[Intro – spoken, low tone]
Yeah… I don’t even smoke for the high no more…
It’s just to feel normal.
[Hook – melodic rap]
I’m chained to the green, can’t break away
Wake up every morn’, gotta smoke just to stay
Sayin’ “this the last time,” but I lie to my face
Feelin’ withdrawals when I try to escape
Green chains, yeah, they pullin’ me down
Roll another blunt, tryna kill what I found
In my chest, in my head, all this pain I hide
But the smoke don’t heal, it just clouds my mind
[Verse 1 – confessional rap]
Sweat drippin’ when I try to quit
Hands shakin’, stomach twistin’, I’m sick
Thought it was harmless, just a little relief
Now it’s all that I crave, got me feelin’ so weak
Friends say “man, it ain’t that deep”
But they don’t see the nights I can’t fall asleep
Eyes red, brain fried, and I still roll up
Prayin’ one more hit’s gonna fill my cup
[Bridge – whispered / layered vocals with melodic harmonies]
Oooh, I’m not the same…
Oooh, trapped in this game…
Can’t breathe, can’t dream, can’t find peace
Weed got me tied like a leash
[Hook – repeat with more grit]
I’m chained to the green, can’t break away
Wake up every morn’, gotta smoke just to stay
Sayin’ “this the last time,” but I lie to my face
Feelin’ withdrawals when I try to escape
Green chains, yeah, they pullin’ me down
Roll another blunt, tryna kill what I found
In my chest, in my head, all this pain I hide
But the smoke don’t heal, it just clouds my mind
[Verse 2 – raw emotional rap]
Told my girl I’ma quit, yeah, I promised again
But the pressure in my chest made me call up a friend
Got an eighth in the bag just to numb my brain
But the high don’t last, only feeds my pain
Every cough feels like I’m losin’ years
Every drag just coverin’ tears
It’s a cycle, I hate, but I can’t let go
Feelin’ empty inside, yeah, she already know
[Hook – final chorus, layered vocals]
I’m chained to the green, can’t break away
Wake up every morn’, gotta smoke just to stay
Sayin’ “this the last time,” but I lie to my face
Feelin’ withdrawals when I try to escape
Green chains, yeah, they pullin’ me down
Roll another blunt, tryna kill what I found
In my chest, in my head, all this pain I hide
But the smoke don’t heal, it just clouds my mind
[Outro – whispered with reverb]
Yeah… it don’t heal me…
It just hides me.
