Seeking A Favor

The Congos


So you seeking a favor in the eyes of your master 
So man you lighting a fire that will cause a disaster 
But I'm warning you don't kindle those flames 
For when it burns, burns, burns you will bear a bad name 

We are brothers and sisters birth from one mother 
Yet oppression turns us against one another 
Then you'll become your brother's rival 
Because you're fighting, fighting for survival 

So no seek no favor in the eyes of the master 
So man you lighting a fire that will cause a disaster 
But I'm warning you don't kindle those flames 
For when it burns, burns, burns you will bear a bad name 

Let us break down the system of curry favor 
And let good behavior become our savior, yea 
For as long as we can love one another, yea 
We can live together like sisters and brothers 

Class, creed and color is a barrier 
Which changes mankind into warriors 
But equality and justice stands for all 
Slave master your kingdom is bound to fall 

So no seek no favor in the eyes of your master 
So man you lighting a fire that will cause a disaster 
But I'm warning you don't kindle those flames 
For when it burns, burns, burns you will bear a bad name 

So no seek no favor in the eyes of your master 
So man you lighting a fire that will cause a disaster 
But i'm warning you don't kindle those flames 
For when it burns, burns, burns you will bear a bad name
