Ball & Chain

I'd point a finger But I failed to decide My love for music got me trapped I followed the blind A thorn in the flesh Oh hence the independence I learnt my lesson Trusting people with my dream I was naive, I gotta admit What was I thinking You give 'em one hunnid You're easily deceived But I'm not mad Logic disregards emotions I'm helping myself I've been a dog that was chasing its tail Wasting my time and blame it on God What would you do If His name was a part of it Oohh, thought I would mize it? Nah, hurt me so bad Still devastated, looking at the hourglass If you're holding me back I'm cutting ties Now lemme tell you Only the pot knows how hot the fire is Not even the cook I'm feeling pain and nobody knows Not even my crew Oops I forgot, I don't got one I cut the ball and chain But more than everything I'm learning how to be me Wanna make Putlane proud I spent more time in a crowd Made a lotta people proud but myself Made a lotta people proud but myself Oh what a bummer, oh what a bummer If few years ago I knew what I know now Maybe I'd be too far But I got attached Now adios amigos You know what I mean I'm doing me I'm turning down propositions If it's not under Babel Then I don't partake I do not care, I've been a part of your plans That held me back Did me no good That was a ball and chain Keeping me in the same place Not worried 'bout pace But I wanna progress I'm talking dream chasing, propelling Miss me with the nonsense I'm not available I pray to God I forgive I pray to God that I heal Focus my eyes to the hill This is the process This is the process Now lemme tell you Only the pot knows how hot the fire is Not even the cook I'm feeling pain and nobody knows Not even my crew Oops I forgot, I don't got one I cut the ball and chain But more than everything I'm learning how to be me Wanna make Putlane proud I spent more time in a crowd Made a lotta people proud but myself Made a lotta people proud but myself Oh what a bummer, oh what a bummer
