Lyrics

(Chorus - Eric Turner) 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, Aye-yeah, I might just break the chain. (Verse One - Lupe Fiasco) Freedom - we can use some of that especially where we from, Where we grew up like a green thumb, like a criminal the only thing you can become Look at what I became, something like a phenom, nuttin' but a g-thang Things I've seen when I'm looking out of these frames Pictures I've painted on the walls where we hang From the trees we hung, a strange fruit man look at how we swung How the hell you gonna tell us sunt' when ain't have a father how to try 'n' grow up and be one See um', I feel it in my bones when I'm sitting on a throne like a killer with a chrome when I spit another poem, shed a whole lotta like on a little bit of home. POW! (Chorus - Eric Turner) (Verse Two - Sway DeSafo) 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 stay sharp, mother knew how to raise a blade (razor blade) I paid my dues now I wait for change With a flow so rude it goes without Ask Lupe, I'm Surce I aid the breaks Quick to cut off any baggage like some samurai I like to travel light I gotta leave you at home Delilah, this is Samson night (Samsonite) No case for the po-lace (police) Said I know Killah's I never seen 'em, Ghostface Only time I'm watching is my Panerai I've got an alibi I was taking pictures in Chicago call me camera shy (chi) (Chorus - Eric Turner) (Verse Three - Lupe Fiasco) Chain broke, get a nicorette for your chain smoke No cigarrettes on my plane, yo Snatch your herringbones from the game throat Put it on mine, take a long time B.A. Baracus is how I'm livin' online In a webisode, necklace glow, let 'em know That I put up the footage that I've taken your shine Wanna see the real chains look in your mind Your brain look like Keenan Wayans brotha Overgold, overload, broken soul N-ggas playing games in the hood they got you stuck-up Playa think its cool to be a pimp still We gon' set it free like a fish in a pimp heel Take this song, rearrange it, change it, danger, Sway-zer, Lupe Laser POW! (Chorus - Eric Turner) x2
