Chapter 126 Video (MV)

[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
Reason that 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:]
Freedom, Freedom, Freedom, ooh
Freedom, don't want to
Freedom (freedom), Freedom, ooh
Freedom, ooh
Mentally and Spiritually
HUMMM (freedom)

Hold your hands up high (freedom)
All the way to the sky (freedom)
If you wanna be free (I want freedom)
Sing along with me (freedom)
South Africa, Namibia, (freedom)
Kenya, Ethiopia, (freedom)
Ghana, Zambia (I want freedom)
I feel your pain, feel your pain (freedom)
Pyramids of Egypt (freedom)
Show some love, that's the way to live (freedom)
FREEDOM! (I want freedom)
Hold your head up because (freedom)
Apartheid is over (freedom)
Hey! yes it is (freedom)
We can go (I want freedom) where we wanna go from now on (freedom),

Free to go where I wanna go (freedom)
Free to say what I wanna say (freedom)
Free to have (I want freedom) what I wanna have
I want, I want (freedom)
Free to live where I wanna live (freedom)
Free to give what I wanna give (freedom)
Free to go where (I want freedom) I wanna go
I want, I want (freedom)
Free to have a baby boy (freedom)
Free to have a baby girl (freedom)
Free to raise my (I want freedom) family
Free to travel the world
