CHAINS

[Verse] I had these chains when I was 16 They used to hold me up My brother had the same Due to environments that we struck Them jewels followed me Remnants of that hollow seed built in Silver finish glisten, reminiscing Bout how I had these chains when I was 17 Mindset was moving on to bigger, brighter, better things Vert-adapted teen Bursting at the seams Worsened as it seemed Far too many to flaunt I soon emerged with lesser gleam tho (aye) Vermin steady ratting on they skin folk Mickey Mouse habit turned me addict on this steamboat Paddling Lost some in these waters fetching big fish out of school Praying for my soul, my feet slow That's what I use my knees for These chains, 18 years to a Django These were my confections served to usher different angles Breaking bread but how the cookie crumble in my hand tho If fam was really fam from the get go? (aye) Wool over my eyes and my skin, proving sheep traits Evade, back to ruminant, I kept my teeth straight Braced myself to find indeed chains only held me down And I was one of ’em, this story better told read aloud [Outro] Alright can we take one more? Okay
