Ever since I was a little baby
  I had 2 have double everything
  When they tell me that's enough
  That's when I wanna fill my cup
  2 the top, Johnny, hear me sing
    CHORUS:
  Emancipation - free 2 do what I wanna
  Emancipation - see U in the purple rain
  Emancipation - free 2 do what I wanna
  Emancipation - break the chain, break the chain
    Ever since that Eve did unto Adam, alright
  What somebody been sho'nuff doin' 2 me (Watch it!)
  I've been tryin' 2 break the chain
  Get my little ass out the game
  I'd rather sing with a bit more harmony, oh
    CHORUS
    Johnny please, huh, when I was on my knees
  My back was broken and my spirit ill at ease
  And now it seems just like the autumn leaves
  Your money's turned from green 2 brown and now U best believe
    CHORUS
    (Emancipation) {repeat in BG}
  Break the chain, oh yeah
  Well, sho'nuff
  See U in the purple rain
  Emancipation - free 2 do what I wanna
  Break the.. break the.. break the chain!
    Hey!
  Alright!
  Hey! {x4}
    Emancipation
  Free - don't think I ain't!
    Emancipation
