Chain
M.O.E. Lyrics

We built them up
We put these artists on a pedestal

We want these artists to be these artists
We expect these artists to act like who they are

Like these new artists, start acting like the hardest
We want these artists to emulate the more successful ones

Aye you get mad
People get angry

'Cause he's acting like an artist
Because they're acting like a stereotypical artist

It's exactly what he is
They're just being themselves

Uh, it's just one of them days you rocked the big chain
Some days you feel the need to wear your most impressive jewelry

Summer time no rain, you rocked the big chain
It's summer and the sun's out, so you show off your big chain

You just go to the club, you got the big chain
You wear your big chain to the club

Walked through show love, you got the big chain
People show you love when you rock the big chain

When you good in the hood, you got the big chain
When you're respected in your neighborhood, you can wear your big chain with pride

Sun dresses is out, you got the big chain
It's summertime and the girls are wearing sun dresses, so you wear your big chain

And you hitting the corner, you got the big chain
Even when you're just hanging out on the street corner, you still wear your big chain

Yeah you drink with the homies, you got the big chain
Even when you're just chilling with your friends, you still wear your big chain

Momma used to call me Dick Cheney 'cause I never took my chain off
I wore my chain all the time and never took it off

When I got my brain off
When I was high or drunk

Live by my old hood, I drop cocaine off
I still live near my old neighborhood and sell drugs there

Named my chain, "Chain Reaction"
I named my chain after the chemical reaction where one thing leads to another

'Cause when you see the chain, the chain start to flashin' (yo)
When people see my chain, they start taking notice

Yeah, everywhere I go this (yo)
People always look at me when I wear my chain

Dangerous like unprepared blow fish (yo)
I'm dangerous like an unprepared pufferfish

Your charm is whack, it ain't the same B (Your shit don't shine, this ain't the same piece)
Your jewelry isn't good - it doesn't sparkle like mine does

The jewelers go to jail for neglect
Some jewelers have gone to jail for not taking care of their customers

He froze when he saw what's on my neck
The jeweler was shocked when he saw my big chain

But I got your back, got the connect 'cause, uh
I'll help you get a good deal on a big chain

Alot of these dudes jewelers is lazy
Many of the jewelers these guys use are not good at their job

Just like they clients, they diamonds fugazi
Just like their customers, their diamonds are fake

Raphael of the chain, they got it broke off
The chain they bought from Raphael broke

Smoke blunts in the front, we have a smoke off (smoke off)
We smoke weed in public and compete to see who can smoke the most

Big chain, big charm since the 90's
I've been wearing big chains and charms since the 90's

Before I rocked the flatbush in the 90's
I had big chains before I started rapping in the 90's

Big chains for the grimies
Big chains are for tough guys

Shots of niggas that live shiny
I shoot people who flash their wealth

(Sierra Leone diamonds) you see me alone shining
My diamonds are from Sierra Leone and I look good wearing them by myself

(Sierra Leone diamonds) away from the crib it's still shining (yeah)
My diamonds still look great even when I'm away from home

Yo, switch names, call me big drip sauce
Call me Big Drip Sauce

Leave big stains, wet it like big rain
I leave my mark and get people wet just like heavy rain

Shit man, sound like Terrence Howard with a bitch staring
I sound like Terrence Howard and the women are staring at me

Blame it on the big chain
My big chain is the reason for my success

Cuban with the Jesus piece, big chain
I have both a Cuban link and a Jesus piece on my big chain

Put a lot of ice on that, big sprain
I put a lot of diamonds on my big chain, it's blinding

How's life? I'm great dog, Big Dane
Life is good, just like my big chain

Call me Daddy when I'm in it, Big Kane
Call me Big Kane when I'm dominating

Rope chain with a Nefertiti on it
I have a rope chain with a Nefertiti pendant

Gucci link looking like a CD on it
My Gucci link is so big it looks like a CD

Ask my nigga Pharrell
Ask Pharrell Williams about my big chain

Pull the cool J's out, and pass you niggas the L's, huh
I'll put on my LL Cool J sneakers and beat you guys

See you don't rock the big chain everyday
You don't wear your big chain every day

The big chain come out on special occasions, only
You only wear your big chain on special occasions

Ya figure smell that and just because you don't got a big chain don't mean you don't gotta feel like you ain't got a big chain
Just because you don't have a big chain doesn't mean you can't feel like you have one

B, having a big chain is a feeling
Having a big chain makes you feel good

You gon' wake up in the morning and feel good and feel like you got a big chain
Wearing your big chain will make you feel good about yourself

Ya feel that
Do you understand?

Respect
Show respect
