J. Cole - Chaining Day Lyrics
[Verse 1]Look at me, pathetic nigga, this chain that I boughtYou could dream pain and fame, this is heinous resultLet these words be the colors I'm just paintin my heartI'm knee-deep in the game and it ain't what I thoughtCopped the range rover my girl got the mercedesIced out crazy I wanna shine like babyCompared to that nigga I ain't even got a bib yetTruth be told I ain't even bought a crib yetThis is everything they told a nigga not to doImage is everything I see, it got a lot to doWith the way that people perceive, and what they believeMoney short so this jewelry is like a weaveMeant to deceive and hear niggas say I see youNow *****es wanna ***** you and niggas wanna be youAnd police wanna stop you, frisk you wonder what he doIf a hater snatch yo chain, I bet it still won't free youCause I'll be right back grinding 'til I cop anotherI sit and think about all this shit I coulda copped my motherMy partner said that's just the game my niggaSo I heard my jeweler say here go your chain my nigga[Hook]This is chaining dayChaining day, my chaining dayThis is my chain todayMy last piece, I swear, my guilt heavy as this piece I wearThey even iced out Jesus' hairMy last piece, I swear, they even iced out Jesus' hair[Verse 2]Ice on this white Jesus seem a little unholyThe real strange thing about this iced out RollyIt's the same shit a broke black nigga get gassed atThe same shit a rich white mo'*****a laugh atWell laugh on white man, I ain't paid as youBut I bet your rims ain't the same age as youAnd I ain't got no investment portfolioBut my black and white diamonds shinin' like a OreoI know back home where niggas sit todayYou rock a chain and they always got some shit to sayEven back when I was broke I knew his shit was fakeHe'd prolly sneeze too hard and his shit could breakBut hey, you know the sayin', "Fake it 'til you make it"Me, I did the opposite, made it then I faked itAnd actin' like I gave a *****, money I was savin' upAnd copped a crib that's gated then that hundred racks, I gave it upFor What[Hook]LordThis is the last timeTold my accountant, It's the las timeI swear this is the last timeI know that I said that last timeBut this the last timeMama I swear this is the last timeSo don't take my Chains from meCause I chose this slaveryThis is the last timeDon't take my chains from meCause I love this slaveryI need you to love me, love me, love [7x]I said this is my last timeOkay I lied
