A jail cell is freedom

From the pain in my home

Hatred passed on, passed on

And passed on

A world of violent rage

But it's one that I can recognize

Having never seen the color

Of my father's eyes

Yes, I dwell in hell

But it's a hell that I can grip

I tried to grip my family

But I slipped

To escape from the pain

In an existence mundane

I gotta 9, a sign, a set

And now I gotta name

Read my writing on the wall

No one's here to catch me when I fall

Death is on my side, suicide

A jail cell is freedom

From the pain in my home

Hatred passed on, passed on

And passed on

A world of violent rage

But it's one that I can recognize

Having never seen the color

Of my father's eyes

Yes, I dwell in hell

But it's a hell that I can grip

I tried to grip my family

But I slipped

To escape from the pain

In an existence mundane

I gotta 9, a sign, a set

And now I gotta name

Read my writing on the wall

No one's here to catch me when I fall

Caught between my culture

And the system, genocide

Read my writing on the wall

No one's here to catch me when I fall

If ignorance is bliss

Then knock the smile off my face, yeah

If we don't take action now

We settle for nothing later

Settle for nothing now

And we'll settle for nothing later

If we don't take action now

We settle for nothing later

We'll settle for nothing now

And we'll settle for nothing later

If we don't take action now

We'll settle for nothing later

We settle for nothing now

And we'll settle for nothing later

If we don't take action now

We settle for nothing later

We'll settle for nothing now

And we'll settle for nothing later
