How Did We Get Here? (feat. CeeLo Green)

Now that I'm rich
I'm gonna go there and meet him
And pay the price for my freedom
Wouldn't that be nice?
And now that I'm rich
I'm gonna be my slave master's neighbor
I'm gonna sit at the table
Hey, pass the beans and rice

How did we go from whips and chains to whips and chains?
How did we go from whips and chains to whips and chains?
But my car keys can't unlock me
My car keys can't unlock me, oh
(Blaze, throw some cash on 'em)

I fucked it up

Everybody know that I fucked it up (Fucked it up)
Man of the house, I wasn't good enough (Good enough)
Pain in the cup, I had filled it up (Pain)
Cookin' up dope, I had cut it up (Cut it up)
Fucked up my past tryna level up (Past)
Addicted to hoes, fucked a family of hoes
But I had to walk around showin' no pain

All in my feelings and they callin' me lame (Lame)
Got a mask on and the mask say "Shame" (Mask)
Brother died then I had broke up game (Die)
Prayin' to God the fame don't change (God)
Prayin' to God that I stay sane (God)
'Member the times I was locked in the chains (Chains)
Actin' invisible, part of the game
I got three Ks, the Ku Klux Klan (Ha)

Ridin' in the Ghost, got whips and chains (Whips and chains)
Man, I fucked shit off

Then the family got lost (Then the family got lost)
I been prayin' to the cross (I been prayin' to the cross)
I been prayin' to the Lord (I been prayin' to the Lord)
Tryna hear somethin', everything void (Void)
I been tryin' but I keep comin' short (I been tryin')
Everything my fault, my choice (My fault)

Now that I'm rich
I'm gonna date your daughter
And have some grandchildren for ya
Yeah, a few of them
And now that I'm rich
And our family's blended
Knowin' you has been splendid
But the old days died with him

How did we go from whips and chains to whips and chains?
How did we go from whips and chains to whips and chains?
But my car keys can't unlock me
My car keys can't unlock me, oh

Oh, a closed mind is prison
And you are locked in there, mm
