Look at me, pathetic n****
This chain that I bought, greed, pain and fame this a heinous result
Let these words be the colors I'm just paintin' my heart
I'm knee deep in the game and it ain't what I thought
Copped the Range Rover my girl got the Mercedes
Iced out crazy I wanna shine like Baby
Compared to that n**** I ain't even got a bib yet
Truth be told I ain't even bought a crib yet
This is everything they told a n**** not to do
Image is everything I see, it got a lot to do
With the way that people perceive, and what they believe
Money short so this jewelry is like a weave
Meant to deceive and hear n****s say I see you
Now b****es wanna f*** you and n****s wanna be you
And police wanna stop you, frisk you, wonder what he do
If a hater snatch a chain I bet it still won't free you
Cause I'll be right back grinding till I cop another
I sit and think 'bout all the s*** I could'nt cop my mother
My partner say that's just a game my n****
That's what I heard my jeweler say chain my n****

This is chaining day
Chaining day, my chaining day
This is my chain today
My last piece, I swear
My guilt heavy as this piece I wear
They even iced out Jesus' hair
My last piece, I swear
They even iced out Jesus' hair
Iced on this white Jesus, seem a little unholy
Real strange thing about this iced out Rollie
It's the same s*** a broke black n**** get ga**ed at
The same s*** a rich white mo'f***a laugh at
Well laugh on white man, I ain't paid as you
But I bet your rims ain't the same age as you
And I ain't got no investment portfolio
But my black and white diamonds shinin' like a Oreo
I know back home where n****s sit today
You rock a chain and they always got some s*** to say
Even back when I was broke I knew his s*** was fake
He'd probably sneeze too hard and his s*** could break
But hey, you know the sayin', "Fake it 'til you make it"
Me, I did the opposite, made it then I faked it
And acted like I gave a f***, money I was savin' up
Then copped a crib that's gated till that hundred racks, I gave it up
