Crux

[Verse 1: MIKE]

Ay, ay

I was in graves then, couldn't take a day off

Days in, ain't you tryna take off?

It didn't make sense but I had to stay calm

Nah, you didn't face shit, I was facin' A-, uh

Watch my face fall like I faced off

I keep pushing if a Jake talk

I’m always moving, love to Jay-walk

Praying for tomorrow, what today for

I be playin' 'cause I’m 'bout it, I don’t take score

Lotta niggas shaped, I never fake for it

Plus it make the day short, wake me to a grey morning

Sister talking to the judge, they took my poppa to the same court

You was the plug, I had to change cords

Eighteen, I felt strange for us

You niggas dated

[Chorus: MIKE]

This an acclaimed sport, why I keep my chain on

Shit to give me faith for, many brothers brains lost

Lost up in the game

Ever since the rain come shit ain't been the same

That's why I keep my chain on

Shit to give me faith, many brothers brains lost

Lost up in the game

Ever since the rain come shit ain't been the same

That's why I keep my chain on

Shit to give me faith, many brothers brains lost

Lost up in the game

Ever since the rain come shit ain't been the same

That's why I keep my chain on

That's why I keep my chain on

He climbed an impossible vertical wall

Shit to give me faith

[Verse 2: Wiki]

Right here, right? Y'heard (Yeah)

Keep my chain on, when the rain come

My chain gold so my chain good

Keep my faith strong

Gotta take on, life face on

Hide face from the wild fake ones

Style making, sly snaking

The child Satans running round, this a wild nation

Gotta smile but denial chasing

'Long as you aware, be prepared to be lying naked

You just awoke up from your dream and you tryn' face it

But it's quite clear, woke up to the nightmare

Thinkin' back, coulda sworn, was right there

Sittin' back in your night chair

Aight yeah, remember the times

Rain came, we all jetted inside

But you stayed, got drenched and just dried up in the sun

Water, rain, comes

Yeah, I changed, but I always kept my chain on

[Outro]

He climbed for nearly two hours, just to reach the base of the climb (Yeah, yeah)

Do you feel the adrenaline now?

Does the challenge appeal to you?

If he moved too slowly, his arms would give out

But if he rushed, he could slip and fall (Yeah)
