Yo, yo, listen up, we're trapped in this history
It's time to move forward, make it a mystery (uh-huh)
It's like a shadow we can't shake, this cycle won't cease (yeah)
Roots embedded deep, but we seek release (yeah)
Old tales passed on, hand in hand through time (huh)
Stories written in the lines, in the bloodline (uh)
Fathers to sons, mothers to daughters
Pain they carry on, like relentless waters
In this endless spin, we find our way
Rise above the storm, break the waves today (whoa)
Cycle rolls on, a tale as old as time (yeah)
Lessons unlearned, echoes start to chime (what)
This harsh reality cuts deep, no crime (uh)
Inherited pain, with no place to climb (true)
Their stories untold, carried in their eyes (aye)
Generations trapped under these same skies (yeah)
Trying to break chains, still, hope never dies (no)
Seeking truth, tryna rise, we improvise (listen)
Voices in the past, whisper to the present (uh)
Break the chain, leave the past with their consent (yeah)
Cycle must stop, future must be bright (true)
With unity and truth, we'll ignite the light (whoa)
Listen close to the stories etched in stone (huh)
Lost in the struggles that we make our own (yeah)
But from these roots, a new path must arise (uh)
Empathy and love, they're the true prize (true)
We walk the road of ancestors' dreams (hmm)
Still chained by the cries and the silent screams (oh)
But we have the power, we can make the change (uh)
Rewrite history, it's within our range (yeah)
Voices in the past, whisper to the present (uh)
Break the chain, leave the past with their consent (yeah)
Cycle must stop, future must be bright (true)
In shadows of old, we find our wings (fly)
Building bridges where the sorrow sings (uh)
Hold tight to wisdom, let love resound (yeah)
Rise from the ashes, new beginnings found (whoa)
Carve a new path, let the healing start (true)
Turn the pain to power, let it chart (yeah)
Every struggle and hardship, now our muse (uh)
Craft a future where no one has to lose (yeah)
Voices in the past, whisper to the present (uh)
Break the chain, leave the past with their consent (yeah)
Cycle must stop, future must be bright (true)
With unity and truth, we'll ignite the light (whoa)
