[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
