Lyrics
0:20And I'm in denial
0:24And it don't take no x-ray to see right through my smile
0:29I know I be on the go
0:34And there ain't no drink out there that can numb my soul
0:40Oh no
0:43All we wanna do is take the chains off
0:46All we wanna do is break the chains off
0:49All we wanna do is be free
0:51All we wanna do is be free
0:54All we wanna do is take the chains off
0:57All we wanna do is break the chains off
1:00All we wanna do is be free
1:02All we wanna do is be free
1:04Can you tell me why
1:07Every time I step outside I see my n***as die
1:15I'm lettin' you know
1:18That there ain't no gun they make that can kill my soul
1:24Oh no
1:27All we wanna do is take the chains off
1:30All we wanna do is break the chains off
1:32All we wanna do is be free
1:35All we wanna do is be free
1:38All we wanna do is take the chains off
1:41All we wanna do is break the chains off
1:43All we wanna do is be free
1:46All we wanna do is be free
1:48So now it was like the officer is pulling him inside the car and he's trying to pull away At no time the officer said that he was going to do anything until he pulled out his weapon His weapon was drawn and he said I'll shoot you or I'm going to shoot and in the same moment the first shot went off We looked down and he was shot and there was blood coming from him Then we took off running
2:11Are we all alone fighting on our own
2:17Please give me a chance I don't wanna dance
2:22Somethings got me down I will stand my ground
2:28Don't just stand around don't just stand around
2:34As we took off running I ducked and hid for my life because I was fearing for my life I hid behind the first car I saw My friend he kept running and he told me to keep running because he feared for me too So as he was running the officer was trying to get out of the car and once he got out the car he pursued my friend but his weapon was drawn Now he didn't see any weapon drawn at him or anything like that us going for no weapon His weapon was already drawn when he got out the car He shot again and once my friend felt that shot he turned around and put his hands in the air and started to get down but the officer still approached with his weapon drawn and he fired 7 more shots and my friend died
3:16All we wanna do is take the chains off
3:19All we wanna do is break the chains off
3:22All we wanna do is be free
3:24All we wanna do is be free
3:27All we wanna do is take the chains off
3:30All we wanna do is break the chains off
3:32All we wanna do is be free
3:35All we wanna do is be free
And I'm in denial And it don't take no x-ray to see right through my smile I know I be on the go And there ain't no drink out there that can numb my soul Oh no All we wanna do is take the chains off All we wanna do is break the chains off All we wanna do is be free All we wanna do is be free All we wanna do is take the chains off All we wanna do is break the chains off All we wanna do is be free All we wanna do is be free Can you tell me why Every time I step outside I see my n***as die I'm lettin' you know That there ain't no gun they make that can kill my soul Oh no All we wanna do is take the chains off All we wanna do is break the chains off All we wanna do is be free All we wanna do is be free All we wanna do is take the chains off All we wanna do is break the chains off All we wanna do is be free All we wanna do is be free So now it was like the officer is pulling him inside the car and he's trying to pull away At no time the officer said that he was going to do anything until he pulled out his weapon His weapon was drawn and he said I'll shoot you or I'm going to shoot and in the same moment the first shot went off We looked down and he was shot and there was blood coming from him Then we took off running Are we all alone fighting on our own Please give me a chance I don't wanna dance Somethings got me down I will stand my ground Don't just stand around don't just stand around As we took off running I ducked and hid for my life because I was fearing for my life I hid behind the first car I saw My friend he kept running and he told me to keep running because he feared for me too So as he was running the officer was trying to get out of the car and once he got out the car he pursued my friend but his weapon was drawn Now he didn't see any weapon drawn at him or anything like that us going for no weapon His weapon was already drawn when he got out the car He shot again and once my friend felt that shot he turned around and put his hands in the air and started to get down but the officer still approached with his weapon drawn and he fired 7 more shots and my friend died All we wanna do is take the chains off All we wanna do is break the chains off All we wanna do is be free All we wanna do is be free All we wanna do is take the chains off All we wanna do is break the chains off All we wanna do is be free All we wanna do is be free
