BREAK THE CHAIN - Lupe Fiasco, Eric Turner, Sway

I waited all my life to play

I still can’t find a way

But if I work it one more day

I might just break the chain

I might just break the chain

I might just break the chain

I might just break the chain

Freedom

We can use some of that especially where we from

Where we grew up like a green thumb

It’s like a criminal is the only thing you can become

Look at what I became

Something like a phenom, Nuthin But A 'G' Thang

Things I’ve seen when I’m looking out of these frames

Pictures I painted on the walls where we hang

From the trees we hung

Strange fruit man look at how we swung

How the hell you gonna tell a son

Who ain’t have a father

How to try to grow up and be one?

See um feel it in my bones

That I’m sitting on a throne

Like a killer with a chrome

When I spit another poem

Shed a whole lot of light on a little bit of home

I waited all my life to play

I still can’t find a way

But if I work it one more day

I might just break the chain

I might just break the chain

I might just break the chain

Super Swah, the cape remains

Thought I was M.I.A.

no paper?

Planes

I’m fly plus I don’t write no more

It’s all off of the top

I shaved the braids and stayed sharp

Mother knew how to raise-a-blade

I’ve paid my dues now I wait for change

Because the flows so rude

It goes without ask Lupe

I’m Sucre, I aid the break

Quick to cut off any baggage like some samurai

I like to travel light

I’ve gotta leave you at home Delilah

This is Samsonite

No case for the police

Said I know Killah’s, I never seen them

Ghostface, only time I’m watchin' is my Panerai

I’ve got an alibi

I was taking pics of Chicago call me camera Chi

I waited all my life to play

I still can’t find a way

But if I work it one more day

I might just break the chain

I might just break the chain

I might just break the chain

Chain broke

Pick up Nicorette for your chain smoke

No cigarettes on my plane, yo

Snatching herringbones from the game throat

Put it on mine, take a long time

B. A. Baracus is how I’m looking on-line

In the webisode, necklace stole, let 'em know

That I put up the footage that I’m takin' your shine

Wanna see the real chains?

Look in your mind

Your brain look like Keenan Wayans, brother

Overgold, overload, broken soul

Niggas playing games in the hood they got you stuck-up

Player thinkin' that it’s cool to be a pimp still

We gon' set it free like a fish in a pimp heel

Take this home, rearrange it, change it

Danger, Sway-zer, Lupe Laser.

Pow

I waited all my life to play

I still can’t find a way

But if I work it one more day

I might just break the chain

I might just break the chain

I might just break the chain
