Righ about now
I think it's time you explained to everybody
The real reason
You wear this chain around your neck, aight!
Yo yo, this Puff Daddy
Number 1-6-double0-3-0-5-0
Representin Davenport
The experimental prison
You know what I'm saying?
Representin Double I for life
1-18
Too many of my people got time
It shows as crime unfolds
Many snap in a trap
Now new minds explode
Learn the ability
To find their goals
Locked in a facility
Where time is froze
God knows the heart hurts to see no sky
Just dirt
They give a man a cell
Quick before they give a man work
So we get into this black
This black cat syndrome
Grow folder like there's no heart
And no soul ingrown
Bars and cement
Instead of help for our people
Jails ain't nothin'
But the slave day sequel
Tryin' to flee the trap
Of this Nation
Seein penitentiary's
The plan ta plant the new plantation
They say we'll take the animals
From cottons and crops
Straight to forgotten with locks
Plottin to rottin our stocks
They draw a crooked line
And wait for your foot ta fall under
Serving most of my brothers
Another football number
Judges look at our seeds
These brothers, like enemies
Saying "We don't need G's"
Giving out years like free cheese
Free please
Nigga, ain't no freedom
Who's locked up? Who's shot up?
Who's strung out?
Who's bleeding? Keep reading
I'm here to explain
The chain remain the same
Maintain for the brothers
And sisters locked
The chain remains
The chain remains
The chain remains
The chain remains
The chain remains

I, I be checkin y'all out in 1997, later
Nowadays, still we're captured
Still hear wicked laughter while shackled
We're beaten and battered
Then cuffed after we're tackled
We're tugged while increasing
The mugged and indecent
Hit one more time with a black jack
Then dragged in the precinct
Still don't know what the back and forth
Looking meaner, meant stripped
Made into a convict
Booked then fingerprinted
How many more times
Of this humiliation?
How many more bouts do we have to lose
While we fight for our rights in this nation
That we supposed to
Have since birth
But the breaks on the bricks get worse
So it's jail first
And that's all they offer us
Ain't that right Mr Officer?
The chain remains, the chain remains
The chain remains, the chain remains
The chain remains, the chain remains
The chain remains, the chain remains
The chain remains

Up in Tennesee outta Fort Dix
Representin' Cleveland and Illtown
Some rob blocks
Does it matter or should it?
While ghetto's dodge cops
Duck bullets and pull it
I hangout
And hustle with my friends
'til the end
'til the day we burn pens
Ain't no mystery we need victory
The system conspired
The days of the riots
Ain't retired
But brothers staying calm
'cause they soldiers
'til when the only solutions revolution
No, we told ya
The chain remains
'til we uprise
Stuck in a land
Where we ain't meant to survive
And I hope this don't suit ya
Some work
Like a slave ta get a hit
But won't work to save for a future
And that's when the cost
Is the man within
And we're just as lost
As the land we in
Some blasted, some based
And some dropped down
And most who sold it right now
Are lock down and rocked round
And it's been happenin so much
That they make it so that
It ain't even no shock now
The chain remains
The chain remains
The chain remains
The chain remains
The chain remains

Way I'm thinkin
This thing here, its all messed up there
And we all better do something
For all the brothers
Who is locked down
Cos they locked down
And I don't care if we
Definitely lock down the heat
Do something, do something bad
Peace out
Yo what's up, this Terreet Pett
