Settle For Nothing

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 and an existance mundane
I got a 9, a sign, a set
And now I got a name
Read my writing on the wall
No one’s there 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 and an existance mundane
I got a 9, a sign, a set
And now I got a name
Read my writing on the wall
No one’s there to catch me when I fall
Torn between my culture and the system
Genocide
Read my writing on the wall
No one’s there to catch me when I fall
If ignorence is bliss
Then knock the smie off my face yeah
If we don’t take action now, settle for nothing later
Settle for nothing now and we’ll settle for nothing later
If we don’t take action now, settle for nothing later
Settle for nothing now and we’ll settle for nothing later
If we don’t take action now, settle for nothing later
We’ll settle for nothing now and we’ll settle for nothing later
If we don’t take action now, settle for nothing later
We’ll settle for nothing now and we’ll settle for nothing later
