Chains

(album: Someone I'm Not - 2020)

Old bitch she call on my phone, let it rang
And the next time I see her it's tears on her face
So sick and tired of playing these games
But after awhile I don't even get phased
Guess nothing else matters as long as I'm paid
Know I only want blue cheese, I don't need the praise
Been on my shit, I think I need a raise
And I ain't too fond as of late but I'm paid
And I don't want fame but I'll be on display
Know it sucks, but it come with the shit I create
Stay sipping on something to ease all the pain
Watch me smoke up a check, I don't care 'bout the strain
Put some water on me, trynna put out the flame
Dark energy all in me, I attain
Try running from problems I don't get away
Yeah I know I'm alive but feel like I'm in chains

I try so hard, I know I'll never change
It ain't no point in me trynna explain
When I try to know I always refrain
I act like I'm not but I'm glad that you came
The shit that I'm on really make me ashamed
You think that you did, you didn't leave me this way
The light it go by me, the dark I retain
The shit it run through me, it run through my veins
Feel like they speak to me like every night
Try to get rid of 'em, they in my head like
Caught like a deer in the headlights
Heart beating out of my body, my chest tight
Baby what do you suggest I do with my problems, I need to confess my
Sins in my head they go left right, they hold me back from me living my best life
But in real life, no, I never complain
My baby, my family are all that remains
Didn't see that before, who've I became?
Know this is my world bitch, I feel like I'm Wayne
Pockets got big as hell, look like a dane
My nuts and my check is two things that she drain
At least she got by me before all the fame
At least I know she ain't trynna ride the wave

Old bitch she call on my phone let it rang
And the next time I see her it's tears on her face
So sick and tired of playing these games
But after awhile I don't even get phased
Guess nothing else matters as long as I'm paid
Know I only want blue cheese, I don't need the praise
Been on my shit I think I need a raise
And I ain't too fond as of late but I'm paid
And I don't want fame but I'll be on display
Know it sucks, but it come with the shit I create
Stay sipping on something to ease all the pain
Watch me smoke up a check, I don't care 'bout the strain
Put some water on me trynna put out the flame
Dark energy all in me I attain
Try running from problems I don't get away
Yeah I know I'm alive but feel like I'm in chains
