Lyrics

I had a dream about the chains…
and I woke up—
and realized…
they was mental.
Verse 1
I had a dream about the chains—
the chains that hold me back,
the chains that bring me back,
the chains that won’t let me be.
Chain… chain of command.
Chain… gang-of-gang chains.
Link-by-link, law-by-law,
a leash dressed up as “normal.”
Who put these chains on my brain?
Chains. Chains. Chains.
These chains bring me pain—
chains, chains, chains.
No more chains on me (crowd: “No more chains!”)
No more chains on me (crowd: “No more chains!”)
It was only a dream, now I’m free
I’m who I’m meant to be— ’cause I’m me
Verse 2
A chain reaction to the lie.
These chains got me wanting to die.
Chain of custody on my soul,
like my spirit got booked and filed.
But I caught it in the moment—
that voice don’t sound like me.
That’s a program, that’s a loop,
that’s a cage with no key…
’til I speak.
I had dreams of chains…
but it was only a dream.
No more chains on me (crowd: “No more chains!”)
No more chains on me (crowd: “No more chains!”)
It was only a dream, now I’m free
I’m who I’m meant to be— ’cause I’m me
I’m new. I’m free.
It was only a dream—
no more chains on me.
No more chains on me… (crowd: “No more chains!”)
no more chains on me.
No more chains on me… (crowd: “No more chains!”)
No more chains on me… (crowd: “No more chains!”)
It was only a dream…
and I am who I was meant to be.
