Jailbreak jailbreak
Jailbreak jailbreak

I'm unbelievable I got a hair trigger
From people calling me a grease ball nigger
Society done fucked up my psyche
Should I rock
My adidas my reeboks or my nikes
Am I black or am I white
Am I wrong cause my trouble ass like to fight
I'm breakin up out of this bitch tonight
Running hard no holds barred to daylight.

The anguish of the world is on my tongue
Visions of ancestral tongues hung
I hold the retaliation apparatus
Born wit a strain on my brain
So I go against the grain

Jailbreak jailbreak
It's your mistake 10 more yards
And I'll be straight
Jailbreak jailbreak

Ice jason - chuck d - professor griff
You can't stop us - confrontation camp -
You can't stop us
Chaingang - jailbreak - chaingang
You can't stop us

Who's the real threat
But they can't intervene
The changing of the guard
Is the chaingang theme
I'll check your pulse
Fuck retaliation
This is the next x-generation
Of confrontation

I hear you talking
But what you gonna do?

You can't stop us
A yo we moppin the competition
With vital incisions applied with
The utmost accuracy and deadly precision
Ooo we got em on the ropes
We changing the silhouette in that scope
Who's the enemy now...........pow

So who the fuck are you
So who the fuck are you
Do you feel like I do?
No, I don't feel like you do
We had to do what we had to do
To get what we gotta get
And now we got what we got
A battle getting hot
A war tell me what the fuck
Am I fightin for
Expressway to your skullway
Damn, or get the highway
Feel the whole earth movin under




My feet see the sky tumblin down
Tumblin down
