[Intro: Dave Okumu]
Prison
Prison
Prison
Prison
[Verse 1: Dave Okumu]
Know what it's like to live your life in prison
Find a tear, born and raised in a prison
[Refrain: Wesley Joseph & Dave Okumu]
Shackles are shakin' (Shackles are shakin')
Shackles are shakin'
Shackles are shakin' (Slow, slow, slow, slow)
Shackles are shakin' (Them shackles on your bones)
Shackles are shakin' (On your bones)
Shackles are shakin'
[Post-Refrain: Wesley Joseph & Dave Okumu]
I was born and raised in prison
(Built your wealth on the backs of the enslaved)
I was born and raised in prison
(Built your wealth on the backs of the enslaved)
[Verse 2: Wesley Joseph & Dave Okumu]
Shake them shackles
Fight the battle (Fight the battle)
When the light confers (Lights)
Well, it doesn't reach me (Down in the hall)
Drif-drift to see
[Chorus: Wesley Joseph]
None of us know a world without pain (Without pain, [?])
Built your wealth on the backs of the enslaved, the enslaved
[Verse 3: Wesley Joseph]
Light, light, light confers
Now I'm looking for wisdom
Gonna heal myself (Heal myself)
No, we're not swell
Now I wanna speak, different modality
I see myself in a pool of blood (Yeah, real love)
[Pre-Chorus: Dave Okumu & Wesley Joseph]
(Fight, fight, fight) For survival
(Fight, fight, fight) For your love
(Fight, fight, fight) For your right ([?])
[Chorus: Wesley Joseph & Dave Okumu]
None of us know a world without pain (Fight for survival)
(Fight, fight, fight) For your real love
Built your wealth on the backs of the enslaved (For your love)
Backs of the enslaved (For your love)
[Post-Chorus: Wesley Joseph]
Shake them shackles
(Shackles are shakin', shackles are shakin')
[Verse 3: Dave Okumu]
Know these things do
Go deep, go deep
Deep to the core below
[Pre-Chorus: Wesley Joseph]
Fight, fight, fight for survival
Fight, fight, fight for your real love
Fight, fight, fight for survival
Fight, fight, fight for your real love
[Chorus: Wesley Joseph]
None of us know a world without pain (Shackles are shakin')
Built your wealth on the backs of the enslaved
[Post-Chorus: Wesley Joseph]
Fight for your life, fight for survival (Fight, fight)
Fight, fight, fight for survival (Fight, fight, fight)
Fight, fight, fight for survival (Fight, fight, fight)
Fall for the real love
Yeah, real love
[Chorus: Wesley Joseph]
None of us know a world without pain
(No, blacked in the farm, blacked in the breeze
Yeah, blacked with the sea)
Built your wealth on the backs of the enslaved
(Blood, blood, bloodshed in love)
[Outro: Dave Okumu & Wesley Joseph]
Shake them shackles
Make them rattle
Shake them shackles ([?])
Make them rattle
Shake them shackles (Shackles are shakin')
Make them rattle (Shackles are shakin')
Shake them shackles (Shackles are shakin')
Make them rattle
Make them rattle
Fight, fight, fight for survival
For your real love
Shackles are shakin'
Fight, fight (Your life)
Fight for survival
Fight for your real love
Fight, fight, fight for survival (Shackles are shakin')
Fight for the wild
Shackles are shakin'
Shackles are shakin'
Combine in a star, fight
Ending real lies that you hold high
Shackles be shakin'
