[Verse 1]

Realest shit that went like this

This shit is classic

West Side where you might get hit

You know it's graphic

Never really had that man

When mama raised me

I was on the [?]

'Cause he had a voice and now the enemy sly

Heard his singing now he looking like the enemy guy

We ride, man it wasn't sweet

And they locked my G, couldn't tweet

Got me feeling like I wasn't on my feet, oh

September in the 6, that's Scarborough

Thinkin' how Imma stay gettin' this bread like hard dough

Sippin on some rivers tryna drown my sorrows

I ain't even tryna think about tomorrow

Flyin' places and they get my head straightened

This some make or break shit

While my niggas in cages

Wasn't really really really outside that time

It ain't pretty, wasn't really outside that time

All my niggas they stay with me I shine, I shine

Niggas they stay with me I shine, I shine

I pray, we pray for better days

[Chorus]

Gold chains over him

Like a star, he shines

With chains over him

But they can't stop time

Gold chains over him

Like a star he shines

With chains over him

But they can't stop time

[Verse 2]

At first there was darkness

[?] is the past tense

Could've broke us apart

But we firmed it regardless

Word to my dogs's

Times we serviced this market

We're eternally scarred

But there's no smooth sailing through hardships

Father, forgive all my sins

I'm just praying your pardons

I've shed real tears for this shit

Danced with serpents and passed them

It's certainly hard

And certainly it'll hurt in my heart

And then we went and flew away when they went burnin' my darg

We was in LA for a month

Real shit, tryna get shit straight while smoking blunts

Real shit, then made Ben' Ova, are you dumb?

I had that 30 on the set, that's on my mum, that on my

But I got two kids now

Why'd you think I can't sit down

Seen the industry switch round, like this now

So it is what it is now

Going out my mind tryna find the signs

Smoking too much, knowing too much

Look it's in my eyes but I'm out here till I die

Gotta read between the lines man

You don't even know the half

God sent us strolling down this path

If it ain't gospel, not a chance

Fuck the gossip while they're watching what is ours

And Grenfell went and dropped me on my arse

Been in real situations

Excuse me while I'm watching for them cars

Got signed the same day, drive by outside the yard

Dou3le 3ak you missed the stars

Welcome to this little thing of ours

[Chorus]

Gold chains over him

Like a star, he shines

With chains over him

But they can't stop time

Gold chains over him

Like a star he shines

With chains over him

But they can't stop time

[Outro]

When we put the video out, it was because, you know

We knew it made us corny, and you know...

Y'all had y'all separate meeting and felt like y'all was cold

Hell no, we didn't feel it, we knew it. It was like, it was like...

Oh, that shit look... we got... the shit was whack!

It wasn't us, it was us tryin' to be like them, and it was obvious, the shit was whack

So you know it, that shit happens, so what? Now we goin' double back, just so they know we're not the shiny suit niggas
