lyrics

I was 7 years old
And their jaws was on the floor,
With their pale white eyes
And their deafening silence
Was there.
I was there, were you?
You'll never know
Just how it feels
To stare back
When you stare at me
OOOOO oooooo
Black skin over porcelain plates
Oh my dear
When the gold chain shines
And the watch got diamonds.
It sells.
Oh it sells to you.
(chorus)
And how do you explain this?
The seat in the back is meant for me?
And how do you explain this?
The ones we lost hanging from the trees. They don't want to see you shine.
Soon you'll see those white hoods
Knocking at my door.
When they see you shine
They don't want nothin more
Than to see you shuffle and mopping up the floor. But when they see the glow up
We runnin up the score.
The irony of this chain is,
it's the one that make a nigga free
The iront of this chain is,
it's the one that make a nigga free.
