NOT NOW KANYE, THIS IS 2 CHAINZ’S MOMENT. Even in death, I shall continue to live through others. He cannot be 2 Chainz without either chain. From this day forward he decides to wear two chains around his neck as a reminder that every living being is interconnected. Even if life is intrinsically without purpose, he can create meaning by his interactions with the external world. True to my religion, two of everything I'm too differentĪ breakthrough! 2 Chainz realizes the importance of duality in life. Let every atom of myself travel the easterly winds, exploring the world, filling infinite spaces, fusing with everything. Scatter my ashes into the wind so that I become nothing.
