Shackles and Chains Lyrics

I come from shackles and Chains

Riding in the car with my thing

Ride around town with my gang

You made me this way you made me this way

All of my women the same

Now I’m buying shackles and chains

Riding around with my thing

You made me this way you made me this way

You work me you whip me you whip me you work me

Now you say I’m lazy

you killed all my brothers you raped all my mothers

And took all our babies

And when we keep asking for reparations you just tell us forget it

But you made that profit you still making profit cuz you building prisons

Cuz you got a system you ain't got to listen but

How far you think my people fall before they’re risen

Look at what you give em

Look at what they made of it

Whole bunch of early inventions is like they came with it

This ain't even half of the song Mr. Colombus was just tagging along

We even tagged along with him

And to think he said he had the Lord with him

All he gave us was genocide

My back skin oh you gonna be terrified

I come from shackles and Chains

Riding in the car with my thing

Ride around town with my gang

You made me this way you made me this way

All of my women the same

Now I’m buying shackles and chains

Riding around with my thing

You made me this way you made me this way

I came through shackles and chains

Took me from land of the kings

I do not know my real name

I came to work in the fields and the plains

You came with weapons you came on my land

All of the things that you claim this is your game

You came and messed with my brain

There is more to my people than shackles and chains

You aint seeing nothing but a new dream nothing but a true dream

We gone get it all

You aint seeing nothing but a true scene nothing but a new scene

We gone get it all

You aint seeing nothing but a new dream nothing but a true dream

We gone get it all

You aint seeing nothing but a true scene nothing but a new scene

We gone get it all

I come from shackles and Chains

Riding in the car with my thing

Ride around town with my gang

You made me this way you made me this way

All of my women the same

Now I’m buying shackles and chains

Riding around with my thing

You made me this way you made me this way

You work me you whip me you whip me you work me

Now you say I’m lazy

You killed all my brothers you raped all my mothers

And you took our babies

And when we keep asking for reparations you just tell us forget it

But you made that profit you still making profit cuz you building prisons

You building prisons

You still making profit cuz you building prisons

You building prisons

Still making profit cuz you building prisons

Tell me you different

Still making profit cuz you building prisons

We ain't gone follow the system

This a new mission

We gone be part of the vision
