K Bishop - Shackles and Chains

I come from shackles and Chains
Riding in the car with my thing
Ride around town with my gang
You made me this way you made me this way
All of my women the same
Now I'm buying shackles and chains
Riding around with my thing
You made me this way you made me this way

You work me you whip me you whip me you work me
Now you say I'm lazy
you killed all my brothers you raped all my mothers
And took all our babies
And when we keep asking for reparations you just tell us forget it
But you made that profit you still making profit cuz you building prisons
Cuz you got a system you ain't got to listen but
How far you think my people fall before they're risen
Look at what you give em
Look at what they made of it
Whole bunch of early inventions is like they came with it
This ain't even half of the song Mr. Colombus was just tagging along
We even tagged along with him
And to think he said he had the Lord with him
All he gave us was genocide
My back skin oh you gonna be terrified

I come from shackles and Chains
Riding in the car with my thing
Ride around town with my gang
You made me this way you made me this way
All of my women the same
Now I'm buying shackles and chains
Riding around with my thing
You made me this way you made me this way

I came through shackles and chains
Took me from land of the kings
I do not know my real name
I came to work in the fields and the plains
You came with weapons you came on my land
All of the things that you claim this is your game
You came and messed with my brain
There is more to my people than shackles and chains
You aint seeing nothing but a new dream nothing but a true dream
We gone get it all
You aint seeing nothing but a true scene nothing but a new scene
We gone get it all
You aint seeing nothing but a new dream nothing but a true dream
We gone get it all
You aint seeing nothing but a true scene nothing but a new scene
We gone get it all

I come from shackles and Chains
Riding in the car with my thing
Ride around town with my gang
You made me this way you made me this way
All of my women the same
Now I'm buying shackles and chains
Riding around with my thing
You made me this way you made me this way

You work me you whip me you whip me you work me
Now you say I'm lazy
You killed all my brothers you raped all my mothers
And you took our babies
And when we keep asking for reparations you just tell us forget it
But you made that profit you still making profit cuz you building prisons
You building prisons
You still making profit cuz you building prisons
You building prisons
Still making profit cuz you building prisons
Tell me you different
Still making profit cuz you building prisons
We ain't gone follow the system
This a new mission
We gone be part of the vision
