KayBee COG - Ball & Chain Lyrics

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
