The track includes lead vocals by [[Sonny T.]] The song, as '''Slave''', was included merged with [[Acknowledge Me]] as the third track (second song) on the [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/December 2|2 December 1994]] configuration of [[Album: Exodus|Exodus]], but was removed from later configurations. The reason for the tracks being combined and tracked as only one track is not known. In early-to-mid 1995, [[Prince]] (as [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]) re-recorded the track at [[Paisley Park Studios]] using entirely different music, including gentle strings, probably provided by [[Clare Fischer]]'s orchestra. A marching drum pattern from the track was sampled from [[Ain't No Place Like U]], and was also used on the released version of [[Slave]], which contains some lyrical and musical similarities to '''Slave 2 The System''', but is otherwise a different song. This version was included as the second track on a July 1995, configuration of the [[Album: Emancipation|Emancipation]] album, and the third track on another 1995 configuration, but was removed as work on the album continued. The track remains unreleased. |
