Debt is the Slavery of the Free
Richard
Track 1
Reconstruct the poem by dragging each line into its correct position. You can also use the up (↑) and down (↓) arrows to move a line one place at a time, or the top (⇑) and bottom (⇓) arrows to move a line directly to the top or bottom. Your goal is to reassemble the original poem as accurately as possible. As you move the lines, you'll see whether your arrangement is correct, helping you explore the poem's flow and meaning. You can also print out the jumbled poem to cut up and reassemble in the classroom. Either way, take your time, enjoy the process, and discover how the poet's words come together to create something truly beautiful.

It ain't bars or chains, but it's just as real
Chains made of credit, can't you see?
Debt's the new shackles, that's the deal
They say money talks, but debt screams louder
Yo, listen up, I got a story to tell
About a trap that's got us locked in a cell
Debt is the slavery of the free
Student loans, credit cards, man, it kills
Trapped in a cycle, can't get off this street
Debt is the slavery of the free
Debt is the slavery of the free
Got us chasing paper, feeling smaller and smaller
Cause true freedom starts when you free your soul
Started with a dream, now we're drowning in bills
Freedom's just a word when you're owned by the bank
Interest piling up, we can't break free
But knowledge is power, time to break free
Educate yourself, make a plan, take control
Gotta break these chains, before our spirits tank
Working nine to five, still can't make ends meet
