Break the chain
|
|
Tracy is a good girl
|
Sweet 16
|
Her daddy's in her bedroom
|
Makes her feel unclean
|
She's slave to a secret
|
That her dad and she keep together
|
|
Nathan is a genius
|
Or at least he was
|
Nat traded future for a glass-pipe-buzz
|
Nat lives on the streets now
|
For $20 bills he'll do whatever
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Don't stop breaking the chains
|
Don't stop breakin' away
|
Don't be afraid of breaking the chains
|
It's up to no one else
|
You've got to free yourself
|
|
Rosie is a waitress at the airport lounge
|
She gave up on her dreams
|
Her self esteem's broke down
|
Now she stares out the window
|
Watching people fly around forever
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Make a change don't you be afraid, go on
|
Free your mind from the fear inside
|
And you won't be chained anymore
|
|
Look here I'm a black man
|
And they say I'm free
|
Seems like somebody s'til got chains on me
|
|
Well we got brothers killing brothers
|
Leaving young mothers to raise a family
|
We gotta stay together to make it better
|
|
[Chorus out]
|
