INVISIBLE CHAINS

[Chorus: IJALE]
I was down bad, I was really fallen
I was so low, the postcode Bikini Bottom
But I saw the light and heard the freedom callin'
Now I'm chasin' that dream like a bee to pollen
I'ma get it rain, hail, sleet or snow
I'ma stay in the street like my feet are froze
Know it's me soon as they peep the prose
Put on for my people, defeat the foes
Yeah, invisible chains on my wrist
Invisible chains on my neck
This can't be as good as it get
Nigga, we breakin' the locks, uh
Put some respect on my set
We wasn't askin' for lots, nah
Now we ain't askin' for shit, huh

[Verse 1: IJALE]
I finally got me a bottom bitch
Put a deposit down for my own pot to piss
I want property I don't want rocky wrists
On second thoughts, I want a lot of shit
Let's start with equality, yeah
Endin' the murders in custody, yeah
That doesn't sound like a lot to me, yeah
If you ain't with it, you a op to me, yeah, yeah
That's generation trauma (Trauma)
Looked at Sherry and I saw my momma
The judges could help if they wanna
That's why I'm never gon' call 'em your honor
But nothin' can save em' from karma
It's got a stick that's longer than the arm of the law
And yeah you know what it's for
The coppers is killin' us
Who would you call?

[Chorus: IJALE]
I was down bad, I was really fallen
I was so low, the postcode Bikini Bottom
But saw the light and heard the freedom callin'
Now I'm chasin' that dream like a bee to pollen
I'ma get it rain, hail, sleet or snow
I'ma stay in the street like my feet are froze
Know it's me soon as they peep the prose
Put on for my people, defeat the foes
Yeah, invisible chains on my wrist
Invisible chains on my neck
This can't be as good as it get
Nigga, we breakin' the locks, uh
Put some respect on my set
We wasn't askin' for lots, nah
Now we ain't askin' for shit, huh

[Verse 2: Mr Rhodes]
Same talk, rainfall, been
Waitin' online but you can't talk
You screamed lookin' for change
But went quiet as soon as the cams gone
You stand up or get stepped on
Hands up when they guns drawn
Our people been fightin' this daily
Why my melanin drivin' them crazy?
What can I say, what can we say?
I'm done repeatin' myself on the daily
I need a break, we need to break
These invisible chains that they gave us
Made us the villains, we livin' to get some respect
Keep spreadin' that hate, and you're gonna get hit
We bringin' that fire, still stuck in the thick
Just prayin' that they'll let us breathe when it's said and done

[Verse 3: IJALE]
Ended up switchin' the style 'cause I had to
Pivoted damn near broke a nigga ankle
Really I feel like there's nothin' I can't do
Look at all the obstacles I done ran through
I got these knots on my brain like a bantu
If you ain't 'bout it can't understand you
We really came a long way from them canned food dinners
Youngest of four in a family of winners, we did it, yeah

[Chorus: IJALE]
Invisible chains on my wrist
Invisible chains on my neck
This can't be as good as it get
Nigga we breakin' the locks, uh
Put some respect on my set
We wasn't askin' for lots, nah
Now we ain't askin' for shit, huh
Ayy, invisible chains on my wrist
Invisible chains on my neck
You wear an identical set, aye
Nigga, we breakin' the locks, uh
Put some respect on my flesh
We wasn't askin' for lots, nah
Now we ain't askin' for shit, huh
