Chains Lyrics by R.A. The Rugged Man

Die, Rugged Man, Die

2004

[Intro: Killah Priest (Masta Killa)]
Let it flow, deh-deh-duh (Yeah)
It's on (Beh-deh-deh-deh)
(Den-e-neh) on... (Yo, ayo)
[Hook]
Keep on knowing what you know
Keep on knowing what you know
End up, up, up, in chains, chains, chains
[Verse 1: Masta Killa]
Back in '88, son was getting a little paper
Caught a few stings, rocked the phat rope cables
Pushed the white Mercury Sable, known for holding heat
Ferragamo moc's on his feet, serpents whisper
You can smell the deceit, they greet me like peeps, to blend
And try to befriend, to get up underneath the skin
My long wind'll blow your head piece degrees
Murder One Team, Barcelini Noodle had lean
Microphone fiend, step into the rhythm
This is how I'm serving them, no need for medic attention
I just murder them, murder them, pussy, I just murder them
[Hook]
Keep on knowing what you know
Keep on knowing what you know
End up, up, up, in chains, chains, chains
[Verse 2: R.A. the Rugged Man]
I'm a dip-dip diver, socializer
I'm a who flat top rule, in eighty niner
They say "Rugged, by now you should have at least blown!"
It's funny, I'm mad famous for being unknown
I'm just a dirty motherfucker, they hate my guts
All I talk about is bitches and busting nuts
Yeah, I got a foul mouth, yeah, I cuss too much
I'm just so Ricky Ricardo, ridiculous
And I ain't got no fly whip, I still ride the bus
I got Mitch Blood Green on the scene with us
Hospitable, hittable, cooler than Digable, criminal
Miracle, lyrical, take every syllable literal
It'll riddle, profitable, visible, irritable
Little brittle pitiful fists will do little but tickle, you typical
Yeah, I talk shit, I'm cocky with it
It's hard for you to admit it, but I'm one of the best in it
[Hook]
Keep on knowing what you know
Keep on knowing what you know
End up, up, up, in chains, chains, chains
[Verse 3: Killah Priest]
My mind is haunted, filled with the extension of slaves
That's torment, slow down my steps, one foot from the grave
To carnage, our young black males, they lick pon gay
Sun of the morning, roasted souls, tell Minister come pray
It's gun trade inside of smoky apartments
Flow process, one nine, two TECs, four revolvers
Coke overboiling kettles, it's like we struck oil in the ghettos
We supply it to addicts, the Devil work
He practice, he's like a search backwards
Till they throw that dirt in our casket and that's it
I live where the fiends are nothing, just a scene of the projects
Similar to Osama's
An old man, at the top of the stairs, he just stare
Cause his mind ain't there, victim of the war
Polar signs, the times is near
He drop the jewels till you buy him a beer
He said he was a linebacker for the Bears
Said he did it all back, while he's drying his tears
Yeah, it's that real shit, that made me
That music from the '80s, the childs of the '70s
I live long till they bury me
