Generational Curse Lyrics

I was raised by momma with no guidance from my father

He never came around cause all we do is fight and argue

Used to spend them holiday and summers with him often

But as I got way older all I'd do is cause him problems

The volumes high in my headphones I get lost in

The music I play softens the reality that darkens

It seems the life I live has me coming short on options

So sick of this rat race and lack of space in this apartment

Catch me out at Southfield we stayed running through the breezeway

I never knew no different see that welfare had no lead way

We stood in line the center gave us cheese that last like three days

We tore stamps from books sometimes the bills we paid would be late

We spent nights no lights and not because the switch or relay

Phone was out of service couldn't call my friends on three way

Momma tried her best we'd misbehave and take what she'd lay

Could've of been a belt a hand a switch she'd swing it each way

Often we'd ignore whatever discipline that she'd say

Lessons were mistakes that we had to relearn each day

We'd do what we wanted no regard no care see back then

I was boosting clothes to keep up with the latest fashions

Dabbling in drugs might've tried to move some packs in

Learned to cook up dope the house all smelt like burning plastic

I did what I had to when them times became so drastic

Hate to work the factory never thought I'd make it rapping

Spent too much no backing seems the math was never mathing

Raps had too much capping the return was merely fractions

Too busy chasing after trifling women bout that action

Should've lost it all though I'm so grateful for what happened

I'm trying to break this curse the generational attachment

The longer it stays latched in makes it worse and that just facts and

Grew up with so little I thought poor was like an accent

Refuse to settle back into old habits time for action

Gave my life to Christ and he removed all the distractions

Placed my feet on solid ground and now I've gained more traction

My souls was settlement for the accord and satisfaction

And I know the reward is in the form something absent

Something more eternal seems like heavens the attraction

My family's my support and for them their ain't slacking

I'm trying to break this curse to where it never can come back in

The longer is around its more than likely it could happen

It's time to change the outcome as we seek after adaption

Give it all to God so we can watch him work his magic
