Break the Chains

Verse 1 Yo, they feed us lies in the headlines, pullin' the strings, We’re marionettes, playin' their games, never knowin’ the things. Government puppets, they smile in our face, While the truth gets buried, erased without a trace. Media’s a maze, they twist and they spin, Distract and divide, let the chaos begin. You think it's freedom, but it’s all a facade, A system designed to break us, it’s deeply flawed. Education’s a cage, filled with tests and rules, They teach us how to conform, turn us into tools. Real lessons are in the streets, where the struggle’s real, But they keep us locked up, so we can’t make the deal. Pre-Chorus Wake up, rise up, don’t let ‘em take control, Break free from the shackles, reclaim your soul. They profit from division, keep us in the dark, But knowledge is power — ignite that spark. Verse 2 They sell us fear, sell us hate, sell us confusion, Keep us blinded by the lies, caught in illusion. You hear ‘em talk about unity, but that’s all a scheme, To divide us and conquer, to chase the American dream. See, they fear the truth, that’s why they keep us apart, A united front would tear their whole system apart. They control the narrative, make us think we’re free, But we’re just prisoners of a corrupt reality. They want us pacified, they want us to bow, But the revolution’s coming — we’re takin’ the vow. We’ll question their lies, reject all the hate, They built this system, now we’re challenging fate. Chorus Manipulate the masses, keep us in line, But they fear a united front, it's our time to shine. So question the narrative, don’t swallow the bait, We’re the revolution, let’s challenge our fate. Verse 3 They gave us borders, fed us wars, kept us in a box, Tell us who to trust, and who to hate, playin’ the paradox. Give us just enough to survive, but never thrive, Keep us chasin’ scraps, while they feast on our lives. They sold us the dream — success, wealth, fame, But it’s just a game where only they win the same. They control the media, divide us by race, Tell us what to wear, and how to know our place. They use the schools, the media, the tech in our hands, To steer our thoughts, manipulate all our plans. Make us think we’re free, when we’re really enslaved, The system’s rigged, and they’ve got us all paved. Pre-Chorus Wake up, rise up, don’t let ‘em take control, Break free from the shackles, reclaim your soul. They profit from division, keep us in the dark, But knowledge is power — ignite that spark. Verse 4 They try to keep us dumb, give us medication to cope, Mask our problems with pills, killin' our hope. You feel that pressure? That’s the system at work, Suppressin' your voice, pullin' you deeper in the dirt. We’re told to fit in, follow trends and be blind, But there’s power in the struggle, it’s time we redefine. Don’t be afraid to question, don’t be afraid to rise, Expose the system’s lies, and open your eyes. They profit from our silence, they profit from our fear, But we’re the change they fear most — and it’s clear. We’ll speak the truth, break the chains that they’ve made, Rise up, take control — it’s time to invade. Chorus Manipulate the masses, keep us in line, But they fear a united front, it's our time to shine. So question the narrative, don’t swallow the bait, We’re the revolution, let’s challenge our fate. Bridge We’re not the puppets, we’re not the fools, We’ll tear down their walls, break all their rules. The system is corrupt, it’s built on lies, But we’ll rewrite the truth, and watch it rise. Outro So wake up, rise up, don’t stay in their trance, The revolution’s ours — now let’s take a stand and dance. This system’s broken, but we hold the key, Together, we rise — we’re finally free.
