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
