Unshackle The Chains

Don’t start the revolution without me, merely a woman but please don’t doubt me
Strength of a bull, spurring throughout me.
And they’re afraid
But not of my tender frame
And not of my name
But they’re afraid of my words and the things that I exclaim
Unshackle your chains!
We’re not asking permission
Not living another day in this destitute condition
Unshackling the iron chains you have put on our cognition
On our tradition, our position, this aint a plea but a sedition
And Im standing at the front line, to look the beast in his face
And Im taking my retribution for the truths that you’ve erased
All the lives that you’ve debased, and the body’s you have slain
We’ve awaken from our coma and are unshackling the chains
And to the minds that were captive like mine too blind to resist
The ones that pleaded for us to get along, so we can coexist
Who have fell in love with the master’s chains, numbed by his venom kiss
Too deaf to hear the serpent when so violently he hissed
We’ve taken you upon our shoulder’s but need you to come out that sleep
Need soldiers on the hilltops, to see the snakes in the valley deep
Need you to open up your eyes, so you can see the devil’s disguise
Reclaim your birthright, and all your truths that he denies
Unshackle your chains! Start with the ones on your hands and feet
That got you adhesive to these streets, auction blocks that’s concrete
And then remove them from your mind so you can relinquish your heart
And you can begin to love your brother and the knowledge will impart
And we can begin to destroy the falsehood of the inhumane
Begin to get over the pain
If we just unshackle the chains…
