[PreHook: BoyKi & Jaay Watt]
Feelin warm in my cold skin
Couple hundred years ago, yea they put em on a boat, needed work so they sold him
Blade to the throat, get it done or k**ed slow, white fields and they sowed quick
Master riding with the rope, another swat till I'm broke
Whip stains in the cotton
Black soul feelin hopeless
[Hook: BoyKi & Jaay Watt]
Chain me, chain me up
Tie me, tie me down
Run away from you
Soon after I'm found
Chain gang, chain gang lord
Blood shed off of me
Feeling all alone
Please come set me free
[Verse 1: BoyKi]
Study my roots like it's harvest time
Old soul that is so divine
Workin like it's over time, a better life for you and I
Or maybe you cause you my employer and I ain't seen a dime
400 years seem like a lot of time
That's when it all started happenin
Takin kids and baggin em, something like my daddy did
Wit the blow and now he doin 40 lives
And now we known as drug dealers and step children
Always low on pay stubs cause our skin is different
Walk around wit Arizonas and a rainbow
And my d**h still ain't make the change flow
And they d**h still ain't make the chains go
Cause all us n**uhs still rockin em
Get a couple bags and we blow em in a hurry
Get mad when a dude try and jock em
And now we sing the same ole song
And ask for the same ole love
That you givin to yo brother but you placin me up under
Like the door and the door mat
And I sing the same ole song
And ask for the same ole love
I just pray in the end that you don't have to withstand that

[Verse 2: Jaay Watt]
They wanna keep me at the bottom, never rising
But occasionally feeling equal when placing the bets, was at war, I'm a vet
See what's next, they give you false time, heart full of distress at the very wrong time
I'm on my own time, I'm in my own lane, this is the wrong time
To mess with me, I be full of the rage, it's okay, they say we're quite the same
But okay, I been praying for a sign on the D low, can't be high, cuz they want you to be so low
I'll be fine, cuz the problems only He know
Not okay, they took it all, now we stand broke
Oh my God, freedom with the chains on, that's not right
Steady standing in the dark till we found light
They say you dumb if you dark and you ain't light
I write a verse with my mind, do that sound right?
Was on a boat, we was sold, do that sound right?
I see the perks of a kid with his skin white
I try to run cuz I'm scared, and that's alright
But being scared cuz the skin never been right
That's left field, catch my emotions in the hand
Speak the words that were never said
It's all blowing up in my head, run away off in the land
