XV - Chains, Whips & Bars lyrics

How we go from "Who's
That?" to "That's who!"?
Gave the game life when it had
Less sole than flat shoes
Heart of a king, blood of a slave
A hundred chains
Sixteen bars that prison guards
Could not contain
We put on ice as soon as we get hot
And carry heavy metal just in case we slip
Not
These kids rock like we Kid Rocks of hip hop
And if you hope that it stops
Then kick rocks in flip flops
CD's fill bins like Regis
But we still treated like animals
Right? No PETA
Maybe 'cuz we shine like a Las Vegas?
Cuz we all pack heaters they in drive
Two seaters
Hittin' one city but I rent two cars
Damn Big, did we take it too far?
This is Ozymandius' chain going too hard
We are slaves to our vain man
Look at the scars but, I got

Chains, whips, bars, see?
So tell me why I feel so free
So tell me why I feel so free
So tell me why I feel so free

It's hard to quit the bull
They be on some Jordan shit
Cuz when really do it, you don't choose it
You were born to do
So I choose for my fam' and you, Florida shit
And I'mma kill a nigga on
Some Dexter Morgan shit
I promise momma that college wasn't
Just for the kid
Cuz I master the trophies you
Don't box up in storages
Nobody ever sang my praises, amazing
Now I'm hopping up on stages where
They all singing my choruses
Chains, bars and whips y'all ball cuz no
Umpire would ever call THEM hit's
That y'all spit out y'all lips
I spit out my soul
You just spit out your spit
I'm going for the globe at
The end of my wrist
North Pole on my twelve, South Pole on my six
Vizzy on tock
Bad bitch on tick and it just won't stop
If you don't know that boy sick cuz he's got

While everybody struggles to be so free
I can't take these chains off me
I can't take these chains off me
I can't take these chains off me
