Chains

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
