Ronnie Dylan - These Chains [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

(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 killing 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 shit 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
