Lyric Chains

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]
