Set Me Free Lyrics

Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance
I just wanna praise Ya (whoa, whoa, whoa)
I just wanna praise Ya

Shackles on my feet, yeah
They won't let me be
Won't you set me free?
Break this hold on me
Shackles on my feet
Oh, they won't let me be
Won't you set me free
Break this hold on me
Break this hold on me

Let me go (let me go)
Let me go
I been going through so much
I swear these people at my throat
That's on me
That's on mamas (that's on mamas)
On my mama
I can't take no more
So miss me with that drama
Get your commas, get your racks straight
Get your facts straight
Hold me down, I rise up on 'em like the tax rate, huh (I do)
Keep my path straight
Never lack faith
God been working, they gon' have to hold me back, man
Ay, tell 'em (tell 'em, tell 'em)

You can pick a side if you wanna (wanna)
You already know who I roll with (roll with)
You don't want no problems with me (with me)
Get these shackles off of my feet

Shackles on my feet, yeah
They won't let me be
Won't you set me free
Break this hold on me
Break this hold on me

I got them shackles off my feet, yeah, yeah
Can't put me back up in them streets, yeah, yeah
I couldn't move but now I'm free yeah, yeah
I got them shackles off my feet yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Down for me
Down for me
People left me, You was round for me
Round for me
All the bitterness and anger, had to let it go
People talking down on me
I guess that's how it go
Let 'em know
That's on me, yeah
Shackles on my feet
You broke the hold and now I'm free, yeah
Even in the darkest times
You kept Your light on me, yeah
Got the memo, read the message
Found my purpose, found my method
Only L I took was lessons, tell 'em

You can pick a side if you wanna (wanna)
You already know who I roll with (roll with)
You don't want no problems with me (with me)
Get these shackles off of my feet

Shackles on my feet, yeah
They won't let me be
Won't you set me free?
Break this hold on me
Break this hold on me

I got them shackles off my feet yeah, yeah
Can't put me back up in them streets yeah, yeah
I couldn't move but now I'm free yeah, yeah
I got them shackles off my feet yeah, yeah

I got them shackles off my feet yeah, yeah
Can't put me back up in them streets yeah, yeah
I couldn't move but now I'm free yeah, yeah
I got them shackles off my feet yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
