I come from shackles and Chains Riding in the car with my thing Ride around town with my gang You made me this way you made me this way All of my women the same Now I'm buying shackles and chains Riding around with my thing You made me this way you made me this way You work me you whip me you whip me you work me Now you say I'm lazy you killed all my brothers you raped all my mothers And took all our babies And when we keep asking for reparations you just tell us forget it But you made that profit you still making profit cuz you building prisons Cuz you got a system you ain't got to listen but How far you think my people fall before they're risen Look at what you give em Look at what they made of it Whole bunch of early inventions is like they came with it This ain't even half of the song Mr. Colombus was just tagging along We even tagged along with him And to think he said he had the Lord with him All he gave us was genocide My back skin oh you gonna be terrified I come from shackles and Chains Riding in the car with my thing Ride around town with my gang You made me this way you made me this way All of my women the same Now I'm buying shackles and chains Riding around with my thing You made me this way you made me this way I came through shackles and chains Took me from land of the kings I do not know my real name I came to work in the fields and the plains You came with weapons you came on my land All of the things that you claim this is your game You came and messed with my brain There is more to my people than shackles and chains You aint seeing nothing but a new dream nothing but a true dream We gone get it all You aint seeing nothing but a true scene nothing but a new scene We gone get it all You aint seeing nothing but a new dream nothing but a true dream We gone get it all You aint seeing nothing but a true scene nothing but a new scene We gone get it all I come from shackles and Chains Riding in the car with my thing Ride around town with my gang You made me this way you made me this way All of my women the same Now I'm buying shackles and chains Riding around with my thing You made me this way you made me this way You work me you whip me you whip me you work me Now you say I'm lazy You killed all my brothers you raped all my mothers And you took our babies And when we keep asking for reparations you just tell us forget it But you made that profit you still making profit cuz you building prisons You building prisons You still making profit cuz you building prisons You building prisons Still making profit cuz you building prisons Tell me you different Still making profit cuz you building prisons We ain't gone follow the system This a new mission We gone be part of the vision
