Chain Heavy

We got the black elite in the house tonight
Rosewood!
I feel like I'm at the NAACP or somethin' right now...
Essence Festival
Q-Tip on the beat, too

My chain heavy, yeah yeah, my chain heavy
My chain heavy, my chain too heavy
My chain heavy, yeah yeah, my chain heavy
My chain heavy, my chain too heavy

They tried to tell me that my chain broke the levee
Maybe 'cause it's flooded
Why you walkin' 'round with a baby cross's cousin
My teeth already white, y'all gon' make me floss for nothin'
My teeth real diamonds, what's the cause of the frontin'?
Why y'all got ALL CAPS on?
Don Cheadle time! Get extra black on 'em
Burn, Hollywood, burn!
Take too long for niggas to get they turn
Probably be cremated before I get my earn
They try to tell me that aliens built the pyramids
I swear life's a bitch on a period
For every inch they cuttin' nose off the Sphinx
I make my jeweler add a few more links
You could look at me today and fuck what nobody think
And my face always lookin' like somebody stinks

My chain heavy, yeah yeah, my chain heavy
My chain heavy, my chain too heavy
My chain heavy, yeah yeah, my chain heavy
My chain heavy, my chain too heavy

Here we go, like we should
Feel the sweat on your face
Here we go, like we should
Feel the sweat on your face

Alright? OK!
Here we go, like we should
Like we should, like we should
Like we should

Question:
What color was the skin of the man who beared the cross?
No matter how many lashes, they couldn't beat it off
How many Cassius will we see in one lifetime?
That's why it's Miles Davis, Kobe, it's Mike time
I keep that gold book on the ottoman
And wrote hooks about slaves that was slaughtered in the 1800s
Y'all forget that, I got called nigga
On Twitter so many times, yo I live that
Now I'm just tryin' ta find out where to raise my kids at
'Cause they don't want niggas next to where they crib at
Hey real Tom, I'm lookin' for a nice park
Twelve noon, she said my family gon' make it too dark
This is the flow that solar eclipses
So hopefully one day that real soul will eclipse
The bullshit they got us listenin' to in this existance
Don't give up now, just a little more persistence
I am the day Ice Cube met Michael Jackson
Keep him away, HYAHH, something might happen
This is the making of a masterpiece
So we broke out the chains, told the master, "Peace"

My chain heavy, yeah yeah, my chain heavy
My chain heavy, my chain too heavy
My chain heavy, yeah yeah, my chain heavy
My chain heavy, my chain too heavy

Here we go, like we should
Feel the sweat on your face
Here we go, like we should
Feel the sweat on your face

Alright? OK!
Here we go, like we should
Like we should, like we should
Like we should

(TALIB KWELI)
Some wear a suit and tie, they don't wanna remain average
some wear a suit and tie like a chain and a straitjacket
My chain heavy, stopping that traffic, coppers harrass us
The DA attack us, want us in chains like B.A. Baracus
And a major factor in my decision to be a rapper was rebellion
Being anti-establishment was attractive to a black kid from Brooklyn
Flames got them things cookin', land of the jukes where the lames got their chains tooken
It ain't lookin' good for you if you a tourist
Yeah sometimes our rhymes is on a frequency that only purists hear
A couple rappers try to beef with me, nobody scared
Niggas was so fuckin' corny that nobody cared
Why I gotta battle rappers, I debate scholars
Question: do it gotta make sense if it make dollars?
Sick visions is living inside our brains
It's like we sado-masochistic, addicted to whips and chains
Figuratively, quite literally clinically insane
Spit flames when I visit the higher planes
Try in vain to ignore, don't buy the chain if you can't afford it
'Ye, them load of a-whores by the boards trust

(CONSEQUENCE)
That old ball and chain had me chained up for weeks
So of course I'm off the chain as soon as I hit the streets
And now when we leak she sayin' the game's over
I drover her crazy and she became a chain-smoker
Now the new dude she sayin' that can stay over
Should be a chain who goes by the name of choker
That's what he did when she told him he should play this over
So the chain's on, he throw 'em on the way over
But when I came over, his only response
Was, "Well you must be the owner of a chain of restaurants!
'Cause I'ma eat your food for the chain that I worn
'Cause you be runnin' 'round like the chain makes the man"
And it's so chunky that it's a pain in the neck
But it came with a check, I remember on chaining day
It spoke for itself and this is what the chain would say:
"Them chain-snatchers are hoping that you ain't ready
So don't get distracted, keep your aim steady
Or there'll be a chain reaction since my chain's heavy"

(KANYE)
My chain heavy, yeah yeah, my chain heavy
My chain heavy, my chain too heavy
My chain heavy, yeah yeah, my chain heavy
My chain heavy, my chain too heavy

Here we go, like we should
Feel the sweat on your face
Here we go, like we should
Feel the sweat on your face

Alright? OK!
Here we go, like we should
Like we should, like we should
Like we should
