Prison Break

[Intro – Gospel Choir + Spoken Word] [Choir] “Oooooh break these chains… let me rise again…” [Spoken – Male Voice] “Some prisons got no bars… just pain, fear, and silence. But today… I’m walkin’ out.” [Verse 1 – Male Rap Voice] I was stuck in my head like a padded cell, Voices in my skull rang like Sunday bells. Trapped in cycles, no light in sight, Till I sparked that fight in the coldest night. Mirror said “you weak,” I said “watch me lift,” Mind on lockdown - I made that shift. Every scar’s a scripture, every wound a verse, Now I write my freedom in this universe. [Hook – Gospel Choir + Rap Layer] “Break these chains! Open up the gate!” “I was lost, now I elevate!” “No more fear, no more fake…” “This ain’t a song - it’s a prison break!” [Rap Layer – adlibs] We breakin’ out, yeah… Mind over bars, soul over scars. [Verse 2 – Male Rap Voice] Used to drown in the doubt, now I breathe in belief, Used to run from the truth, now I roll with the heat. Not the kind in a clip, but the kind that’ll lift, Every soul that was crushed in a world that’s sick. No keys in my hand, but I cracked that lock, Wasn’t bars - it was thoughts that had me blocked. Now I see through lies like x-ray flame, And I walk like a king through the fire and shame. [Bridge – Call & Response, Gospel + Rap] [Choir] “You got power!” [Rap] Then I use it. [Choir] “You got purpose!” [Rap] I won't lose it. [Choir] “I refuse to hide.” (x2) [Final Hook – Full Gospel + Harmonies + Rap Adlibs] “Break these chains! Open up the gate!” “Rise from pain, now I elevate!” “No more fear, no more fake…” “This ain’t a song - it’s a prison break!” (x2) [Rap Adlibs] This for the locked in minds… The silent cries… You free now… Let it rise.
