LKF - Chain Mail Lyrics

(W-Well, he had an unusual appearance, it almost frightened me.
Then, he started scribbling something sporadically on a piece of paper)

Look

I wear a chain for every time I made a mistake
And I wear a chain for every time I made a heart break
And I wear a chain for every time I listened to fate
And I wear a chain for every time I wanted more weight
I think I need some more weight cuz I'm feeling so light
I chain up my eyes so my future's out of sight
And my future's out of mind so I shackled my brain
Hope it ain't in vain let's wait a couple days
I'm Mr cellophane or Mr telephone
I'm Mr RBF or Mr wreck-a-home
You cannot tell it right so I guess I'm always wrong
And if I'm always wrong, let's add another chain
I'm walking on glass I'm stepping on legos
I'm chugging on gas just to prove I'm nothing special
I'm fighting off a dragon so I can feel the flame
Got third degree burns but at least I felt your pain

And I listen to Jermaine it's a Cole world now
I built up my walls but my home burnt down
Got flamed in Atlanta built a dirty birdhouse
Now I can't trust nobody guess it's the purge now

Now I'm in a workout my chainmail glistens
A stranger came up to me said my body built for dissin
So I bought a couple parrots now I'm learning how to listen
Had 24 Karats only got night vision

I'm lookin for gold so I'll just keep mining
They messin with my business that I just keep on mindin
But im thankful for my day one's who all respect the grind and
If you say you miss the old me then you better start rewinding

I'm a carousel of progress better put me on Disney
I'm just warming up, you feel it gettin misty?
And I'm going off to college, boutta package up and ship me
Ima take off all the masks, be the face of my city

And I'm holding a committee for those who don't believe
Come look at every chain and see how they interlink
They showcase struggle and they showcase truth
But I'll never hide behind them and then blame em on my youth

Mistakes were made can't put it all on me
I sold my brain to the devil he took my life for free
But I done prayed the lord he'll have my soul to keep
Soon he will break my chains and he will set me free

Look, soon he will set me free

Look, okay, okay, I'm building up an armor of off all these broke relations
And instead of building praise I have just built a reputation
But I can't let it precede me it's become my avocation
But it's overwhelming nature has me up in meditation

I'm floating in the sky
My future tellin lies
It's 2045
Still looking asinine
I'm flirting with the devil he's my body on the side
But he's carrying the weight of every chain that I applied

I want em broken (ooh)
I wish I'd melt the metal
I'm pushing all the pedals and screaming out the kettle
And I'm plucking off the petals
I love this or I love it not
I made my own concoction but I still love to stir the pot

Like oh my gosh I made a mess
I've been poppin with the stress
I've been all in with the bets
I hit the lotto never left

Playin slots and hitting sevens
Chainin up next to the devil
Momma said I'm causin battles
So let's meddle (earn some medals)

Purple Hearts is what I own
Shot myself with a telephone
Beaten up by a broken home
Crucified by a metronome
I done lived in a metaphor
All this pain that I can't ignore
Say my life is such a bore?
Well live it once, it's pitiful

But I don't ask to pity me
I just need some company
I know I lost my chivalry
So now I need some love for me
All this trash I'm littering
Need you to pick up for me
I need to see light glimmering
Cuz soon the chains will cover me

Mistakes were made can't put it all on me
I sold my brain to the devil he took my life for free
But I done prayed the lord he'll have my soul to keep
Soon he will break my chains and he will set me free

Soon he will set me free
