Chains

[Intro: Child]

With liberty and justice for all

J-J-J-Justice for all?

[Verse 1: Bibi Bourelly, Usher, Together]

I'mma get mine, you should get yours too

Shooting, shooting, shooting, man them boys always shoot

American dream, American man too

Shooting, shooting, shooting, watch them boys always shoot

And I-I-I-I been so tired of being insecure

So tired of I've had enough running

Running, and running and running and running (Running)

Running, and running and running and running and (Running enough)

Just give it up, I don't give a fuck

I've had enough, Y'all give a fuck? No

Light it on fire, I've had enough

Running, and running and running and running

And running and running and running and

[Hook:  Usher with Bibi Bourelly]

You act like the change, tryna put me in chains

Don't act like you saving us, it's still the same

Man don't act like I made it up, you blaming us

You keep it one hundred, you gave the name to us nigga

We still in chains, we still in chains

We still in chains, we still in chains

We still in chains, we still in chains

We still in chains, you put the shame on us

[Post-Hook: Usher & Bibi Bourelly, Usher]

Naw, naw, naw shame on us, naw

Naw, naw, naw shame on us, naw

Naw, naw, naw, naw, naw

Naw, yeah (Yeah)

[Verse 2: Usher, Bibi Bourelly, Together]

Moment of silence

American school and we in church too (Don't shoot)

Shooting, shooting, shooting, we the prey

Always shoot (Prey)

I'mma be trill, you should be trill too

You don't even gotta talk we just shoot

And I feel so tired of being insecure

Just give it up, don't give a fuck

Light it on fire

[Verse 3: Nas]

Yeah, yo check

I am Sugar Ray Robinson, Booker T. Washington

W. E. B. Du Bois, I'm the modern one

Yelling at Senators, Presidents, Congressmen

We got a problem that needs some acknowledgement

I am no prison commodity, not just a body you throw in a cell

For any reason, just to bother me

Just for your quota, so it's rest in peace to Sean Bell

Sleep in peace Eric Garner (Sandra)

Every street, every corner

Conspiracy, new world order

I spoke to Tamir Rice mom and she told me "be strong"

It won't be long 'til it's justice

They won't have votes but refuse the discussion

On how certain cops they shoot us for nothing

Revolution is coming

[Hook: Usher, Nas, Usher & Bibi Bourelly, Usher & Nas, ~Together~]

You act like the change, tryna put me in chains (The land of opportunity, the land of Unity)

Don't act like you saving us, it's still the same (Brotherhood, trust, America)

Man don't act like I made it up, you blaming us (But you know)

You keep it one hundred, you gave the name to us ~nigga~

We still in chains, we still in chains (Usher, what up my nigga? Ha!; You still in chains?)

We still in chains, we still in chains (You still in chains?; You see these chains?)

We still in chains, we still in chains (I can't see the difference from how we used to be; You see these chains? You see these chains?)

We still in chains, you put the shame on us (Oh, whoa chains)

[Post-Hook: Usher, Bibi Bourelly, Nas, Nas & Bibi Bourelly]

Naw, naw, naw shame on us, naw

Naw, naw, naw shame on us, naw (Shame)

Naw, naw, naw, naw, naw

Naw, yeah (Bow, bow!)

You put the shame on us

[Outro: Usher with Bibi Bourelly]

We still in chains, we still in chains

We still in chains, we still in chains

We still in chains, we still in chains

We still in chains, you put the shame on us
