Break these chains and tear walls down  Break these chains and tear walls down  Break these chains and tear walls down  Break these chains and tear walls down  Don’t call me n*** I’m a Negus King of King’s - Kiss the ring Spare me your terms of endearment Ancient - patient - Ready pon bigger things Pyramids - Now they tryna put our babies inna cages Sacrilege - Pull a linchpin, gas light henchmen Flashlights, Last night Grandma showed me the scars from her dog bite. Never bring a knife to a gun fight blow like Assata tried to pop a copper tried to take away her life Spare me your platitudes We Rude Bwoys, run s* from Favelas to Avenues Boulevards, Barrios, Ghetto Dudes camouflaged Ready fe the battle - Banging on dem m.a.g.a. fools  We came here to claim the crown (Hit the ground ground running / Hit the town gunning) Break these chains and tear walls down (Hit the ground ground running / Hit the town gunning) Now it’s come to this, critical mass, Anonymous mask Smash the glass - Molotov laced with gasoline Pull’em off their pale horse - Tikki torch Who’s replacing their corpse? War hawks chicken hawks clipped wings keep running Now it’s Dread Talks Big smoke - keep gunning Ideas worth spreading Conquering Lion moves the Earth and the Heavens Peace to my Sistrens and Brethrens We came here to claim the crown Break these chains and tear walls down Break these chains and tear walls down Break these chains and tear walls down Break these chains and tear walls down We come here to claim the crown, now break these chains and tears and tear walls down.  Said we rocking and we rocking and we popping and we popping and em can’t even stop us now Say den a wolf inna clothing say dem a burn inna burden say dem a blind in this Kingdom say dem scared in the jungle say dem a go fry in the jungle say dem wan go kick down the jungle   Say we come here to claim the crown (Hit the ground ground running / Hit the town gunning) Break these chains and tear walls down (Hit the ground ground running / Hit the town gunning)

I'm hoping that this line will reach you now It's time for your kind to rise from the freezing Depths of the Peace and Caring zone The parts of your mind referred to as P.C. You cannot live on bread alone There is plenty other fish inside of this sea.. Heartbeats in the waves are bait for you The hammer and the stake is there for me Creation before your eyes, bathed in the light of New days, Shining with the sunrise Beauty you can't describe, Happens in the rays of Life outside. Welcome the sunrise. I made so many promises, broke them all But I will be celebrated in the streets The minute that I break ground on the wall Between common sense and Wisdom Complete with the Lookout's nest and Wired fence, I Know it burns but still I'm asking you to be there for me Come out in the sun, It's my legacy . Good vibes and energy! Creation before your eyes, bathed in the light of New days, Shining with the sunrise Beauty you can't describe, Happens in the rays of Life outside. Welcome the sunrise. Wake up to the sunrise Come out from behind closed doors It might open your eyes You're running from the light no more What can stop the Hate revolution? All their confusion Unfolding in the spotlight. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.. Creation before your eyes, bathed in the light of New days, Shining with the sunrise Beauty you can't describe, Happens in the rays of Life outside. Welcome the sunrise.

about

The Weapons smash through the walls of oppression with their latest EP, Break These Chains. Teaming up with vocal heavyweights Black Shakespeare, Ranking Joe, and MC ZULU, the release combines anthemic vocal performances with bold lyrical expressions of protest, justice and progress against the corrupt systems we are surrounded by.
Drawing from a unique blend of Dub, Reggae, Rap, Funk and Dubstep, all three songs crush the soundsystem with huge dancefloor aesthetics while still taking the ear on a rich musical journey. The catchy hooks at the center of this powerful release will have you raising your fist and chanting along to a message of unabashed rebellion.
