Working On That Chain - Gangstagrass

You can build yourself a prison

A chain of your own design

With cold steel and iron

Or gold and silver fine

Every day you make your choices

Money, fame or power

And the chain gets ever longer

With every misspent hour

And I’m still out here working, working, working…

Working on that chain

You can try to bring the world together

Build a bridge across the sea

And though it takes a lifetime

If you believe it, it can be

Every selfless act of kindness

When you give more than you gain

That’s a hammer on the anvil

And a link upon the chain

And I’m still out here working, working, working…

Working on that chain

(Dolio The Sleuth)

Every inch is essential

Work hard, study up to cultivate the mental

Pushing ever forward up against the opposition

Steadily building, moving forward on my mission

Sharpening my vision

The chain motivates me

Every swing strengthening my arms till I break these

Searching through the links for the cracks they’re creating

Destiny presents an opportunity for taking my own destination

Waking up the latent abilities within me

Sacred sounds I create channel all the energy

Moving incrementally, achieving it eventually

The roadmap to the goal committed it to memory

Visions sent to me, let me know the time’s right

Ancestors showing me the errors in the hindsight

Spirits in the distance screaming at me «Get your mind right

Keep pushing and prepare for the divine right.»

When you fall in darkest waters

When disaster strikes you down

Tell me what will be your fate then

Will you swim or will you drown

Will they drag you to the bottom

Or pull you up and set you free

Look at the chains you’re building

And tell me what you see

And I’m still out here working, working, working…

Working on that chain

Yard by yard, and link by link

Working on that chain

Ain’t as hard as you think

Working on that chain

Working on that chain
