(Urthboy & Solo) Deck the halls, paint the town Everybody get your people up, gather round Not bound to no one, contract to no thing Contract to no thing, you got to know things This the sound to walk away, you walk away Today you pop the cork and say I’m out, I’m gone, even before the song Whether or not, uh, any of you come along You won’t hear a gong of departure I am not the arrow to your wannabe archer (your wannabe archer) And I won’t be frog marched to your rut, I am not your pup so keep up Catch me in no man’s land, never yes man’s land Understand what I rep man I’ll take back my liberty Cos I had this epiphany You break them shackles, them shackles, them shackles You break them shackles, them shackles, them shackles (Jane & Solo) I really like your motto The part where I just follow The bitter pill That I’m supposed to swallow With my feet in irons Narrowed my path Gave me a focus Somewhere to start You must break them You break them shackles, them shackles, them shackles You break them shackles, them shackles, them shackles (Urthboy, Jane & Solo) Call your family and friends Tell em that the saga ends it’s all done We will celebrate with them Yo we’re not to be outdone And what it is to be undone to be unlocked to be free Free from the cramped Stamped and dated and emancipated The mandate that won’t be faded I feel like cutting loose Against my better caution Eradicate that distortion And it feel awesome. Let me just stretch my arms Stretch my legs, kneecaps feet and head No thing can be compared, can be compared When we leave that there for dead
