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 said this is my last time
