Chains
[Verse 1]
Exhale, this smoke just makes the way straight
Pray, Calm the nerves before I go to vacate
Wait, all this stress piling on this tray plate
Always ten minutes early but I still end up a day late
I'd be lying if I said that I would die for your company
Just trying to make some money with the opportunity that's in front of me
Your Corporate apes are fed bananas from a basket
While I am breaking chains you try to grasp them with elastics
Many broke to pieces thin divide, they poke the creases
Far from divine distort the lines with a rope between us
Feel like I'm gonna choke, provoke the vocal art increases
It's like the paint brush of death, or partly stroke of genius
Stock is dropping whats the option you hear the talk a plenty
Feel the scowl of the boss everytime something cost's a penny
Their Bottom line in line, these cuffs make my skin sag
Chains around my brain and I'm walking as the link's drag
[Chorus/Hook]
Chains, dragging them around
Laying on pavement, and they're clanking with the sound
Of the chains, they're banking on the pounds
The more you chase the change, the more it chains you to the ground

[Verse 2]
Pay your bills pay your debts, pay your dentist pay your vet
Pay your goverment pay your set, but wait, dont take yours yet
Pay your tax, pay your class, get your vax, don't say no sass
Axes, glasses, calls and faxes, show me where the cash is and you get your passes
Teach it in the schools, speak within the rules
If you're stepping out of line they will seat you with the fools
Try and build yourself a mansion with beaches and the pools
But They go to slap your hand when you're reaching for the tools
And It bothers me, no wonder people fall to robbery
Cents start to make sense when they're opened like lobotimy
You probably have a better shot to win the lottery
It's sodomy, these elites keep the streets within their poverty
Are you joking? Beg for tokens, they hang it from their boards
Bend until their broken so there's no anger from their lords
Saliva flying, as they're aiming with their swords
Swinging at the outspoken who are a danger to their hordes
[Chorus/Hook]
Chains, dragging them around
Laying on pavement, and clanking with the sound
Of the chains, they're banking on the pounds
The more you chase the change, the more it chains you to the ground
x2
[Verse 3]
It's a 9-1-1 emergency
Gotta break the cage I feel the rage and the urgency
Service you? Oh, certainly. You want Black, blue, or burgandy?
Reaching for the purse this current purchase makes me currency
Commission comptetition until my Pocket got a bursary,
Currently Start to think that this job is a lot Worse for me
Go beserk until it Hurts like awful, surgery
Purposely, jack the price, it's like I watch a burglary
A different version of me emerging nervously
Walk and pacing softly like I'm lurking in a nursery
Hush, hurriiedly, on the edge at the brink of the shelf
Start to feel the eyes as I become one who thinks for himself
No luck. been abrupt just want a buck when I sing
Dumped into the bucket where the mud is with nothing to bring
Clunk and a ting, Stuck with the slugs, and I'm drug in the lanes
Because my thoughts are a danger to the ones who are tugging the chains
[Chorus/Hook]
Chains, dragging them around
Laying on pavement, and clanking with the sound
Of the chains, they're banking on the pounds
The more you chase the change, the more it chains you to the ground
