Generational Chains

Breaking generational chains

You'll never feel this pain

It's hard to explain this pain

Without going insane

I must refrain from what's really on my mind

Cause it seems that I'm running out of time

Fine

You really wanna know what's bothering me?

You know how it feels to see your brother dead in the street?

Begging to breathe

Calling for his mother

His cries, being smothered

By an officer's knee

Nigga please.
