Chain Break

Intro

Uh! WHAT!

Yeah! Dark Man!

Feel me? UH!

Let's go!

Chorus

One more chain to break

One more fear to face

Gotta run my race

Like it's one more dawn to chase

Verse 1

They got me shackled in my mind, tryna hold me down

But the spirit in this pitbull don't bow to no hound

I done walked through flames that shoulda turned me to ash

Seen the reaper in the mirror, but I still talk back

Every link that I break leaves a welt on my wrist

Every night in that cage, yeah, I clenched up my fist

But I snap 'em one by one 'til my palms start to bleed

'Cause a caged dog's only dream is to run free

I wake up with the weight of the world on my chest

I wake up with the devils still camped at my rest

I face the mirror, face the truth, face the lies

They said, "X, stay down, you was bred for the chain"

But I was forged in the furnace where they melt down the steel

So I know what is fake and I know what is real

I hear the angels whisperin', "Keep goin', keep fightin'"

While the demons in the shadows stay bitin' and bitin'

But I run! Even when my lungs start to char

'Cause the only way outta hell is to run through the fire

Chorus

One more chain to break

One more fear to face

Gotta run my race

Like it's one more dawn to chase

Verse 2

I can smell the sulfur before the match even strikes

I can feel the noose loosen when I stand up to fight

Every fracture I earned is a rung on the ladder

Every night that I crumbled just put more gravel in my gut

I don't flinch at the thunder, I become the storm

I don't wait for no shelter, I am the shelter

They want me on my knees, but they don't know I pray standin'

Talkin' to the Man upstairs, demandin' understandin'

"Why the load so heavy? Why they take my dogs 'fore they ever heard my song?"

But He don't answer easy, nah, He make me build the ark

So I stack up the wood, let the rain do its worst

I already drowned once, so I know how to thirst

One more lock, one more door, one more wall to crack

I break chains with my words and I break chains with my back

Chorus

One more chain to break

One more fear to face

Gotta run my race

Like it's one more dawn to chase

Verse 3

I remember every cell, every cage, every fall

I remember havin' nothin' and still givin' my all

Now I run for every brother that ain't here to run with me

I run for every soul that just wants to be free

The fear don't leave, nah, you just learn how to wear it

Turn the devil's ammunition into the blade that I carry

I break chains with my faith, I break chains with my scars

I break chains 'til there ain't nothin' left but grace

And when that sun come up, yeah, I'ma be right there

Hands up, head high, in the fresh morning air

'Cause I earned every ray, every light, every hope

I ran through the fire and I walked through the smoke

So if you see me on that road, don't ask me to slow

I got one more chain to break and one more dawn to know

Bridge

Yeah...

I still got the shackle marks on my ankles...

Feel 'em when it rains...

But I keep runnin'...

The dawn is comin'...

Don't you stop...

Stripped Chorus

One more chain to break

One more dawn to chase

Gotta run my race

Outro

One more...

You feel me?

We don't stop...

We don't break...

We just run...

Ruff! Ruff!

Dark Man X...

Forever...

One more chain...

One more dawn...
