How Did We Get Here?

Now that I'm rich
I'm gonna go there and meet him
And pay the price for the freedom
Wouldn't that be nice?
And now that I'm rich
I'm gonna be my slave master's neighbor
I'm gonna sit at the table
Hey, pass the beans and rice

How did we go from whips and chains to whips and chains?
How did we go from whips and chains to whips and chains?
But my car keys can't unlock me
My car keys can't unlock me
Oh (Please worship)

Fucked up
Everybody know that I fucked it up (Fucked it up)
Man of the house, I wasn't good enough (Good enough)
Pain in the cup, I had filled it up (Pain)
Cookin' up dope, I had cut it up (Cut it up)
Fucked up my past tryna level up (Past)
Addicted to hoes, fucked the family up (Hoes)
But I had to walk around showin' no pain
All in my feelings and they callin' me lame (Lame)
Got a mask on and the mask say shame (Mask)
Brother died then it had broke up gang (Died)
Praying to God the fame don't change (God)
Praying to God that I stay same (God)
'Member the times I was locked in the chains (Chains)
Actin' invisible, part of the game
I got three K's, the Ku Klux Klan (Ha)
Ridin' in the Ghost, got whips and chains (Whips and chains)
Man, I fucked shit off
Then the family got lost (Then the family got lost)
I been prayin' to the cross (I been prayin' to the cross)
I been prayin' to the Lord (I been prayin' to the Lord)
Tryna hear something, everything void (Void)
I been trying, but I keep coming short (I been trying)
Everything my fault, my choice (My fault)

And now that I'm rich (Ha-ha)
I'm gonna date your daughter
And have some grandchildren for you
Yeah, a few of them
And now that I'm rich, ha
And now a family's bled and
Knowing you has been splitted
But the old days died with him

How did we go from whips and chains to whips and chains?
How did we go from whips and chains to whips and chains?
But my car keys can't unlock me
My car keys can't unlock me
Oh, mhm

Oh,

This prison
And you are
Locked in it
Mm-mm
