist Kavinsky for his track "Grand Canyon", which appeared on his 2007 EP, 1986.
