Them Shackles Lyrics by Urthboy

Spitshine

2009

[Verse 1 Urthboy & Solo]
Deck the halls, paint the town
Everybody get your people up, gather around
Not bound to no-one, contract to no thing
Contract to no thing, you got to know things
This the sound to walk away, you walk away
Today you pop the cork and say, pop the cork and
I'm out, I'm gone, even before the song
Whether or not, uh, any of you come along
You won't hear a gong of departure
I am not the arrow your wannabe archer
(You wannabe archer) and I won't be frog marched
To your rut, I am not your pup so keep up
Catch me in no man's land, never yes man's land
Understand what I rep man, what I rep man
I'll take back my liberty, take back my liberty
Cause I had this epiphany

[Chorus]
You break them shackles (shackles)
Them shackles (shackles), them shackles (shackles)
You break them shackles (shackles)
Them shackles (shackles), them shackles (shackles)
You break them shackles (shackles)
Them shackles (shackles), them shackles (shackles)
You break them shackles (shackles)
(Break them shackles down - down - down)
(Break them shackles down - down - down)
(Break them shackles down)
[?]

[Verse 2 Solo & Jane]
I really like your motto
The part where I just follow
The bitter pill
That I'm supposed to swallow
With my feet in irons
Narrowed my path
Gave me a focus
Somewhere to start
You must break them

[Chorus]
You break them shackles (shackles)
Them shackles (shackles), them shackles (shackles)
You break them shackles (shackles)
Them shackles (shackles), them shackles (shackles)
You break them shackles (shackles)
Them shackles (shackles), them shackles (shackles)
You break them shackles (shackles)
(Break them shackles down - down - down)
You break them shackles (shackles)
Them shackles (shackles), them shackles (shackles)
You break them shackles (shackles)
Them shackles (shackles), them shackles (shackles)
You break them shackles (shackles)

[Verse 3 Urthboy, Solo & Jane]
Call your family and friends
Tell 'em that the saga ends, it's all done
We will celebrate with them
Yo we're not to be outdone
And what it is to be undone to be unlocked for free
Free from the cramped
Stamped and dated emancipated
The mandate that won't be faded
I feel like cutting loose
Against my better caution
Eradicate that distortion
And it feel awesome
Let me just stretch my arms
Stretch my legs, kneecaps feet and head
No thing can be compared, can be compared
When we leave that there for dead
