Don't stop breaking the chains
For $20 bills he'll do whatever
Don't be afraid of breaking the chains
Nat traded future for a glass-pipe-buzz
It's up to no one else
Look here, I'm a black man
Or at least he was
You've got to free yourself
You've got to free yourself
And you won't be chained anymore
She's slave to a secret
Don't stop breakin' away
Don't stop breaking the chains
It's up to no one else
Nat lives on the streets now
Her self esteem's broke down
And they say I'm free
Makes her feel unclean
Don't stop breakin' away
She gave up on her dreams
Rosie is a waitress at the airport lounge
Well, we got brothers killing brothers
Nathan is a genius
Don't be afraid of breaking the chains
Now she stares out the window
Tracy is a good girl, sweet sixteen
Make a change, don't you be afraid, go on
That her dad and she keep together
Don't stop breaking the chains
Leaving young mothers to raise a family
Don't be afraid of breaking the chains
Watching people fly around forever
We gotta stay together to make it better
Seems like somebody still got chains on me
Don't stop breakin' away
It's up to no one else
Her daddy's in her bedroom
Free your mind from the fear inside
