Uh, we got the Black elite in the house tonight
Rosewood
I feel like I'm at the NAACP or something right now
The Essence Festival
Q-Tip on the beat too, uh, uh
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 try to tell me my chain broke the levee
Maybe 'cause it's flooded
Why you walk around with a baby cross's cousin?
My teeth already white, y'all gon' make me floss for nothing
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 her period
I make my jeweler add a few more links
You can look at me, tell I ain't **** 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, okay
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's will we see in one lifetime?
That's why it's Miles Davis, Kobe, it's Mike time
I keep that GOAT 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 lived that
Now I'm just tryna find where to raise my kids at
'Cause they don't want niggas next to where they crib at
Hey, realtor, 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
The bullshit they got us listenin' to, in this existence
Don't give up now, just a little more persistence
I am the day Ice Cube met Michael Jackson
Keep 'em away, hanh! Something might happen
This is the makin' of a masterpiece
So we broke out the chains and 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, okay
Here we go, like we should
Like we should, like we should
Like we should
Some wear a suit and tie, they don't wanna remain average
Some wear a suit and tie like a chain and a straitjacket
Then D.A. attack us, want us in chains like B. A. Baracus
So no major factor in my decision to be a rapper
Was rebellion; being anti-establishment was attractive
To a Black kid from Brooklyn, flames got the thangs cooking
Land of the juks, where them lames get them chains tooken
It ain't lookin' good for you if you're a tourist here
Sometimes I rhymes the sort of frequency that only purists hear
A couple rappers tried to beef with me, nobody's scared
Niggas was so ****ing 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 of brains
It's like we sadomasochistic, addicted to whips and chains
Figuratively, quite literally, clinically insane
Try in vain to ignore it, don't buy the chain if you can't afford it
'Ye, them lonely idled whores by the boards, trust
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 link, she saying the game's over
I drove her crazy, and she became a chain smoker
Now the new dude she's saying 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 the sofa
So the chain's on the door, I'm on the way over
Was, "You must be the owner of a chain of restaurants
'Cause I'ma eat your food for that chain that I want
'Cause you be running 'round like the chain make the man"
So it's obvious that he don't know the chain of command
And it's so chunky that it's a pain in the neck
But it came with a check, I remember on chaining day
So don't get distracted, keep your aim steady
Or there'll be a chain reaction, since my chain's heavy"
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, okay
Here we go, like we should
Like we should, like we should

[04:05.833]And now when we link, she saying the game's over
[04:08.630]I drove her crazy, and she became a chain smoker
[04:11.401]Now the new dude she's saying that can stay over
[04:13.896]Should be a chain, who goes by the name of Choker
[04:16.526]That's what he did when she told him he should play the sofa
[04:19.247]So the chain's on the door, I'm on the way over
[04:24.089]Was, "You must be the owner of a chain of restaurants
[04:26.597]'Cause I'ma eat your food for that chain that I want
[04:29.368]'Cause you be running 'round like the chain make the man"
[04:31.772]So it's obvious that he don't know the chain of command
[04:37.236]And it's so chunky that it's a pain in the neck
[04:39.635]But it came with a check, I remember on chaining day
[04:48.347]So don't get distracted, keep your aim steady
[04:50.623]Or there'll be a chain reaction, since my chain's heavy"
[04:52.543]
[04:52.748][Chorus: Kanye West]
[04:53.127]My chain heavy, yeah, yeah, my chain heavy
[04:55.716]My chain heavy, my chain too heavy
[04:58.394]My chain heavy, yeah, yeah, my chain heavy
[05:01.072]My chain heavy, my chain too heavy
[05:03.012]
[05:03.167][Post-Chorus: Kanye West]
[05:03.309]Here we go, like we should
[05:05.921]Feel the sweat, on your face
[05:08.545]Here we go, like we should
[05:11.195]Feel the sweat, on your face
[05:13.826]Alright, okay
[05:16.377]Here we go, like we should
[05:21.578]Like we should, like we should
