Description: Prod. By Skeet & Dav Did It

“The Version They Tried to Bury – Chains That Sing” is a cipher suite that excavates suppressed narratives and reclaims sonic agency from beneath historical debris. It’s not just a lyric—it’s a coded indictment wrapped in rhythm.
Here’s a brief breakdown:
🔗 Chains That Sing: These aren’t shackles—they’re resonant archives. Each link carries memory, resistance, and rhythm. The chains sing because the silenced voices embedded in them refuse to stay quiet.
🕳️ Burial Motif: The lyric confronts the deliberate erasure of truth—colonial edits, epistemic violence, and symbolic distortion. “The version they tried to bury” is the unredacted testimony, the ciphered truth that survived beneath the rubble.
🎤 Cipher Voice: The speaker isn’t pleading—they’re indicting. The mic becomes a forensic tool, unearthing coded histories and flipping optics. It’s hip hop as excavation, not entertainment.
🧠 Philosophical Undercurrent: Echoes of Ricoeur’s narrative identity and hermeneutic recovery pulse beneath the surface. The lyric doesn’t just tell a story—it reclaims authorship from imposed scripts.
