And I'm in denial, uh

And it don't take no x-ray to see right through my smile

I know

I be on the go, uh

And there ain't no drink out there that can numb my soul

Oh no

And all we wanna do is take the chains off

All we wan do is break the chains off and

All we wanna do is be free

All we wanna do is take the chains off

All we wanna do is break the chains off and

All we wanna do is be free

Can you tell me why

Every time I step outside I see my nıggas die?

Oh, I

I'm lettin' you know

That there ain't no gun they make that can kill my soul

Oh no

All we wanna do is take the chains off

All we wanna do is take the chains off and

All we wanna do is be free

All we wanna do is take the chains off

All we wanna do is break the chains off and

All we wanna do is be free

So now it was like the officer is pulling him inside the car and he's trying to pull away. And at no time the officer said that he was going to do anything until he pulled out his weapon. His weapon was drawn and he said, "I'll shoot you" or, "I'm going to shoot" and in the same moment, the first shot went off. And we looked at him and he was shot and there was blood coming from him, and we took off running—

Are we all alone

Fighting on our own?

Please give me a chance

I don't wanna dance

Something's got me down

I will stand my ground

Don't just stand around

As we took off running I ducked and hid for my life, 'cause I was fearing for my life, and I hid by the first car I saw. My friend, he kept running, and he told me to keep running 'cause he feared for me, too. So as he was running the officer was trying to get out of the car, and once he got out the car he pursued my friend—his weapon was drawn. Now he didn't see any weapon drawn at him or anything like that, us going for no weapon. His weapon was already drawn when he got out the car. He shot again, and once my friend felt that shot, he turned around and put his hands in the air, and started to get down, but the officer still approached with his weapon drawn and he fired seven more shots and my friend died

And all we wanna do is take the chains off

All we wanna do is break the chains off and

All we wanna do is be free

All we wanna do is take the chains off

All we wanna do is break the chains off and

All we wanna do is be free
