Chapter 126 Lyrics by Tyrese

Chapter 126

Tyrese spoken voice:
[hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...]
Yeah, I wanna dedicate this song
to Africa and 126, let's go
[oooooooooooooooh...]
I come to you humble and grateful
For my freedom
Not only freedom physically but freedom of the mind
And freedom of my Spirit
in Jesus name, Amen

Verse 1:
Don't leave me out cause I'm black
Don't leave me out cause I'm white
Leave me cause I'm treating you wrong
when I'm supposed to treat you right [ooh]
Don't leave me out in the cold
Treat me like I'm 12 years old
Visitor, I'm from Africa
And I can stand wherever I want [ooh]

I can see it so clearly
Soon as I stare in your eyes
Yeah you're making more money than me
That don't mean I'm not qualified
I wake up every morning [I wake up]
With a smile on my face [smilin']
Thanking the Lord for giving me
Another opportunity to feed my family, ooh aah

First I try to come up
And you hold me down
First you let me in
Then you kick me out
Can somebody tell me
What is a man to do?
Everyday I pray to the man above
Can he stop the hate and show me some love
Turn to Chapter 126, all she wanted for us was

[chorus]
Freedom, Freedom, Freedom, ooh
Freedom, don't want to
Freedom, oooh Freedom, oooh Freedom, oooh
[oooooooooooooh...]
Mentally and Spiritually
HUMMMMMMMMMM...

Tyrese Spoken voice:
We thank Mandela and everyone whose
Contributed to the freedom of Africa
Without you where would we be?
Come on

Verse 2:
Soon as you try to say no [no]
I'm coming right back to say yes [yes]
You're giving me fuel to my fire
Another reason to pump my fist, ooh
You make so much money off us [off us]
In return you don't show us no love [no love]
In movies, documentaries still
hungry kids all in the streets, ooh

I wake up every morning
with a smile on my face [smilin']
Thanking the Lord for givin' me another opportunity
to feed my family, first I

First I try to come up
then you hold me down
First you let me in, then you kick me out
Can somebody tell me, what is a man to do?
Everyday I pray to the man above
Can he stop the hate and show me some love
Turn to page and chapter 126
Cause all she ever wanted was

[chorus]
