[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
