Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I feel so tired of the lights
Fill the tank with gasoline
One match to burn these chains with ease
I feel so tired of the lights
Fill the tank with gasoline
One match to burn these chains they weave
[Verse 2]
It's like we stuck in a prison
Suffering from lack of wisdom
Suffering from lack of substance
The system's lacking some isms
Since it's killing the misery
Hope my children remember me
Since I sing songs of symphony
Something's just gotten into me
Message, don't kill the messenger
Message travel through seven seas
Ghetto passion is classics
Been getting lashes for centuries
Aided, but mostly separated by color deficiency
Free to you, free the shackles
My mental strain from my ancestry
[Verse 3]
I feel so tired of the lights
Fill the tank with gasoline
One match to burn these chains with ease
I feel so tired of the lights
Fill the tank with gasoline
One match to burn these chains they weave
[Verse 4]
Emancipation, castration, mass-hating, white washing
Black shaving, patience that I'm demonstrating, uh
Segregation, separation, take my people, chain my people
Ship 'em out, build a nation, picket lines, demonstrations
Kill switch, detonation, this takes dedication
Guess the NBA our reparation
Governmental medication
The reverse of levitation
They put fluoride in our water
Guess they tryna kill our babies
Hearts racing, cops and robbers
Car chasing
[Verse 5]
I feel so tired of the lights
Fill the tank with gasoline
One match to burn these chains with ease
I feel so tired of the lights
Fill the tank with gasoline
One match to burn these chains they weave
[Verse 6]
Whatever your purpose is
Hone in and hold your kids
All this is distractions and nobody notices
Feeble for knowledge, we still in chains
Power tripping for digits
We growing it every day
Fighting for free computers and service for student aid
Can't afford to be sick, we bring more them pills to get paid
Taught to follow the system, the institution be prison
These coppers turn me to zombie
I'm walking dead while I'm living
[Verse 7]
I feel so tired of the lights
Fill the tank with gasoline
One match to burn these chains with ease
[Verse 8]
Break the chain, break the chain
Why the violence is killing our kids
And our brother, man?
Break the chain, break the chain
How police war with no recourse
And you on your way
Break the chain, break the chain
Still identify with those who having nothing
Still live in fear
Break the chain, break the chain
Been distracted by the glamor
But don't question why we even here
[Verse 9]
Break the chain, break the chain
Why the violence is killing our kids
And our brother, man?
Break the chain, break the chain
How police war with no recourse
And you on your way
Break the chain, break the chain
Still identify with those who have nothing
Still live in fear
Break the chain, break the chain
Been distracted by the glamor
Don't question why we even here
