Just take these chains away and set me free. Remove me out of this bondage, then we will all agree. Too long I've been enslaved, I don't wanna be no more. I, would rather dig my grave and be locked behind a door.
I wanna help myself, be an independent man, Lord. I don't want no one to give me no helpin' hand. So whether you're black, whether you're white Seh I don't care a damn, I just want to be all around, yea!
