[Hook]: I'm breaking the chains I'm breaking the chains I'mma do me, y'all can sit and complain Cause all I got in this world is my balls and my word My family and my name I'm breaking the chains I'm breaking the chains I'mma do me, y'all can sit and complain Cause all I got in this world is my balls and my word My family and my name I'm breaking the chains [Verse One]: I ain't never felt freer I doubted my God but he made me a believer But he ain't put me through Hell, he put me somewhere deeper A river of sh** somehow came out cleaner You can see it when you gaze my demeanor Born not to follow I was made from leaders Cut from a cloth that's been burned and banished So I'm in the cotton fields till the seeds are replanted And I'mma sew a new cloth that expands the planet Pieces of a canvas filled from my point of vantage Been overlooked, misled and mismanaged Been left for dead, so called friends up and vanished Things went wrong I gave myself to blame Truly a lost cause gave myself the name But just like mighty Kong and them runaway slaves I freed myself from the bullsh**, I'm breaking the chain [Hook] [Sample of 'Don't Move' by Phantogram]: I'm not your nervous feeling Each time we say goodnight You picture buildings burning to the ground From a basement in the streetlight (I'm breaking the chains) I'm not your drinking problem A hole is in the sky (I'm breaking the chains) It's not your heart that you've been thinking of Just the feeling like you're gonna die [Reef] I'm breaking the chains I'm breaking the chains I'mma do me, y'all can sit and complain Cause all I got in this world is my balls and my word My family and my name I'm breaking the chains I'm breaking the chains I'mma do me, y'all can sit and complain Cause all I got in this world is my balls and my word My family and my name I'm breaking the chains [Verse Two] I ain't never felt freer I doubted my God but he made me a believer But he ain't put me through Hell, he put me somewhere deeper A river of sh** somehow came out cleaner Like Andy Dufresne My arms to the sky as I stand in the rain The chains placed around my art Is like puttin' a cage around my heart It gets dark There's no spark, there's no thought, there's no lyrics There's no hook, there's no arc No bridge for me to come across Cause I'm afraid if I switch it up, it won't come across Well that's your loss If you need me to be Somebody I was seven years ago, that's weak No matter what I do or say, yo that's Reef I'll still rock your jaw, don't get fooled by the feet I'm free [Singing} I'm not your fortune teller (I'm breaking the chain) I'm not your spinning head (I'm breaking the chain) I'll never make you uncomfortable too This is starting to f** with my head [Verse Three]: Respect the growth and know that MCing is a respected oath In which I can only be described as dope I won't be binded by any chains or ropes I'm reachin' my full scope it's not a f**in' joke Trust me I take it very seriously within this industry So take whatever misconceptions Or what directions you think I'm gonna go next in Cause you can't plan the path of aggression [Hook]: I'm breaking the chains I'mma do me, y'all can sit and complain Cause all I got in this world is my balls and my word My family and my name I'm breaking the chains I'm breaking the chains I'mma do me, y'all can sit and complain Cause all I got in this world is my balls and my word My family and my name I'm breaking the chains {X16} [Singing]: All you know how to do is shake shake Keep your body still Keep your body still All you do is shake shake shake Keep your body still Keep your body still
