verse 1
starting with the notion every lesson will be taught?
it ends up hitting hard when those instructions can’t be bought
it caught up with me late, i never saw just how distraught
my poor lonely mother was & how viciously she fought
before i was a thought, before my brother was conceived
she felt the loss of a child & saw her first husband leave
she was daddy’s little girl who always had a need
born in communist cuba, my grandparent’s only seed
made it into the states back in 1958
out in search for a life with more than just rations on a plate
i can only imagine man the struggle in those times
the hunger they had felt, the sweat they poured out for dimes
then to touch down in a country that’s so big on selling dreams
different poison, same greed, same evil, different schemes
escaping outta one h-ll, to be captured in the next
my grandpa worked himself to death to feel the paper from them check

hook (gemini genesis & rob wade)
it’s hard enough to find a grind that won’t make you lose your mind without the risk of doing time so if you
hear me yell
don’t be surprised when you take a look into my eyes & you see the rage that’s caged inside from the times i’ve
faced this h-ll
will the pain ever subside?
will the chains become untied?
walk with me, be my guide, help me
break this spell
i know you feel that hunger, don’t let it take you under
yet & still i wonder, was it easier being younger?

verse 2
going back to change it all? i guess there’s times i wish i could have
coming up within the streets? not much out there that i could grab
survival’s learned by living, not from reading through what books have
so i hustled on the ave, took it all & never looked back
it was hard for me to deal, went to 3 high schools within the course of a year
said f-ck the jay’s, f-ck the gear, i was grinding for my next meal
mom was on the edge, mixing sleeping pills & beer
she must’ve wanted to disappear
i was always on the move, getting high to stay immune
trying not to get consumed by the pain that she was going through
grandma in a nursing home, dementia had her withering away
those 40s & those ls kept me picturing the day
where i no longer had to hide the demons k!lling me inside
still with no one by my side i pushed the thoughts of suicide
i made it through the worst to be here writing down these verses
but i would go back in reverse to see my family out them he-rs-s
