Pedigree Lyrics

Lately I've been thinking about, how we got to where we are right now

In the twenty-first century, still repeating history

Is it in our pedigree? DNA memory? 

Cycling until we learn, lessons from our ancestors

What the hell

Somebody ring the bell

What the hell

Somebody ring that bell

Wicked is the rhetoric

He said, she said, everybody talking shit

Pawns in a power game

You play the fool and then you skate the blame

We've got to be accountable

Otherwise, we're pitiful

Blame it on your pedigree

More likely your short-term memory

What the hell

Somebody ring the bell

What the hell

Somebody ring that bell

Alright

I'm tired of these crooked politics

I don't really want to talk about it

Maybe you don't really give a shit

We all pay our dues in time

Picking up the pieces our people left behind

Manifest destiny. Look at the world, baby tell me what you see.

Manifest destiny, for the seeds we sow we too shall reap 

What the hell

Somebody ring the bell

What the hell

Somebody ring that bell

Aaah, get up

Lately I've been thinking about, will we make it through somehow

Break the bonds of broken history; liberate this pedigree

Come on…

Round and round until we learn from what was handed down to us

And make the tables turn…

Round and round until we learn from what was handed down to us

And make the tables turn

What the hell

Somebody ring the bell

What the hell

Somebody ring that bell

I got a rip cord for this…I'm about to pull it…pull it…pull it
