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
I hope I got what it takes
