Chaining Day Lyrics - Born Sinner - J. Cole

Look at me, pathetic nigga, this chain that I bought 

You mix 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 

Meant to deceive 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 

Swear 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 gated that hundred racks, I gave it up 

For what

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 

Lord 

This is the last time 

Told my accountant, It's the las time 

I swear this is the last time 

I know that I said that last time 

But this the last time 

Mama I swear this is the last time 

So don't take my Chains from me 

Cause I chose this slavery 

This is the last time 

Don't take my chains from me 

Cause I love this slavery 

I need you to love me, love me, love 

I need you to love me, love me, love 

I need you to love me, love me, love 

I need you to love me, love me, love 

I need you to love me, love me, love 

I need you to love me, love me, love 

I need you to love me, love me, love 

I said this is my last time 

Okay I lied
