J. COLE - Chaining Day lyrics

rate me

Look at me, pathetic nigga

This chain that I bought, this is greed, pain, and fame this is 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 nigga 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 nigga 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

Get to the sea and hear niggas say I see you

Now bitches wanna fuck you and niggas wanna be you

And police wanna stop you, frisk you wonder what he do

If a hater snatch yo chain, I bet it still won't free you

Cause I'll be right back grinding 'til I cop another

I sit and think about all this shit I coulda copped my mother

My partner said that's just the game my nigga

So I heard my jeweler say here go your chain my nigga

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

Ice on this white Jesus seem a little unholy

The real strange thing about this iced out Rolly

It's the same shit a broke black nigga get gassed at

The same shit a rich white mo'fucka 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 niggas sit today

You rock a chain and they always got some shit to say

Even back when I was broke I knew his shit was fake

He'd prolly sneeze too hard and his shit 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 actin' like I gave a fuck, money I was savin' up

And copped a crib that's and then that hundred racks, I gave it up
