gerald walker - shackles lyrics
[verse 1:]
they sayin’ wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, mr.
walker
it’s n-gg-s out here hatin’ and these b-tches steady
talkin’
they wanna see me in the sky, but rather view me in the
coffin
’cause they know this n-gg-‘s i’ll as if i’m sneezin’
and i’m coughin’
but we give ’em reminders
we wouldn’t think twice when you critics define us
got the lead in this race, so you can get behind us
they just tryna find us
i’m with a girl who got a -ss, boy, the size of ehonda
that’s big
you’ont know who that is
street fightin’ with my writin’
go and grab your gl-sses
or your magnifyin’ gl-sses
see this sh-t i’m tryna to kick
i got love for everybody, but with a 10-foot stick
oh and poe, here i go, jay-z said, “bubble on the low”
this is my comin’ of age, and in a second i’m a blow
to be the biggest in my city since that n-gg- al
jarreau
i got these shackles all around with no f-cking place
to go
[chorus:]
somebody take ’em off
i got these cuffs on my brain
i’m just tryna maintain
i just wish someone would come and help me take ’em off
(uh huh, uh huh)
’cause i swear i’m tryna break ’em off
now will somebody help me take ’em off
all these cuffs and these chains
’cause i’m ready for a change
i’ve been tryin’, but i swear it’s hard to shake ’em
off (uh huh, uh huh)
now will somebody help me break ’em off
[verse 2:]
sayin’ wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, mr. walker
old friends start to hate, extended family steady
talkin’
how he hooked up with a bunch of college kids out there
in austin
how cardo and sledgren got these women tryna stalk ‘i’m
oh no, swear i’m only focused on my promo
the way i turn b-tches down, you would think that i was
h-m-
far from it!
i just know it’s money to be made, my mom ’bout to
retire
and i’m tryna have a babe
that’s the reason why i’m focused and i’m workin’ like
a slave
i keep my trust in god when sh-t get hard
you know, you probably feel it too, that’s why you
stayin’ on your guard
but when life throws you a curve ball, you knock it out
the park
i’m just tryna spit the real, tell you how i feel
and before i die, not leave a thing unsaid
’cause honestly rap needs another n-gg- stuntin’
the way i need a hole in my head
i’m gerald walker
[chorus:]
i got these cuffs on my brain
i’m just tryna maintain
i just wish someone would come and help me take ’em off
(uh huh, uh huh)
’cause i swear i’m tryna break ’em off
now will somebody help me take ’em off
all these cuffs and these chains
’cause i’m ready for a change
i’ve been tryin’, but i swear it’s hard to shake ’em
off (uh huh, uh huh)
now will somebody help me break ’em off
somebody take ’em off
i got these cuffs on my brain
i’m just tryna maintain
i just wish someone would come and help me take ’em off
(uh huh, uh huh)
’cause i swear i’m tryna break ’em off (uh huh, uh huh)
now will somebody help me take ’em off
all these cuffs and these chains
i’m ready for a change
i’ve been tryin’, but i swear it’s’ hard to shake ’em
off (uh huh, uh huh)
now will somebody help me break ’em off (break ’em off,
break ’em off…)
