| I was on the Chain Gang… Chain Gang, Chain Gang
|
| Always on about the Chain Gang… man, the Chain Gang
|
| That was a hell of a thing
|
| Renaissance Child. |
| dedicated to Nat Turner
|
| A true Maccabean rebel… yo, let me tell ya this story
|
| They had us handcuffed on them sea ships, since the days of Egypt
|
| Now it’s sitting in a racist precent
|
| Black Hebrews from centuries ago, young Negros
|
| With dark skin and afros, who built castles
|
| White halo’s on black Anglo’s, who were sold
|
| Like Joseph, by his own brother, later on, to free his own mother
|
| We only suffer cuz the God love us
|
| Give it to the hands of blood suckers
|
| A lost tribe that was undiscovered
|
| Until the British came and bumrushed us
|
| What you think my desert eagle’s for?
|
| That’s why Moses told Pharaoh, 'let his people go'
|
| Until this day, that same evil grows
|
| From oversears, the Ceasars, the black CO’s
|
| In the prison cell, living hell, naked and cold
|
| You feel the chills when you hear them keyholes
|
| All your freedom get closed, in the end, we all reap what we sow
|
| It go, Deuteronomy 28, verse 48
|
| «We was a chain gang, split up, and brought to these states»
|
| Children of Zion, was choked, by them yokes of Ion
|
| Now they screaming, let bygones be bygones and burnt icons
|
| Before they white washed, everything bronze
|
| Told the Israelites, they took away they right to bare arms
|
| Johnny Hawkins, captured us, and started auctions
|
| Back when cowboy spurs were for birth abortions
|
| Queen Elizabeth, she sponsored and she help fund it
|
| And we was slaughtered like some cattle, that been hunted through the jungle
|
| Kept in dungeons in London in the fifteen hundreds
|
| While they waited for the slaves, the ship Mayflower blundered
|
| Now if a riot was the lies, it’ll still be genocide
|
| Black on black crime, kept us falling behind
|
| Involuntery servitude, had us serving them food
|
| A holocaust of the last jews, they should of been sued
|
| Left our fathers in the solitude, sharper than spoons
|
| On the chain gang singing about poverty blues
|
| It go, chain gang, same things, same faces
|
| Same names, same hell, same flames
|
| Chain gang, chain gang, same names
|
| Same faces, same hell, same flames
|
| There was one thing about the chain gang…
|
| It couldn’t move fast… if it couldn’t move fast
|
| It couldn’t get in trouble…
