[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

[Verse 2]
It's hard to quit the bull, they be on some Jordan %#@!
Cuz when really do it, you don't choose it, you were born to do

So I choose for my fam' and you, Florida %#@!
And I'mma kill a ^!$$% on some Dexter Morgan %#@!
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 (*##$ on tick and it just won't stop

If you don't know that boy sit cuz he's got

[Chorus]

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)


[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]
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)
