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!

Caught between my culture
and the system genocide!
Read my writing on the wall
No one's here to catch me

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

sh that I could talk to you
Be with you somehow
I know you're in a better place
And you know I can see your face
I know you're smiling down on me
Saying everything's okay
I wish that I could hold you now
I wish that I could
touch you now
