Chains

I'm tryna stay ahead of the chase I hope I got what it takes To make it in the same space housing all of these greats They look at me in the face in a confrontational way Make me choose between money, power or stick with the fame I ask is it really safe to go at religion and faith Cos to me it's a case of the old players, new game They tell you this is the way, but you need the key to the gate See, but you gotta pay for the crooked preacher to pray Got you feeling you're saved from the people you should escape Lagos city today, on a boat. I'm drinking Dusse Mind your business, they say, it could get you killed, maybe saved What's the difference from back in the days of masters and slaves Make you work to your grave They keep you locked in a chain Make you wish for a change After work they give you some change My ambition to blow can never be put in a cage My ambition to blow can never be put in a chain Boy I wonder how they keep us knee deep Waist deep Neck deep Now we're stuck in these mind chains Now we're stuck in these mind chains I said we stuck in these mind chains I wonder how they keep us knee deep Waist deep Neck deep Now we're stuck in these mind chains Now we're stuck in these mind chains Now we're stuck in these mind chains Boy I wonder how they keep us knee deep Waist deep Neck deep Now we're stuck in these mind chains Now we're stuck in these mind chains I said we stuck in these mind chains They say the earlier the better better late than never I been asking these questions, but who provides all the answers Who provides education for kids with no good foundation I ain't talking cars and some Jordan's I'm talking breakfast and water Hug and kiss with their mothers A place to sleep, in that order I be damned if these motherfuckers arrest me and ordered The judge to give me some years for teaching their sons and daughters I was troubled and worried because the future was blurry And I was thirty like curry Felt like a joke Martin Lawrence SureBoi God is my witness Keep my weed and my Guinness Got my mind on my business Table reserved for the biggest FUBUs and FILAs The 90's was realer Took the game to No Limits like Percy Miller Call me godfather until I'm great-grandfather Never been the same since my late grandfather My next chapter murfucker Boy I wonder how they keep us knee deep Waist deep Neck deep Now we're stuck in these mind chains Now we're stuck in these mind chains I said we stuck in these mind chains I wonder how they keep us knee deep Waist deep Neck deep Now we're stuck in these mind chains Now we're stuck in these mind chains Now we're stuck in these mind chains Boy I wonder how they keep us knee deep Waist deep Neck deep Now we're stuck in these mind chains Now we're stuck in these mind chains I said we stuck in these mind chains I wonder how they keep us knee deep Waist deep Neck deep Now we're stuck in these mind chains Now we're stuck in these mind chains I said we stuck in these mind chains --- Chains - Mr King
