KRS-One - Break the Chain lyrics

Word! echoes

Uhhh! Uhh, uhh! Unh! (Awww yeah)
Uhh, unh, uhh! Unh, uh, uhh, uh, uhh, uhh
(yeah bring somethin in a
Little like that yo)

Break the Chain, Break the Chain! clink

Yo, get with your culture it'll catapult ya
Ignorance is like a vulture and
It will insult ya
My name is Krash, Joe Krash, Big Joe Krash
Built to last, education for mass
Never take a dive yo, strive for the livin
Today is a beginning
For you to start winning
You cannot walk around town like you a idiot
Livin it with some Boyz N
Tha Hood is your affiliate
That's simply ignorant
Really that's the enemy
Train your brain to attain your identity
Self construction not Self Destruction
If you're tryin to be a gangster
You're buggin
If you're not movin ahead yo, you're buggin
You gotta look at yourself, and
Try to change somethin, huh
So check the animation for the
Nation of the - money my name is Krash
I'm way liver than Bugs Bunny
This is the underground way to
Put knowledge in your brain
But first we gotta break the chain, c'mon
Break the Chain, Break the Chain! clink
Word! echoes
Break the Chain, Break the Chain! clink

Yo, I don't wanna be a
Dummy walkin round smellin funny
Lookin bummy or crummy with no money (Go)
But when I go to school
The teacher ain't teachin
And when I go to church
The preacher ain't preachin
Who they think they reachin
The old style is dead
Instead wake up the knowledge
In your own head
With new ideas you got fewer fears
And with fewer fears
You can get paid in it for years
Yo, take a look around where you at
If you think it's wack
Educate yourself and change that (wack)
I'm fallin down and I can't get
Up I ain't buyin it
Change the way you think
You'll change your environment
We weren't always slaves or livin in caves
This is what we learned
So this is how we now behave
You can get new ideas by lookin ALL around
Read lessons
Ask questions on what is goin down (yeah)
Break the chain that used to be on your foot
Now it's on your mind, behind your eyes
You can't vote, you can't see it
You can't believe it
I'm breakin the chain of ignorance
Anything you can achieve it (yeah)
Open your eyes, realize I'm bein God
Enough of the lies, let's rise and
Break the Chain, Break the Chain! clink
Word! echoes
Break the Chain, Break the Chain! clink
