[Verse 1]
Silver chains on my wrist
Big bars in the mist
Cop lights on the bricks
Helicopter circling quick
New York on my back
East Coast in the sack
Stay strong, never slack
One look, whole block react
Prison warrant list long
Still I move like I’m gone
Suffolk PD on the phone
Nassau PD watch the tone
Every move got a scan
Every word got a plan
Gangster made, no fan
Built this out the sand
[Pre-Chorus]
They keep watching
I keep locked in
Tight grip, cold grin
Still I don’t bend
They keep watching
I keep locked in
Chain swing, head high
I came up again
[Chorus]
Silver chains, silver chains
Big bars, big bars
They keep watching me
From the cars to the dark
Silver chains, silver chains
Big bars, big bars
East Coast, strong soul
I was built for the storm
[Verse 2]
No sleep for the hunted
Every room felt crowded
Names on a paper
But my name stay shouted
I done seen the block shift
Seen the whole plot twist
Still my fist stay crisp
Still my voice stay fixed
They want fear in my face
I give steel, give pace
One step, no race
I’m a whole new case
Suffolk on the tail
Nassau on the trail
I don’t fold, I don’t fail
I just rise through the pale
[Pre-Chorus]
They keep watching
I keep locked in
Tight grip, cold grin
Still I don’t bend
They keep watching
I keep locked in
Chain swing, head high
I came up again
[Chorus]
Silver chains, silver chains
Big bars, big bars
They keep watching me
From the cars to the dark
Silver chains, silver chains
Big bars, big bars
East Coast, strong soul
I was built for the storm
[Bridge]
If they call, let them call
I been through it all
Every wall got a mark
Every scar got a spark
[Chorus]
Silver chains, silver chains
Big bars, big bars
They keep watching me
From the cars to the dark
Silver chains, silver chains
Big bars, big bars
East Coast, strong soul
I was built for the storm
