james cook - chains in my soil كلمات أغنية

chains in the soil”

verse 1
dragged from the motherland, sun in my eyes
shackled my soul, but my spirit don’t die
name torn away, now i’m just “boy”
but i carry kings in my blood, not toys
middle passage—waves like fists
prayers in the dark, can’t slit these wrists
chained at the ankle, pain in the breath
but i still hum hope in the mouth of death

hook (sung or chanted)
chains in the soil, roots run deep
buried in the cotton but i still speak
drums in my chest, can’t silence my beat
you stole my body but my soul won’t sleep

verse 2
fields like a grave, sun burnin’ rage
back got lashes that never made the page
they don’t teach this pain in schoolbooks
they don’t feel the fire when they give that look
but i walk with ghosts in my shadow
they whisper truth when i crack that barrel
they thought they broke us, bent our spine
but look—my rhythm still reclaims time
bridge (spoken word style)
i am not your slave—i am the storm
born from ashes where blood was worn
every seed you buried grew back strong
you fed the roots, and we made a song

hook (repeat)
chains in the soil, roots run deep
buried in the cotton but i still speak
drums in my chest, can’t silence my beat
you stole my body but my soul won’t sleep

outro (soft, layered harmonies with traditional african humming)
mmm… still we rise
from the dust, to the skies
i am the seed… i am the flame…
say my name… say my name…
