SLJ - Shackles lyrics

Shackles on our legs. Whips to the back of ya Oh you mad - we giving it back to ya We ain't seen freedom since we left Africa To the mother land know im coming back for ya Hand up - black lives matter Look, the patterns in the data I welcome you into the here after No longer n******gs we now masters Fear no man fear no gavel Just fear being chattel for the shadows Dead man walking Head inside the gallows Headless like Ichabod Crane - sleepy hollow And I know that's it's a hard pill to swallow But they'd gladly put you on a boat home tomorrow I'm not sorry, hardly ever am The truth is self evident - I am just a man They say the word is heaven sent - this is what I am A lyricist with hope and vision fighting 'til the end And I'ma keep it going 'til the earth is what I'm in But let my music play until the sun don't rise again Shackles on our legs. Whips to the back of ya Oh you mad - we giving it back to ya We ain't seen freedom since we left Africa To the mother land know I'm coming back for ya No - black - bodies We just - want - black - lives And if - you - want - peace Stop - tellin - them - lies Never will I ever give up heaven for the devil Peek into the fire like yo get up on my level Curse them damn liars making terrorists of rebels Molotov co*ktails, rocks, guns, pebbles Ready for the battle turning Babel into rubble Never been afraid swear I'm ready for the trouble If you really want war just die I am not about the talking And i never been shy - spirit high Do you hear it? Do you feel it? Just forfeit Lyrically gorgeous. Mental is a fortress I can't even price it and you cannot afford it Hip-hop died on the day it went corporate Listen while I'm giving you the details of the portrait The poor get nada - it's heaven up above when she holla Living for a dollar. Forgiveness is a dream The struggle living day to day enough to make you scream Shackles on our legs. Whips to the back of ya Oh you mad - we giving it back to ya We ain't seen freedom since we left Africa To the mother land know I'm coming back for ya Shackles on our legs. Whips to the back of ya Oh you mad - we giving it back to ya We ain't seen freedom since we left Africa To the mother land know I'm coming back for ya No - black - bodies We just - want - black - lives And if - you - want - peace Stop - tellin - them - lies No - black - bodies We just - want - black - lives And if - you - want - peace Stop - tellin - them - lies No - black - bodies We just - want - black - lives And if - you - want - peace Stop - tellin - them - lies No - black - bodies We just - want - black - lives And if - you - want - peace Stop - tellin - them - lies Shackles on our legs. Whips to the back of ya Oh you mad - we giving it back to ya We ain't seen freedom since we left Africa To the mother land know I'm coming back for ya No - black - bodies We just - want - black - lives And if - you - want - peace Stop - tellin - them - lies
