CHAIN gang

Pardon me if this is cynical
I know that this isn't my usual hype
My patience is taking a flight
Seeing the views that I'll never see
Cause all that I ever see on the screen
Is ignorant people with nothing to bring to me
They telling me stop all that smiling
I laugh in they face cause it don't mean a thing to me
Wow
Cam you gotta slow down
People miserable
They only goal is snatching your crown
Late nights hear the ghosts of slaves chant in my town
The price for my life getting bagged by the pound
I miss the days
When I was safe outside my home
Turn on the news
A couple kids aint make it home
Due to rapists or the killers or our very own government
Profits tied to crime so they never gonna govern it
My speech impediment is that I don't tell lies
A foreign language used to strip the wool from over your eyes
It's funny no one know your name during the years that you tried
But you a world wide star from the minute that you die

Chains gon clink as long as eyes gotta blink
Chains gon clink as long as minds gotta think
Chains gon clink as long as rappers bleed ink
And Earth need peace like black men need shrinks
It's the truth
Just a number to the man in the suit
Just a number to the man in the suit
Just a number to the man in the suit
We just a number to them

They back outside
Like nothing's changed
Blacked out rides
When they snatching chains
They take lives
But they don't explain
The cycle of hate
They just fanning the flames
You kill mine
I kill yours
You kill mine
I kill yours
You kill mine
I kill yours
You kill mine
I kill yours
How many people do they gotta kill
At this point they don't wanna understand it
Yeah
The more you know the worse you gonna feel
Some respect what I'm finally demanding
Yeah
How many people do they gotta kill
At this point they don't wanna understand it
Yeah
The more you know the worse you gonna feel
Some respect what I'm finally demanding
Yeah

Chains gon clink as long as eyes gotta blink
Chains gon clink as long as minds gotta think
Chains gon clink as long as rappers bleed ink
And Earth need peace like black men need shrinks
It's the truth
Just a number to the man in the suit
Just a number to the man in the suit
Just a number to the man in the suit
We just a number to them

Chain chain go away
Don't come back another day
Chain chain go away
Don't come back another day
Chain chain go away
Don't come back another day
Chain chain go away
Don't come back another day
