[Verse 1]

Ever since I was a little baby

I had to have double everything

When they tell me that's enough

That's when I want to fill my cup

To the top, Johnny, hear me sing

[Chorus]

Emancipation: free to do what I want to

Emancipation: see you in the purple rain

Emancipation: free to do what I want to

Emancipation: break the chain, break the chain

[Verse 2]

Ever since that Eve did unto Adam, alright

What somebody been sure enough doing to me

(Watch it!)

I've been trying to break the chain

Get my little ass out the game

I'd rather sing with a bit more harmony, oh

[Chorus]

Emancipation: free to do what I want to

Emancipation: see you in the purple rain

Emancipation: free to do what I want to

Emancipation: break the chain, break the chain

[Bridge]

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 to brown and now you best believe

[Chorus]

Emancipation: free to do what I want to

Emancipation: see you in the purple rain

Emancipation: free to do what I want to

Emancipation: break the chain, break the chain, break the chain

Break the chain, oh yeah

Well, sure enough

See you in the purple rain

Emancipation: free to do what I want to

Break the, break the, break the chain!

[Outro]

Hey!

Alright!

Hey!

(Emancipation)

Hey!

(Emancipation)

Hey!

(Emancipation)

Hey!

(Emancipation)

Hey!

(Emancipation)

(Emancipation)

Free, don't think I ain't

(Emancipation)
