WITH CHAINS WAS I BORN by Christopher Napoleon || Ritradio

WITH CHAINS WAS I BORN

With chains was I born 

Into the clumsy hands of slavery

Dead always lurking in the dark

For what was my crime to deserve this

I was only an infant 

I knew not my crime

To be punished this way

Cursed I feel to be a citizen of this land.

So hard I try to break from my bondage.

But knocked down hard was all I got

I looked up to my dad, my mentor

He said all is as it should be

My mother says son bear it all

Over and over again the system screwed me

I feel I lost my virginity 

A prostitute to the system 

Have I become 

Like the eagle shall I rise

And free shall I declare myself 

Loud as thunder shall my voice be

My shackles falling free

No to oppression from my leaders

No to brutality, no to hunger

No to insecurity, no to bad governance

No to injustice and no to corruption

I refused to be silent 

For I will be better and make my homeland better
