[Lupe Fiasco, Sway, Eric Turner - Break the Chain lyrics]
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
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, 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
Super Swah, the cape remains
Thought I was MIA 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 paid my dues now I wait for change
And 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 Samson-ite 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 in Chicago
Call me Camera Chi
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
Chain broke, nicorette for your chain smoke
No cigarrettes on my plane, yo
Snatching herringbones from the game throat
Put it on mine, take a long time
BA baracus is how I'm looking online
In the webisode, necklace stole, let 'em know
That I put up the footage
That I'm takin' 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
Playa thinkin' 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
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
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

Strange fruit man look at how we swung
How the hell you gonna tell a son
