Sun Rise Above - Stockhold Syndrome Lyrics
Been in chains I didn't recognize freedomBeen a slave so long, I didn't know it when I seen itBeen in chains I didn't recognize freedomBeen a slave so long, I didn't know it when I seen itNeed an escape, gotta get it bought a lottery ticketProbably isn't a winner but I'm in a poverty prisonAnd desperate, American Dreaming seeming clandestineSo the twenty I just spent is my only investmentThe rest spent on food, rent and other expensesDefenseless, smothered in violence, utterly senselessHence this, entrenched mental state that I been dwelling in hellBeen so long without the sun I'm drained from melanin, stillBurned and frost bit as higher the cost getI lost it, wary, head buried like an ostrichFeather duster, never trust another personThe void worse when, avoid water even when I'm thirstingBeen in chains I didn't recognize freedomBeen a slave so long, I didn't know it when I seen itBeen in chains I didn't recognize freedomBeen a slave so long, I didn't know it when I seen itWouldn't swim to freedom even when I couldThough others often tried, I never would because I'm ossifiedLost a lot living as I'm giving to the worldBut, got nothing but crumbs back, I'm learning to love thatBeen in chains I didn't recognize freedomBeen a slave so long, I didn't know it when I seen itBeen in chains I didn't recognize freedomBeen a slave so long, I didn't know it when I seen itYo Seven, bring the track backYep, I think I heard a shackle snapChain gang, working all day just to maintainThen they pull a Walker Mubarak upon your wagesOutrageous, billions of slaves locked into cagesI may just, bust free with one of these cuff keysKnock off the overseer and so no one's here to bust meEither your with me or you isn'tCan't live inside a prison no more, waiting for visitsI must be free, I see the horizon, a rising sunAnd dying one step away is better than this death decayThis the way, make a move, take us through the exitOur great escape ended while shoveling under fencesBeen in chains I didn't recognize freedomBeen a slave so long, I didn't know it when I seen itBeen in chains I didn't recognize freedomBeen a slave so long, I didn't know it when I seen it
