_ _ [Gm] _ _ I've been riding waves, child Guilt through all my [Dm] days, child
How this place [C] was settled The murder [Gm] and the shame
Secrets being exposed, child Truth we must [Bb] uphold, child
Constant fight [C] for justice To pave the way [Gm] for change
Living in denial Going through the same old [Dm] cycle
Penal colony [C] survival Depending on your [Gm] ball and chain
System gonna customize you The man ain't gonna redefine you
Gotta hunt like a [C] nighttime spider Depending on your [Gm] ball and chain _ _ _ _

_ _ _ [Em] I'm a [Gm] survivor Full on empty [Bb] provider
Sometimes you gotta [C] improvise Depending on your [Gm] ball and chain
System gonna customize you The man ain't gonna [Bb] redefine you
Gotta hunt like a [C] nighttime spider Depending on your [Gm] ball and chain
Wisdom from the old school Mixed up [Bb] with the new school
To make up [Am] brand new colors Paint the [Gm] walls of change
Get among, gotta do your time Gotta take it [Bb] in your stride
Gotta make what you can [C] come alive Depending on your [Gm] ball and chain
Every day I lift my spirit up But see my soul is getting [Bb] heavy
[Dm] Pressure on my back and I can barely hold it [C] steady
In a cold world but daily I keep [Gm] sweating Cause I'm vulnerable
Locked in a system that's so deadly And now I'm racing to build a [Bb] foundation
To raise a better life for the younger [C] generation Discrimination, we have to change [Gm] those
And mix up all colors to form a rainbow Cause this ball and chain has incarcerated my [Bb] freedom
Born into the system and wasn't given a [C] reason Same cycle [Bb] continues and follows the same [Gm] sequence
Screaming for a change and it's bringing out inner demons
This ball and chain got me feeling some type of [Bb] way
Ball [Dm] and chain got me feeling like I'm a [C] slave It's like I'm swimming up but an anchor's got me [Gm] drowned
But till I survive to keep alive I gotta pray, pray, pray
If systems are unequal We may [Bb] find the need
To mix up [C] all the colors Break down the [Gm] walls of race
Get among, gotta do your time Gotta take it [Bb] in your stride
Gotta make what you can [C] come alive now Depending on your [Gm] ball and chain _ _ _ _
