Lyrics Chains - Eric Benét

Chains

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
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
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
