I realized the pain of our generation
It's the same the swept across the nation
It left us in emotional stagnation
And in turn led to our self-degradation
The system planted the seeds of dysfunction
Making a profit off of familial separation
A systematic plague of their creation
We've been led astray, miseducation.
My father was scarred by love and couldn't face the abyss
My grandfather tried to correct those wrongs with me, and I promise he didn't miss-
I reminisce about the times I held loved ones close
I would move mountains for them, I learned this lesson from ghosts
Generational trauma that sealed away love
The key to unlock it was from above
Taysia, Sin, and my grandmother from my father's side
They gave me the strength to love.
When she passed away it left a mark on his heart
He never moved past it and never tried to heal
My mother became a victim so it's hard to feel
That my parents did me wrong, they only kept it real.
Self-contained mechanisms manifested self-loathing
I am a wolf wrapped up in sheep's clothing-
The hosing of our people they prey upon our pain
So, they told us all our savior is financial gain.
That's why our ancestors chose to teach us about ownership-
If we own the ship, they can't tell us how to run this shit.
As a Native American I'm disgusted by their agenda
Clarity delivered me love while they delivered propaganda.
The government has done nothing but exacerbate hurt
Instead of giving us what we needed, a cure
But now we have the keys to achieve what we should procure
This is our country,they're visitors and that's for sure.
