Guilty Simpson - Break The Chain lyrics

[Verse 1: hasHBrown] Ancestors disappointed black folks anointed And the self hatred turns global Countries built off the work we did in they soil Now we disgrace our humbled ‘great greats' With material spoils as the white man drills for oil From kings to rappers, doctors to trappers Lawyers to actors, moon-walking like Michael Jackson Blacks love to move backwards Thinking ‘rich' but not ‘wealth' Smoke and drink everything benign health Slaves paid the cost so we can walk around like the boss White tees and chains, same thing we took a loss Knowledge is power but we would rather floss Strength in numbers but we hate whoever makes it to the top Crabs in the bucket of chicken like f** it And if we loved ‘us', we'd do better for ‘us' Support is forced love, black on black slugs Meet your brother with a mean mug but not a hug [Sample hook] “You don't love me now, and you'll never love me again I can still hear you saying, You will never break the chain Never break the chain” [Verse 2:Guilty Simpson] They got us scramblin' for crumbs in the slums Where murderers bust guns, I wasn't blessed with a trust fund So we trust none, from the same city When cold cats die in the summer sun (Detroit) They play the corner like a bump and run I'm where the politicians never come Street mayors campaign while reign Get's the moet toasting over priced champagne I'm feelin' so vexed, tension is thick With one mention of rich, it's like they programmed Hit me a lick or get me a brick later get the enemy hit Like this a new dope man, I'm in a strange place Gangs of different hues but I'm still confused they have the same face k**in' themselves inner city hell with sales Getting' cats in cells [Sample hook] “You don't love me now, and you'll never love me again I can still hear you saying, You will never break the chain Never break the chain” [Verse 3:hasHBrown] As the youth suffers from broke homes Baby daddy's baby mothers The family structure in destruction Young brothers not using rubbers giving birth to youngin's Enslaved with no hopes to ‘break the chain' Music videos engraved in they brains They actually believe what we saying, while education isn't obtained Nor maintained, drink the kool-aid , smoke the kush Like we're hittin the same strain, we should urge progress In a government suppressed by economic depression No wonder people stressin' survival day to day Is a test we ain't ready for, like when the levees broke Response time was joke I ain't proud to see my folks sellin' dope Strung out on coke, we once was royalty Every day above ground should be symbol of hope Break the chain I can't cope, I can't cope [Sample hook] “You don't love me now, and you'll never love me again I can still hear you saying, You will never break the chain Never break the chain”
