Chains — Eric Benet

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
