It's generational
It's spiritual
It's a way to live
It's the blatant truth
It's the pain I felt
The love I never knew
This life a battleground
I'm tryna make it through
It's generational
It's spiritual
It's a way to live
It's the blatant truth
It's the pain I felt
The love I never knew
This life a battleground
I'm tryna make it through
It's lessons that I never learned
Questions I wanna ask
Convos I wish we had
Chances I can't get back
Memories made on my own
My competitive home
Victories shared with no one
Not knowing where to go
My pride is steady showing
Prejudice steady growing
My ego can't ignore
Status I can't afford
What I'm pursuing for?
Women, money, or applause
Reason why I want it all
It helps me feel more secure
Really what's mine is yours
Trauma was not a choice
Family's a crash course
Hazards on the dashboard
Speeding tryna fast forward
Be careful what you ask for
Drinking late at night got me reflecting on my past wars
When did we go off track?
It hurts and makes me mad more
And can I find an answer for my dreams that's hard to grab?
Aye it's not hard to blame you but I know you feel the same too
Damaged parents raised you and prophetic scriptures came true
We listen to the same songs it's like we in the same booth
We 30 years apart but we both healing from the same wounds
What pain do
It's generational
It's spiritual
It's a way to live
It's the blatant truth
It's the pain I felt
The love I never knew
This life a battleground
I'm tryna make it through
It's generational
It's spiritual
It's a way to live
It's the blatant truth
It's the pain I felt
The love I never knew
This life a battleground
I'm tryna make it through
It's hard to be an angel in a world full of demons
Telling me what I can't do like I'm 'posed to believe it
Fighting these temptations and vices I don't need
Attracted to too much weed and infinite porn scenes
Bringing me some relief
I need me some dopamine
Just need to feel like a king
I keep tryna breathe deep
I lust before I think
Repent then I repeat
I'm praying for better days
I trust that I'ma see 'em
I'm looking inside myself and singing into these beats
This stress get out the way it's old plus I don't need it
It's better I learn from it than lock it in a museum
Sometimes it's my only comfort and I could hardly believe it
This life got no instructions if so nobody read 'em
We just avoid discussion get paid then point the finger
I guess this my solution it's on me to find my freedom
In jest I make comparisons it's always me verses me
I reflect on past projections of where I think I should be
And it's like 10,000 hours 360 degrees
And I know them Clicquot showers can't help wash my spirit clean
But I still pour out a fountain for family I'll never see
And I still pour out my heart 'cause I use it to fuel my dreams
And you know nothing worth having was ever meant to come easy
Each new level I'm passing I'm breathing a little easier
Each curse it gets subtracted from that I'm a firm believer
I hope when we look back we feel better 'bout what we see
Aye hear this then hit me after I'
M learning each time we speak forreal
It's generational
It's spiritual
It's a way to live
It's the blatant truth
It's the pain I felt
The love I never knew
This life a battleground
I'm tryna make it through
It's generational
It's spiritual
It's a way to live
It's the blatant truth
It's the pain I felt
The love I never knew
This life a battleground
I'm tryna make it through
All of these things are byproducts, right
They contribute to the anger
Pain
The pain of being abandoned by your dad, by your mom
You know
By your community, your people
The pain of the things you might have went through in your community
Like how many of us have not been victims of people in our community
That harmed us for no reason
That robbed us, hurt us, did all type of things to us
Right?
It's anger and pain
You know most people who've been abused become the abuser
A lot of dudes don't even get this, man
A lot of dudes don't even get this
