I been gettin' better at keeping my pain hidden
People think they're clever when they hit us with treasons
I been realer than death, meanwhile they been mislayin' reason
Oh no

Havin' to witness my family die
It's been like that since I became alive
There been no branch that hadn't a blight
Never had rest, my pen bled from plight
Cannot get back and I'm scared of my fright
Had to sit back, all my pangs had to hide
Never been blessed, ain't no Vatican sign
Hands on my head like it ain't by my side, woah

When money wasn't there whatsoever
My mother had to fast so I'd weather
No running from no twinge, no Atalanta
Had to accept falling prey to cataclysms (for real)
Despite everything we're alive
Despite everything we survived
And we are alive
Despite every death, we survived

Aunt off the coke
She made my grandpa feel less of a man
Then he killed himself while he was alone
Woe
The reason why he did that shit
Is 'cause he believed he wasn't alone
Tho
Nobody could do anything
At night he was there, was gone in the morn
Know
Those times done made a whole chain
Of deaths in a race like Elesin's throne
Uh
Hadn't a thing, raw beans in our plates
Candles on shelves as lamps had a break
Water was cold, say memories fade
They partially did but made us afraid ('fraid)
I'm paranoid and it's not a phase (phase)
Diggin' the void, "won't leave 'em a trace" (trace)
Couldn't show throes, we hidden our pain (pain)
'Member the morgue, life keeps addin' graves (graves)

Yeah, but, anyways
I'm fightin' my demons
I really been walkin' through the fucking flames
And I've never kept anyone 'round or within 'em
I'm puttin' my soul in this bitch like Saint Francis
And wish our targets would come and then be goal
I gotta keep livin' and keep it a hunnid
'Cause people fin' hunt us as, shit, I won't give up
You know, they betrayed us but now
We're not grudgin' with 'em

I gotta keep goin', hey, gotta keep goin' (go)
Gotta keep goin', hey, gotta keep goin' (for real)
Yeah, you know, gotta keep goin'
Ain't nothing new, just gotta keep goin'

(Yeah, you know-know-know, gotta keep goin')
(Ain't nothing new-new-new, gotta keep goin')
