@Existantia i took the double meaning as... today young people call their cars (whips) and their necklaces (chains) which today is used as a representation of their wealth and social status. Black people will go broke trying to look good or out do the next person, but in all actuality all it is doing is mentally enslaving them, because they become dependent on those things, which become the modern day weapons of mind control just like the whips and chains were back in the day to control slaves

"every time I write a slave poem my paper bleeds" that line was hard

@Existantia When he says that the historical use of "whips and chains" and the contemporary slang use of "whips and chains" are symmetrical, he is suggesting that while African American youth (in some aspects youth in general) haven't physically become slaves, they have psychologically become slaves to an ideology of financial excesses rather than one that supports progressiveness towards sociological change.
