I waited all my life to play
I still can't find a way
But if I work it one more day
I might just break the Chain [x3]
[Verse 1]
Freedom, we could use some of that especially where we from
Where we grew up like a green thumb
Its like a criminal, the only thing you can become
Look at what I became, something like a phenom. Nothin but a G thang
Things I've seen when I'm looking out of these frames
Pictures I painted on the walls where we hang
From the trees we hung
Strange fruit man look at how we swung
How the hell you gonna tell us something
We ain't have a father, how to try to grow up and be one
See umm feel it in my bones
That I'm sittin on a throne like a killer with the chrome
When I spittin of the poem
Shed a whole lot of light on a little bit of home
Bow!
[Chorus - Eric Turner]
I waited all my life to play
I still can't find a way
But if I work it one more day
I might just break the Chain [x3]
[Verse 2 - Sway]
Super Swah, the cape remains,
thought I was M.I.A no paper? - Planes
I'm fly plus I don't write no more
its all off of the top I shaved the braids
And stayed sharp mother knew how to raise-a-blade (Razor Blade)
[Chorus - Eric Turner]
I waited all my life to play
I still can't find a way
But if I work it one more day
I might just break the Chains[x3]
I paid my dues now I wait for change
and the flows so rude it goes without... *Saying*
Ask Lupe I'm Sucre, I aid the Break
Ask Lupe I'm Sucre, I aid the Break
Quick to cut off any baggage like some samurai I like to travel light
I gotta leave you at home Delilah,
this is Sampson Night (Samsonite)
No case for the police
No case for the police
said I know Killah's I never seen 'em, Ghostface
only time I'm watching is my Panerai
I've got an alibi I was in Chicago taking pics, call me Camera Chi (Shy)
[Chorus - Eric Turner]
I waited all my life to play
I still can't find a way
But if I work it one more day
I might just break the Chains[x3]
[Verse 3 - Lupe]
Chain broke
You ain't make a rep for your chain smoke
No cigarrettes on my plane yo
Stunt your ham bones from the game though
Put it on mine, take a long time
B.A. Barracus is how I'm livin online
In a webisode like let's go let 'em know
That I put up the footage that I'm takin' your shine
Wanna see the real change? Look in your mind
Your brain look like your ? brotha
Overgrow, overload, broken zone
Niggas playing games in the hood they got you sucka
Playa thinkin that its cool to be a pimp still
We gon set it free like a fish in a pimp hill
Take this home, rearrange it, change it
Danger, Sway-zer, Lupe, Laser
Pow!
[Chorus - Eric Turner]x2
I waited all my life to play
I still can't find a way
But if I work it one more day
I might just break the Chains[x3]
Chain broke
You ain't make a rep for your chain smoke
No cigarrettes on my plane yo
Stunt your ham bones from the game though
Put it on mine, take a long time
B.A. Barracus is how I'm livin online
In a webisode like let's go let 'em know
That I put up the footage that I'm takin' your shine
Wanna see the real change? Look in your mind
Your brain look like your ? brotha
Overgrow, overload, broken zone
Niggas playing games in the hood they got you sucka
Playa thinkin that its cool to be a pimp still
We gon set it free like a fish in a pimp hill
Take this home, rearrange it, change it
Danger, Sway-zer, Lupe, Laser
Pow!
[Chorus - Eric Turner]x2
I waited all my life to play
I still can't find a way
But if I work it one more day
I might just break the Chains[x3]
Can someone please help me with this song? The only thing I know about it is that its about breaking social norms or something along those lines. But, I have no idea what Lu is talking about in the third verse really. First verse I understand pretty well, but can someone explain some of this song?
ReplyDelete"Chain broke
You ain't make a rep for your chain smoke
No cigarrettes on my plane yo
Stunt your ham bones from the game though"
Who or what is he talking about?
This is what im hearing on the first few lines of the last verse" Chain broke, heres some nicorette for your chain smoke, no cigarettes on my plane yo, snatching herring bones from the games throat". I believe that def makes more sense and im positive its not ham bones lol. A herring bone is a type of necklace.
ReplyDeleteMy boy caught this next part and it was a real nice catch. good shit Dmeiss!
"Wanna see the real CHAINS look in your mind, your brain look like KEENEN WAYANS brotha, OVERGOLD(OG), overload, broken souls,
Niggas playing games in the hood they got you SUCKA"
In the movie "Im gonna get you sucka" starring Keenen Wayans, his brother died of an overdose from wearing to much gold. They called the cause of death OG which stands for Overgold. When they showed his brothers dead body he was almost fully covered in gold. So with these parts it should help you get a better understanding of what he is trying to explain in this verse.
Wow my boy just caught this to "Playas think it's cool to be a pimp still, we gone set it free like fish in a pimp HEEL". Another im gonna get you sucka ref, plus a major pimp ref... Im gonna need illumnation to change these lyrics. Come on i count on yall. You still got "dont need 48 you'll find a killa on the first floor"!? Are you serious. Lets go lupe fans and get these lyrics right!
