Sometimes I need to forget where I came from

Just to remember that I'm here at all

Well I believe that it takes one to know one

Guessing the fire by the shapes on the wall.

There ain't no running away

Ain't no fire escape

There ain't no running away

It's in your dna

It's in your dna, you already know.

Release yourself

There's no one else

Until you free yourself

You can't help nobody else

Nobody else, you got the keys

There ain't no running away

It's in your dna, got the keys

There ain't no running away

It's in your dna, got the keys.

Are you in a cage?

Vertical lines throwing stripes on the floor

Are you in chains?

Long helpless nights with your eyes on the door.

There ain't no running away

Ain't no fire escape

There ain't no running away

It's in your dna

It's in your dna, you already know.

Release yourself

There's no one else

Until you free yourself

You can't help nobody else

Nobody else, you got the keys

There ain't no running away

It's in your dna, got the keys

There ain't no running away

It's in your dna, got the keys.

(There's no one else, release yourself)

(In your dna, release your...)

Well sometimes I need to forget where I came from

Just to remember I have somewhere to go

Do you believe that it takes one to know one?

You already know.

Release yourself

There's no one else

Until you free yourself

You can't help nobody else

Nobody else, you got the keys

There ain't no running away

It's in your dna, got the keys

There ain't no running away

It's in your dna, got the keys.

(There's no one else, release yourself)

(In your dna, release your...)
