BoyKi & Jaay Watt - Chain Gang lyrics

[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 [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 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 [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
