[Chorus: CeeLo Green]

Now that I'm rich

I'm gonna go there and meet him

And pay the price for my freedom

Wouldn't that be nice?

And now that I'm rich

I'm gonna be my slave master's neighbor

I'm gonna sit at the table

Hey, pass the beans and rice

[Post-Chorus: CeeLo Green]

How did we go from whips and chains to whips and chains?

How did we go from whips and chains to whips and chains?

But my car keys can't unlock me

My car keys can't unlock me

Oh (Please worship)

[Verse: Offset]

Fucked up

Everybody know that I fucked it up (Fucked it up)

Man of the house, I wasn't good enough (Good enough)

Pain in the cup, I had filled it up (Pain)

Cookin' up dope, I had cut it up (Cut it up)

Fucked up my past tryna level up (Past)

Addicted to hoes, fucked the family up (Hoes)

But I had to walk around showin' no pain

All in my feelings and they callin' me lame (Lame)

Got a mask on and the mask say shame (Mask)

Brother died then it had broke up gang (Died)

Praying to God the fame don't change (God)

Praying to God that I stay same (God)

'Member the times I was locked in the chains (Chains)

Actin' invisible, part of the game

I got three K's, the Ku Klux Klan (Ha)

Ridin' in the Ghost, got whips and chains (Whips and chains)

Man, I fucked shit off

Then the family got lost (Then the family got lost)

I been prayin' to the cross (I been prayin' to the cross)

I been prayin' to the Lord (I been prayin' to the Lord)

Tryna hear something, everything void (Void)

I been trying, but I keep coming short (I been trying)

Everything my fault, my choice (My fault)

[Chorus: CeeLo Green]

And now that I'm rich (Ha-ha)

I'm gonna date your daughter

And have some grandchildren for you

Yeah, a few of them

And now that I'm rich, ha

And now our family's blended

Knowing you has been splended

But the old days died with him

[Post-Chorus: CeeLo Green]

How did we go from whips and chains to whips and chains?

How did we go from whips and chains to whips and chains?

But my car keys can't unlock me

My car keys can't unlock me

Oh, mhm

[Outro: CeeLo Green]

A cold mind

Is prison

And you are

Locked in it

Mm-mm
