No Chains on Sha Sha

Lil Sha Sha

[Intro]
[metal chain clanks, siren synth, crushing 808 drop]
Yeah
Lil Sha Sha
Take a good look
Ain’t nothing holding me now

[Hook]
No chains on Sha Sha, I broke out clean
God came through and interrupted the scene
No chains on Sha Sha, I’m living redeemed
What had me locked up can’t reach me

No chains on Sha Sha, hands in the sky
I walked through the fire and came out alive
No chains on Sha Sha, freedom on sight
Whom the Son sets free got a whole new life

[Verse 1]
I had habits on me like cuffs too tight
Kept saying, “I’m done,” then went back every night
Had guilt in my ear trying to run my life
But grace hit hard and exposed that lie

I was loyal to pain, addicted to chaos
Held onto people God told me to shake off
Every red flag had a face I could name
Still went back thinking love meant pain

Then I got tired of losing my peace
Tired of making excuses for grief
I hit my knees and surrendered the keys
God opened the door and told me, “Leave”

So I left that room, left that cycle
Left that version of me in survival
Now every step got purpose beside it
No chain strong enough when the Lord untied it

[Pre-Chorus]
Break it off
Let it fall
That old life
Don’t fit at all

Close the door
Lose the key
I belong
To victory

[Hook]
No chains on Sha Sha, I broke out clean
God came through and interrupted the scene
No chains on Sha Sha, I’m living redeemed
What had me locked up can’t reach me

No chains on Sha Sha, hands in the sky
I walked through the fire and came out alive
No chains on Sha Sha, freedom on sight
Whom the Son sets free got a whole new life

[Verse 2]
I don’t owe my past another conversation
I don’t need closure from manipulation
I don’t need approval from the same location
Where I lost my joy and my concentration

Every bondage don’t come with a lock
Some come dressed like love and talk real soft
Some say, “You need me,” then drain what you got
But the Spirit showed me what was from God

Now I move different, boundaries strong
I don’t feel bad when I tell wrong, “Gone”
I can forgive and still move on
Freedom ain’t weak, it’s knowing what’s wrong

Isaiah sixty-one, liberty loud
Beauty for ashes, I wear that proud
They thought the old me would stay underground
But God said, “Rise,” so I shook that ground

[Breakdown]
[chain snaps, beat drops to stomps and claps]

No chain on my mind
No chain on my feet
No chain on my future
No chain on me

No chain from fear
No chain from shame
No chain from people
Misusing my name

Break
Break
Break that hold

Free
Free
Body and soul

[Bridge]
I hear the locks falling
I hear the doors move
I hear heaven calling
Saying, “Walk in the new”

I hear the chains hitting
The floor one by one
The old life is finished
The new life begun

[Final Hook]
No chains on Sha Sha, I broke out clean
God came through and interrupted the scene
No chains on Sha Sha, I’m living redeemed
What had me locked up can’t reach me

No chains on Sha Sha, hands in the sky
I walked through the fire and came out alive
No chains on Sha Sha, freedom on sight
Whom the Son sets free got a whole new life

[Outro]
[distorted choir chant over fading bass]

No chains
No chains
No chains on Sha Sha

Free walk
Free mind
Free praise
New life

Lil Sha Sha
No chains
