T'Challa poppin, never colonize 'round the high-fives for the top God, made us dangerous
Eight of us, flame with us, every idol bring to us, gangs of us
Trained to trust and man that's bloodstains of us Christ gained us

Look at my neck
No chains, no shame, rapper
Yeah come get your opinion they don't matter
Money or the faith I chose the latter
Ohh, I can see them trying to keep us on the outside now
We pull up and watch them scatter yeah
Running through the woo (ay)
Heaven got a playlist
I promise that's my favorite placement (woo)
Faithful over famous
Yeah faithful over famous
New rappers that's sure to blow are really drug addicts with a studio
You gotta pop pills on the usual then that paradise ain't really coolio
If your world is really that flames then why you always high, tryna to escape?
Gram flexin' that's too fake and them money phones really money loans
And that real life is you coming home, empty house and a heart of stone
Bad chick super savage but for a bigger bag she moving on
Oh yeah you making moves but these folks don't really love you
Industry only love dudes that they can use, don't be confused
Interviews that don't tip toe
Go and check my info
His glory that's simple
Riding around with that tempo
That's liberal that's conservative, that's charismatic and reformed too
My wife happy and Jesus love me ain't nothing left to conform to
Haha (no chains on me, I got no chains on me)
I was running with the set
Running with the set
We don't ever flex we just rep
Hear me, what did you expect?
I don't need respect
I'm the threat
Tell em I'm so free I got no chains on me
I'm so free I got no chains homie
Nappy hair, nappy hair, no shame, homie
I'm so free I got no chains on me

KB - No Chains
Meaning & Inspiration
KB's powerful single, "No Chains," released in April 2018 as a standalone track, serves as a profound declaration of spiritual liberation and a testament to the transformative power of faith. The song plunges directly into the core of what it means to be freed from the bondage of sin and the struggles that bind us, painting a vivid picture of a life unshackled by the world's expectations and internal battles. This isn't just a catchy tune; it's a deeply theological exploration of freedom found in Christ, echoing the ancient promise of deliverance.
The central theme of "No Chains" resonates with the profound truth articulated by Jesus himself in John 8:36: "So if the Son sets you free, you are free indeed." KB masterfully unpacks this concept, presenting freedom not as an absence of external conflict, but as an internal victory secured through surrender to God. The narrative within the song speaks to the profound shift from living under the weight of personal failings and the enemy's whispers to embracing the unburdened life of a believer. This echoes the Apostle Paul's assertion in Romans 7:24-25, where he laments his own struggle with sin before finding redemption: "Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!" "No Chains" embodies that very gratitude and breakthrough.
The message is grounded in the scriptural understanding of redemption, where believers are no longer slaves to sin but are adopted into God's family. This is powerfully mirrored in Galatians 4:7, which states, "So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God." KB’s declaration of freedom aligns with this divine inheritance, suggesting a release from the dominion of past mistakes and the oppressive grip of negativity. The song acts as an anthem for those who have experienced this spiritual emancipation, a reminder that the chains that once held them captive have been broken through the sacrifice of Jesus. It’s a call to recognize and live in the full measure of the freedom Christ offers, a freedom that allows for authentic worship and unhindered pursuit of God's will, as depicted in passages like 2 Corinthians 3:17: "Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom." "No Chains" is a powerful, scripturally informed expression of this ultimate liberty.
