Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]I waited all m[F]y life to play[G]
[Em]I still can't find a [Am]way
But if I [F]work it one more [G]day
[Em]I might just break [Am]the chain
[F]I might just break [G]the chain
[Em]I might just break [Am]the chain[F]
[G](Might just [Em]brea[G]k
[Am]the chain)

[Verse 2]
Freedom [Am]We
can use some of that
especially where we from
Where we grew up like a green thumb
It's like a criminal is the only
thing you can become
Look at what I became
Something like a phenom,
nothin' but a g thang
Things I've seen when I'm looking
out of these frames
Pictures I painted on the walls
where we hang
From the trees we hung
Strange [F]fruit man look
at how we swun[G]g
How the hell you gonna tell us something
We ain't have a [Am]father
How to try to grow up and be one
See um feel it in my [F]bones
That I'm sittin' on a throne
Like a [G]killer with a chrome
When I spit another poem
Shed [Am]a whole lot of light on a little bit of home

[Verse 3]
I waited [F]all my life to [G]play
[Em]I still can't find a [Am]way
But if I [F]work it one more [G]day
[Em]I might just break the [Am]chain
I might [F]just break [G]the chain
[Em]I might just break [Am]the chain[F][G]
[Em](Might just break the chain)

[Verse 4]
[Am]Super swatter,
the kid remains but I represent
I ain't no paper planes I'm fly
Plus, I don't write no more,
sorta from the top
I'll show you razor stay sharp
But I knew how to razor blade
I've paid my dues and
now I wait for change
Because the flows so rude
It goes without asking Lupe
I'm so big, you aim to break
Quick to cut off any baggage like some samurai,
[F]I like to travel light
[G]I've gotta leave you at home Delilah,
[Em]this[G] is Sa[Am]msonite
No case for the police
Said I have seen Killah's, I ain't never
seen [F]'em
Ghostface, only thing I'm
[G]watchin' is my Panerai
I've got an alibi
I was taking pics of Chicago
call me camera [Am]shy

[Verse 5]
I waited [F]all my life to [G]play
[Em]I still can't find a [Am]way
But if I [F]work it one more [G]day
[Em]I might just break the [Am]chain
I might [F]just break [G]the chain
[Em]I might just break the [Am]chain
[F](Might just [G]break the
[Em]chai[Am]n)

[Verse 6]
Chain broke, [Am]you ain't make
a rep for your chain smoke
No cigarettes on my plane, yo
Stunt your ham bones
from the game though
Put it on mine, take a long time
B- a- barock is how I'm livin' online
In a webisode like likely so let 'em know
That I put up the footage that
I'm takin' your shine
Wanna see the real change?
Look in your mind
Your brain [F]look like your
Lil Wayne brotha
[G]Overgrow, overload, broken zone
Niggas playing [Am]games in the hood
they got you stuck- up
Playa thinkin' that its cool
to be a pimp still
We gon' set it [F]free like
a fish in a pimp hill
[G]Take this home, rearrange it, change it
Danger, Sway- zer, [Em]Lu pe L[Am]aser
Pow!

[Verse 7]
I waited [F]all my life to [G]play
[Em]I still can't find a [Am]way
But if I [F]work it one more [G]day
[Em]I might just break the [Am]chain
I might [F]just break [G]the chain
[Em]I might just break [Am]the chain[F][G]
[Em]I might just break the chain

[Interlude 1]
[Am][F][G]
[Em][G][Am][F]
[G][Em][G][Am]

[Verse 8]
I waited [F]all my life to [G]play
[Em]I still can't find a [Am]way
But if I [F]work it one more [G]day
[Em]I might just break the [Am]chain
[F]I might just break [G]the chain
[Em]I might just break [Am]the chain[F][G]
[Em]I might just break the chain
[G][Am]
