mic capes – chains lyrics

[verse 1]

young n+gga with an old soul
trying to balance my life
get things right
will i make it? only lord knows
cause dreams die quicker than an iphone
and kids die quicker than they parents do
by the age of 14 they prepared to shoot
n+ggas taking that leap with no pair of shoes
for a pair of shoes they can wear to hoop in
loose ends in the northside
rich kids sitting courtside
never had that
trapped in a maze felt caged like a lab rat
trade the bar for a blunt n+gga pass that
go up on a bottle let me tap that
n+gga pass that
no plans for tomorrow
we ain’t get to map that
hurt hearts but we mask that
role models never had that
‘less he g+ngb+ng or bag crack
pimp hoes or rat traps
glass ceilings we ain’t ever seen a n+gga crack that
so we rarely pass that
my n+gga that’s a sad fact
trying to stay calm in the storm without robbing a store
we starving but food stamps don’t fall on that card till the fourth
far from the forbes
can’t wait till the day that we ball in that porsche
instead of breaking them laws and the courts
mama sprawled out on the floor
cause the charge is more than she could imagine
imagine you in them prison walls and all you got is the lord
lord save us
promise you we trying to change our ways
broken hearts full of anger
and every single day we gotta face this pain

[chorus 1]

every single day we gotta face this pain
times get harder but my faith don’t change
every single day we gotta face this pain
times get harder but my faith don’t change
praying up to god we can break these chains
praying up to god we can break these chains
praying up to god we can break these chains
yeah i’m praying up to god we can break these chains

[verse 2]

what you living your life for?
the cars the clothes the money or the hoes
what you willing to fight for or willing to die for
i hope you set on being yourself all the glitters ain’t gold
when times get cold if you ever do fold look inside of yourself
gotta be bold success in your goals
it’s something you mold you define ’em yourself
don’t’ let ’em throw dirt on your vision
some people is wicked you gotta stay focused
make sure that you with it when you on a mission cause n+ggas be bogus
you gotta stay humble if you ever you stumble keep moving your feet
you bound to take losses but don’t let them losses put you underneath
stay true to your purpose keep working my n+gga
you goin to bear the fruit and see the result
when you hear this music i hope you influenced to help you get through it and see there is hope
i came from the bottom i know it feel to be hungry and broke (broke broke broke)
grew up in the vill in the johns it taught a young n+gga the ropes
some of my n+ggas ain’t make it
some of my n+ggas got smoked
some of my n+ggas drowned
but somehow i learned how to float
but none of us brothers was different i just found a way i could cope
through the heartache kept a hard face all day so a n+gga ain’t know
if a n+gga don’t try then a n+gga don’t fly and n+gga don’t grow, sh+t

[chorus 2]
