manchild - chained melody lyrics

what’s your ball and chain?
and it’s all the same
yeah

[verse 1]
see i’m independent in bloodline handed down to the ground level
next generation is nervous hoping they sound settled
down and they voice change we tried to avoid fame
started speaking through the blackest void and then the noise came
avoided certain choices: the business plus the price tag
god is real that’s all i know media outlets don’t like that
my flight back is sweeter cause i’m headed him now
the flattery is cool kids but try to make your own style
feel free to emulate the mc when he’s dead and gone
pour yourself a pint and drain it empty with my records on
put in work in blood and rhymes and climb the upper echelon
i reside the fire inside your eyes and so i’m never gone
petty crimes committed by the biggest figures misses none
if you sucker rappers want attention then i’ll give you some
never healed it down so hard and heavy while i watch it turn
still i got a lot to learn (yeah, a lot to learn)

[hook]
what’s your ball and chain? what’s your prison cell?
some wear it on their wrists and ankles, others keep it hidden well
some keep it charlie chaplin, other like to kiss and tell
so what’s your ball and chain? so what’s your prison cell?

[verse 2]
see now i’m well aware that they’re prepared to lock it down and shut it up
they say silence is golden but still say that they’re in love with us
that goes for radio, blogs, labels, and music publishers
i puddle jump, knuckle up and bust em with an uppercut
lush and green potholes in my lawn are deep and wide
so please don’t get close to the edge when you peek inside
this morning i awoke to broken surf and even tides
but when the people quote your rhymes it’s the blind leading the blind
my homies think the same as me, we speak and say it differently
the key: they keep it under lock and key and plead the fifth degree
don’t have to like your style, my mans, but keep it interesting
hours in the day the only single thing that limits me
i’m manchild man versus many men in any trend
if i’m not the greatest then please tell me now who is it then?
watch my win column kicking in to pay some dividends
i broke them chains already; where you been? (where you been?)
