What's your ball and chain?

And it's all the same

Yeah

[Verse 1]

See I'm independent in bloodline handed down to the ground level

Next generation is nervous hoping they sound settled

Down and they voice change we tried to avoid fame

Started speaking through the blackest void and then the noise came

Avoided certain choices: the business plus the price tag

God is real that's all I know media outlets don't like that

My flight back is sweeter cause I'm headed him now

The flattery is cool kids but try to make your own style

Feel free to emulate the MC when he's dead and gone

Pour yourself a pint and drain it empty with my records on

Put in work in blood and rhymes and climb the upper echelon

I reside the fire inside your eyes and so I'm never gone

Petty crimes committed by the biggest figures misses none

If you sucker rappers want attention then I'll give you some

Never healed it down so hard and heavy while I watch it turn

Still I got a lot to learn (yeah, a lot to learn)

[Hook]

What's your ball and chain? What's your prison cell?

Some wear it on their wrists and ankles, others keep it hidden well

Some keep it Charlie Chaplin, other like to kiss and tell

So what's your ball and chain? So what's your prison cell?

[Verse 2]

See now I'm well aware that they're prepared to lock it down and shut it up

They say silence is golden but still say that they're in love with us

That goes for radio, blogs, labels, and music publishers

I puddle jump, knuckle up and bust em with an uppercut

Lush and green potholes in my lawn are deep and wide

So please don't get close to the edge when you peek inside

This morning I awoke to broken surf and even tides

But when the people quote your rhymes it's the blind leading the blind

My homies think the same as me, we speak and say it differently

The key: they keep it under lock and key and plead the fifth degree

Don't have to like your style, my mans, but keep it interesting

Hours in the day the only single thing that limits me

I'm manCHILD man versus many men in any trend

If I'm not the greatest then please tell me now who is it then?

Watch my win column kicking in to pay some dividends

I broke them chains already; where you been? (where you been?)
