I been ridin' waves child Guilt thru all my days child How this place was settled The murder and the shame
Secrets been exposed child Truth we must uphold child Constant fight for justice To pave the way for change
Living in denial Goin' through the same old cycle Penal colony survival Depending on ya ball and chain
System gonna customize ya The man he gonna redefine ya Gotta hunt like a night time spider Depending on ya ball and chain
I'm a su-, I'm a survivor Full on energy provider Sometimes you gotta improvise it Dеpending on ya ball and chain
System gonna customize ya Thе man he gonna redefine ya Gotta hunt like a night time spider Depending on ya ball and chain
Wisdom from the old school Mixed up with the new school To make up brand new colors Paint the walls of change
Get among gotta do your time now Gotta take it in your stride now Gotta make what you can come alive now Depending on your ball and chain
Everyday I lift my spirit up But see my soul is getting heavy Pressure on my back and I can barely hold it steady In a cold world but daily I keep sweatin'
'Cause I'm vulnerable locked in a system that's so deadly huh And now I'm racing to build a foundation To raise a better life for the younger generation Discriminations we have to change those And mix up all the colors to form a rainbow
'Cause this ball and chain has incarcerated my freedom Born into the system and wasn't given a reason Same cycle continues and follows the same sequence Screaming for change and it's bringing out inner demons
This ball and chain got me feeling some type of way Ball and chain got me feeling like I'm a slave It's like I'm swimming up and an anchors got me drowned But still I survive and to keep alive I gotta pray pray pray
And if such things were equal We may find a need to To mix up all the colors Break down the walls of race
Get among gotta do your time now Gotta take it in your stride now Gotta make what you can come alive now Depending on your ball and chain
I'm a su-, I'm a survivor Full on energy provider Sometimes you gotta improvise it Depending on ya ball and chain
System gonna customize ya The man he gonna redefine ya Gotta hunt like a night time spider Depending on ya ball and chainTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
