tastybento - Breaking The Cycle Lyrics

Seen things that would make a grown man shake (true)
But for my kid I'll change paths for his sake (yeah)

Got a plan in mind but the streets don't care (nah)
Been battlin' through it's a life unfair (uh)
Lost friends lost nights and a soul laid bare (true)
But my kid gotta rise won't leave him in despair (yeah)
Hustles ain't honours but it paid the dues (uh)
Blood on my hands but got his future in the view (yeah)
Set fire to the past forge a vision all new (true)
For my kid every battle fought through and through

Break these chains I want a better life for you
Through the pain gonna find a way through
Storms might rage but we'll see the skies of blue
For my kid I'll fight to make it true

Street's cold tales old told in blood and fire (uh)
But my heart beats hope kid you're my desire (yeah)
Don't want you running scared or always wired (nah)
So I'm turning tables escaping this entire (yeah)
Cycle of despair gonna break free soon (word)
You'll see the sun rise won't be stuck in this gloom (true)

Chains are falling guiding light anew

Break these chains I want a better life for you
Through the pain gonna find a way through
Storms might rage for my kid I'll fight to make it true

I'm an enforcer get the job done quick and clean (uh)
If it means a chalk outline then so it seems (yeah)
But it's not for me nah doing it all for you (true)
A path dodgy and dark but a life brand new (yeah)
See I hustle in the shadows for a brighter day (uh)
Most deserve it and most pay up I know the rules of the in and out (uh)
But my kid he needs to learn a new way forward no doubt (true)
Something better than breaking heads more than street clout (yeah)
Wanna see him in the books gettin' A's no dropouts (for real)
Teaching lessons of respect knowledge is the armour (uh)
Far from this grind where life's always a drama (nah)
Gonna hustle for a change cut through the karma (yeah)
Promise you kid your life won't be this trauma (true)

Break these chains I want a better life for you
Through the pain gonna find a way through
Storms might rage for my kid I'll fight to make it true
For my kid fight to make it true

No one ever leaves I know that's true (yeah)
Got my ink and that ain't coming off any time soon (nah)
But you've got a chance a path like new
Something I never had it's all for you (true)
See me grindin' see me hustlin' it's the only route I knew (yeah)
But for you my kid I'm dreamin' bigger too (uh)

With every tear that's shed we build a stronger bond (stronger bond)
Paths unwritten a future so beyond (so beyond)
You'll rise above these streets won't be just another pawn (not a pawn)
Together you'll rewrite the wrongs find a brand new dawn

Break these chains I want a better life for you
Through the pain gonna find a way through
Storms might rage
For my kid I'll fight to make it true

I did what I had to do a knife a piece (uh)
It's what I clean and use just to get some peace (yeah)
But you got brains kid now I give way to you (true)
Make the most of it live your life brand new (uh)
Sacrifices made so your future can be bright (yeah)
No more shadows just the glow of your own light (nah)
Taking steps toward dreams high and outta sight (true)
Climbing ladders reaching heights never touched by night (uh)

Break these chains I want a better life for you
Through the pain gonna find a way through
Storms might rage but we'll see the skies of blue
For my kid I'll fight to make it true (make it true)

Life's tough no bluff you know the streets don't sleep (uh)
But I'm crafting dreams promises to keep (yeah)
One day you'll look back and see us climbin' steep (true)
From this urban maze to peaks real high and deep (uh)
I'll teach you 'bout honor keep your head held high (word)
Navigatin' struggle but aiming for the sky (yeah)
Breaking free from chains that once held tight (nah)
For your future kid I'll burn through the night (true)
