Break The Chain

(álbum: Lasers - 2011)

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
I might just break the chain

[Lupe Fiasco:]
Freedom
We can use some of that especially where we from
Where we grew up like a green thumb
It's like a criminal is the only thing you can become

Look at what I became
Something like a phenom, Nuthin But A 'G' Thang
Things I've seen when I'm looking out of these frames
Pictures I painted on the walls where we hang

From the trees we hung
Strange fruit man look at how we swung
How the hell you gonna tell a son
Who ain't have a father
How to try to grow up and be one?

See um feel it in my bones
That I'm sitting on a throne
Like a killer with a chrome
When I spit another poem
Shed a whole lot of light on a little bit of home

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

[Sway:]
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 stayed sharp
Mother knew how to raise-a-blade [razor blade]

I've paid my dues now I wait for change
Because the flows so rude
It goes without ask Lupe
I'm Sucre, I aid the break

Quick to cut off any baggage like some samurai
I like to travel light
I've gotta leave you at home Delilah
This is Samsonite

No case for the police
Said I know Killah's, I never seen them
Ghostface, only time I'm watching is my Panerai
I've got an alibi
I was taking pics of Chicago call me camera Chi [shy]

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

[Lupe Fiasco:]
Chain broke
Pick up Nicorette for your chain smoke
No cigarettes on my plane, yo
Snatching herringbones from the game throat

Put it on mine, take a long time
B. A. Baracus is how I'm looking on-line
In the webisode, necklace stole, let 'em know
That I put up the footage that I'm taking your shine

Wanna see the real chains? Look in your mind
Your brain look like Keenan Wayans, brother
Overgold, overload, broken soul
Niggas playing games in the hood they got you stuck-up

Player thinking that it's cool to be a pimp still
We gon' set it free like a fish in a pimp heel
Take this home, rearrange it, change it
Danger, Sway-zer, Lupe Laser. Pow

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
