[Verse 1] You point at the beast, then you feed it Sell pain with a grin, then you read it Talk freedom, then rent out the cage Turn hunger to content on a stage You curse the machine for the damage Then you feed it your face for the manage You say “they destroy human worth” Then you price every tear from the earth How many children did profit wake? How many full plates did your hands make? Tell me, did you ever go thin? Did your ribs ever learn where hope has been? Or you just learned the pose, the angle, the brand The camera loves truth with a ring on your hand You say “I’m for the people,” loud in the night But the bill comes due and you dim the light [Pre-Chorus] Rolling tears down the floor Rolling stones to the door Shadow-banned when it’s real Outshined by a gold wheel [Chorus] Gold chain gospel, who are you? Gold chain gospel, what is true? You shout “the system” to sell the fire Then build your throne on the same desire Gold chain gospel, say it plain Profit for profit, that’s your name Rolling tears, rolling stones You found your chain and called it home [Verse 2] You take the wound and make it merchandise Wrap up the truth in a market disguise Turn every mother’s cry into a hook Then act surprised when nobody looks You got Rolls through the mud, moving fast But the road you chose was built to last Not for the poor, not for the tired Just for the wolf in a borrowed choir You wear gold chains like a sermon line But they pull at your neck every time You call it success, I call it strain A shiny leash with a private plane And when the hungry come close to your door You say “not my lane,” then ask for more Tell me, singer, if you stand so tall Why the ones with nothing never see you fall? [Pre-Chorus] Rolling tears down the floor Rolling stones to the door Shadow-banned when it’s real Outshined by a gold wheel [Chorus] Gold chain gospel, who are you? Gold chain gospel, what is true? You shout “the system” to sell the fire Then build your throne on the same desire Gold chain gospel, say it plain Profit for profit, that’s your name Rolling tears, rolling stones You found your chain and called it home [Bridge] Ask yourself in the mirror light How many empty bowls felt right? How many starving souls you fed? How many nights you gave your bread? If hunger ever lived in your chest You’d know what it means to fail the test Not every crown is made of gold Some are the weight of the stories told [Final Chorus] Gold chain gospel, who are you? Gold chain gospel, what is true? You shout “the system” to sell the fire Then build your throne on the same desire Gold chain gospel, say it plain Profit for profit, that’s your name Rolling tears, rolling stones You found your chain and called it home Gold chain gospel, burn the mask Truth don’t bend for a sales-tax stack If you sing for the people, prove it now Not with the mouth, but the hands, somehow
