Chaining Day Songtext
von J. Cole

Ayy
Cole World
For real

Look at me, pathetic nigga, this chain that I bought
You mix dream 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 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 your 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

I need you to love me (Chaining day), love me (Oh my chaining day)
I need you to love me (My chaining day), love me
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 Roley
It's the same shit a broke black nigga get gassed at
The same shit a rich white motherfucker 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 a nigga sick today
He rock a chain and he 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
To buy a crib that's gated to that hundred racks, I gave it up
For what

I need you to love me (Chaining day), love me (Oh my chaining day)
I need you to love me (My chaining day), love me
My last piece, I swear, my guilt heavy as this piece I wear
They even iced out Jesus' hair
My last piece, I swear (Love me, love me)

Lord
This is the last time

Told my accountant, it′s the last time
I swear this is the last time
I know that I said that shit last time
But this the last time
Mama I swear this is the last time
So don′t take my chains from me
This is the last time
'Cause I chose this slavery
This is the last time
Don′t take my chains from me
This is the last time
'Cause I love this slavery

I need you to love me, love me, love me
I need you to love me, love me, love me
I need you to love me, love me, love me
I need you to love me, love me, love me
I need you to love me, love me, love me
I need you to love me, love me, love me
I need you to love me, love me, love me
I need you to love me, love me, love me
I said this is my last time
