Jake Crocker - These Chains lyrics

(Verse 1) Uhh, I hear some higher power thinking about it But I feel those lows when I'm sinking down in... I feel like I'm the bottom of every totem pole That's why I say a prayer every time I smoke a bowl Cause' I got folks whose only focus is on my success And while that sounds ordinary I tell ya why I'm stressed Cause' less rope given is less rope pulled And I could hang my self from everything that I was told These high standards that I was pampered and privileged in Gon be the same reason why I commit these sins again I resent yall ignorance, I respect bliss Just cause' you cut the check don't mean you check your kids So every once in a while, tell me you're loving your child Show me your willing to help, I'm k**ing myself, feeling denial I'm not gonna lie, my life is worth more than tuition is And that's a problem for you, that's why I resort to this (Hook) Individualism, a brand new religion The ones in the dark are the ones who gon' listen Run again, ask when we no longer living Ahh man, I'mma break these chains Individualism, a brand new religion The ones in the dark are the ones who gon' listen Run again, ask when we no longer living Ahh man, I'mma break these chains (Verse 2) I can't help but be reminded of my older brother Like How would he react to half of the sh** you told me mother And if he was still alive I guarantee that wouldn't be me That you're living your own life through cause' now you're losing me I'm making choices that reflect neglect and buried anger I'm making a point that I hate being in front of a pointed finger I gotta be a born a sinner, the way that I'm treated while eating my dinner I'm making decisions while drinking, smoking, choking on paint thinner Cause' it ain't that simple for me to consider different options When we both need the help, I've seen what's in your closet I've seen you stashing whats in your cabinets and cabernets Thats where I get my re-up from, forget these alley ways Forget this broken family half the time I feed myself Don't even see my dad, Who'd hate to ask if I needed help So give me whats deep in the shelf, let me relieve my pain Leave me alone, this ain't a home, I need to break these chains (Hook) Individualism, a brand new religion The ones in the dark are the ones who gon' listen Run again, ask when we no longer living Ahh man, I'mma break these chains Individualism, a brand new religion The ones in the dark are the ones who gon' listen Run again, ask when we no longer living Ahh man, I'mma break these chains
