XV - Chains, Whips & Bars lyrics

[Verse 1] 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... [Hook] 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 (x2) [Verse 2] It's hard to quit the bull, they be on some Jordan sh** Cuz when really do it, you don't choose it, you were born to do So I choose for my fam' and you, Florida sh** And I'mma k** a n***a on some Dexter Morgan sh** 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 hits 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 b**h on tick and it just won't stop If you don't know that boy sick cuz he's got Chorus [Bridge] 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 (x2) Chorus
