[J. Cole - Chaining Day lyrics]
Look at me, pathetic nigga
This chain that I bought
You mix greed, pain and fame
This is heinous result
Let these words be the colors
I'm just paintin' my heart
I'm knee deep in the game and
It ain't what I thought
Copped a Range Rover
My girl got the Mercedes
Iced out crazy, I wanna shine like Baby
Compared to that nigga I ain't
Even got a bib yet
Truth be told I ain't even bought a crib yet
This is everything they told a
Nigga not to do
Image is everything I see, it got a lot to do
With the way people perceive
And what they believe
Money short so this jewelry is like a weave
Meant to deceive and hear niggas say
"I see you" now bitches wanna fuck you and
Niggas wanna be you
And police wanna stop you, frisk you
Wonder what he do?
If a hater snatch your chain
I bet it still won't free you
'Cause, I be right back grinding
'til I cop another
I sit and think about all this
Shit I coulda copped my mother
My partner said, "That's just the game
My nigga" swear I heard my jeweler say
"Here go your chain my nigga"
This is chaining day
I need you to love me
(Chaining day) , love me (Oh
My chaining day) i need you to love me
(My chaining day) , love me
My last piece, I swear
My guilt heavy as this piece I wear
(Love me, love me, hey hey)
They even iced out Jesus' hair
My last piece, I swear (Love me, love me)
They even iced out Jesus' hair
Ice on this white Jesus seem a little unholy
The real strange thing about
This iced out Roley
It's the same shit a broke
Black nigga get gassed at
Same shit a rich white motherfucka' laugh at
Well laugh on white man, I ain't paid as you
But, I bet your rims ain't
The same age as you
And I ain't got no investment portfolio
But my black and white diamonds
Shinin' like a Oreo
I know back home a nigga sick today
He rock a chain and he always
Got some shit to say
Even back when I was broke I
Knew his shit was fake
He'd probably sneeze too hard and
His shit could break
But hey you know the sayin'
"Fake it 'til you make it"
Me, I did the opposite
Made it then I faked it
And acted like I gave a fuck
Money I was savin' up
To buy a crib that's gated
To that hundred racks, i gave it up
For what?
I need you to love me
(Chaining day) , love me (Ohh
My chaining day) i need you to love me
(My chaining day) , love me
My last piece, I swear
My guilt heavy as this piece I wear
(Love me, love me, hey hey)
They even iced out Jesus' hair
My last piece, I swear (Love me, love me)
Lord, this is the last time (Haha)
Told my accountant, "It's the last time"
I swear this is the last time
I know that I said that shit last time
But this the last time
Mama I swear this is the last time
So don't take my chains from me
This is the last time
'Cause, I chose this slavery
This is the last time
Don't take my chains from me
This is the last time
'Cause, I love this slavery
I need you to love me, love me, love me
I need you to love me, love me, love me
I need you to love me, love me, love me
I need you to love me, love me, love me
I need you to love me, love me, love me
I need you to love me, love me, love me
I need you to love me, love me, love me
(Hey, hey hey hey)
I need you to love me, love me, love me
I swear this is my last time
This chain that I bought
You mix greed, pain and fame
This is heinous result
