Ball And Chain Lyrics - Charity Starts At Home - Phonte

She holds me down 

She holds me up 

She licks my wounds 

Then cuts me deep 

She tells me stay 

Then plans to leave 

She is my cure 

And my disease 

And it's so complicated 

Cuz I hate myself for feeling this way 

These walls used to protect me 

Now they're closing in, yeah 

She keeps me so secure 

Until I can't escape 

So unpredictable that it's all the same 

I knew the moment when 

Your anchor turned into a ball and chain 

And it's oh so plain 

As clear as eyes can see 

The greatest happiness 

This side of misery 

Ain't nothing wrong with having both feet on the ground 

Until you look around and realize that you are bound 

Realize that you have drowned in a sea of security 

That leads to complacency now tell me how that sound 

You tell me how you found your way back to the turnout 

When your love flames burn out now your house looking smoky 

Like the teardrops of a clown, 

just wanna live in peace 

But can't show too many teeth cuz she'll take shots at your crown 

POW, another shot another man down 

So I'm back on my Moe Dee shit, how you like me now 

Back on my public speak shit, talking to the crowd 

Standing tall, front and center when I'm finished take a bow
