Daquan Mebane - Chains & Shackles, Pt. 2
Chains and shackles on my feet I can't move freely
Can't you see like vivid pictures
This the real allegory of the cave
A simple minded slave blinded binded by his lack of vision and sight he can't even Recognize the light
The truth to him is too bright so he rather live in the dark and hope to never see light
No more Tales from the Crip tonight
He finally found his kryptonite
He slipped lost his c now he just rip.
Free at last that's a bit too fast, you can baptize the brain but the stain on the soul remains.
Look massa that boy brought his own own chains mane
30k on designer put the rest on lay away and he don't
Even know where he gonna stay today but lord willing I hope he make away
Chains & shackles on my feet, on my mind got me being controlled like all the time
This peace of mind anit no Peace of mind
Chains & shackles on my feet, on my mind got me being controlled like all the time
This peace of mind anit no Peace of mind
Truth be told I done seen good Christians
Loose all religion now they worship designer
Yeah, true religion clout chaser for the clout forge stakes with masons
And it's sadder since you did with no Hesitation
Others peaked my fascination how you ready for graduation if your mind still on massa plantation
That's like planing a vacation on final destination
Caught in the world wide wide web this new age hour
Seems good then turn sour
Black widow hour aka the higher power
I tried Makaveli the seven day theory killuminati
To no avail, it seems to me that earth is Parallel to h e double l
To make things worst half my people in a cell or jail either guaranteed to fail
Came here on a sail but no price at
Retail, or t.v wholesale cuz they don't sell free
And to them you and me not even worth the stocking fee
Chains & shackles on my feet, on my mind got me being controlled like all the time
This peace of mind anit no Peace of mind
Chains & shackles on my feet, on my mind got me being controlled like all the time
This peace of mind anit no Peace of mind
During the long strenuous journey across the sea
Some of our African Ancestors chose death over bondage
Because to live life as a slave is the same as not living at all
The beautiful tranquility of ignorance is revealed
Through the pain that the honest truth brings
No matter how hard we try and deny it we are all slaves even now, Everyone
Slaves to something or someone
Whether it be mentally or physically
From the very instant you were Conceived fate had already cursed you
With your very own set of chains and shackles
