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
