lyrics

Over there you were a slave
Your head kept under wraps
You weren't allowed to show your face
Men got steak and you got scraps
Then you came here
Even changed your name
But in the end you wound up with more of the same
Tell me who can you blame

Ooo-wee set yourself free
Set yourself free

He used to beat you to a pulp
Left you lying in a heap
No doubt about it you were a victim
And he was a creep
Then you left him
Tried to heal your pain
But the pattern repeated again and again
You gotta break the chain

I know it's not easy
It's as tough as crack
It's hard to get that freakin' monkey
Off your back
Throw off your chains
Here's the key, set yourself free

Sometimes the hurt it runs so deep
You don't know any other way
It makes you be all that you are
It's part of your DNA
It consumes you
It's like a disease
You can't see the big ol' forest for the trees
You gotta get off your knees
