Gregory Isaacs performs 'Slave Master' from his album on Acid Jazz. The reggae legend delivers a lyrical mix of metaphor and rebellion, with repeated motifs about rising temperature, unmet desire, and fiery retaliation.
Thank you very much indeed, Suggs, and very good luck with the LP Lone Ranger. Our next guest, we've seen a little bit of already, has got a new album out on the Acid Jazz label. It's got, uh, new songs and classics like this one, Slave Master. Please welcome Mr. Gregory Isaacs.
Every time I hear the music and I make a dip, I dip, yeah. If Master comes around and spank I would just whip over. But if I don't get my desire, then I set the plantation on fire. My temperature is getting much higher. Daddy, give me what I require. 'Cause every time you do the work, sometimes you hurt, yeah. Lotta mercy. I'll never do a thing but don't, don't do it again. And if I don't get my desire, then I'll set the PlayStation on fire. My temperature is getting much higher. Get me in what I require. Slim Master. Every time I hear the music and I move my hip, my hip, yeah. Slim Master comes around and spank I with his whip, a whip. And if I don't get my desire, then I flip the PlayStation and fire. My temperature is getting much higher. Can't forget what I require. Big Master, I'm the shepherd of my pastor. You bring me the skull, so allow me make one. Back up with it, 'cause I'm accustomed to your bit— Yeah. And if your belly is a round, round, round, I truly take a sip.
