This rhyme made me think

[Tirunih]

"And put some chain on my niggas like i own slaves"

I dunno if J.Cole had any meaning behind this particular rhyme.. But boi it's a deep rhyme.Chains is a popular thing amongst the black community in the US & UK.. Do you think it symbolizes something?like do you think it's a way of saying that blacks will never be in control of what their doing, regardless of their riches.Or even, does it subconsciously point out that behind a successful black man there is a white man,which could mean that the racist white man will always be the puppet master amongst successful blacks ?What do you lot think?

It's just a suggestion smaddyi'm not saying this is what i believe in. I've only started thinking deep about this rhyme after my singing lessons.

The whip/chain doublemeaning is a contender for the most over-used wordplay in hip-hop
