Zyn$cape - Neon Bloodline Lyrics

[Intro]
Mama's heartbeat on the monitor, beep beep
Every breath she takes, I feel it in my sleep
Caribbean queen working triple shifts
While I'm in the basement making this shit

[Verse 1]
Pawned her wedding ring so I could make these beats
Blood money flowing through my USB
Mama's DNA got me fighting in these streets
Working graveyard shifts just to help me breathe
Three jobs deep, still can't catch no peace
While I'm getting high, trying not to think or speak
Every time I close my eyes, I see her weeping
Through the walls, hear her prayers while I'm sleeping

[Chorus]
Born into survival mode
Watch me turn this pain to gold
Mama's scars run through my veins
Caribbean storms wash away the pain
Born into survival mode
Every beat's a story told
Mama's tears run through these tracks
Can't move forward, can't go back

[Verse 2]
Got that island rhythm mixed with city grime
Mama's working fingers blessed these rhymes
Emergency room lights flash in my mind
While I'm in the club getting f*cked up blind
Inherited trauma runs deep in my code
Every track I make got mama's episodes
Working double shifts while I chase these shows
Wonder if she knows that her pain still flows

[Bridge]
They say the apple falls close to the tree
But I'm rotting on the ground, can't you see?
Mama's strength became my weakness
Now I'm burning bridges seeking sweetness

[Verse 3]
Late night studio sessions, mama's worried sick
While I'm turning pain to profit, making hits
Every sample got her breathing underneath
Caribbean warrior's blood runs deep
Survival's in my bones, it's all I know
But I'm killing myself putting on this show
Mama sacrificed everything to see me grow
Now I'm self-destructing, putting on a show

[Outro]
Beep... beep... flatline
Watch me turn this pain divine
Mama's heartbeat is my bassline
Forever trapped in survival time
