[J. Cole]
Look at me, pathetic n***a
This chain that I bought, this is 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 the range rover my girl got the mercedes
Iced out crazy I wanna shine like baby
Compared to that n***a 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 n***a not to do
Image is everything I see, it got a lot to do
With the way that people perceive, and what they believe
Money short so this j**elry is like a weave
Get to the sea and hear n***as say I see you
Now b**hes wanna f** you and n***as wanna be you
And police wanna stop you, frisk you wonder what he do

If a hater snatch yo chain, I bet it still won't free you
Cause I'll be right back grinding 'til I cop another
I sit and think about all this sh** I coulda copped my mother
My partner said that's just the game my n***a
So I heard my j**eler say here go your chain my n***a
This is chaining day
Chaining day, my chaining day
This is my chain today
My last piece, I swear, my guilt heavy as this piece I wear
They even iced out Jesus' hair
My last piece, I swear, they even iced out Jesus' hair
Ice on this white Jesus seem a little unholy
The real strange thing about this iced out Rolly
It's the same sh** a broke black n***a get ga**ed at
The same sh** a rich white mo'f**a 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 where n***as sit today
You rock a chain and they always got some sh** to say
Even back when I was broke I knew his sh** was fake
He'd prolly sneeze too hard and his sh** 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 actin' like I gave a f**, money I was savin' up
And copped a crib that's and then that hundred racks, I gave it up
