Chains Lyrics by Eric Benét

True to Myself

0

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 atleast 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 be afraid
Go on
Free your kind form 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 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
