That's six Generations
Not a long time since my bloodline was free
From the exploitations
You ain't never been in the fields
Unless you were trapped in a full plantation
That's the curse of a century
Civilizations live off the will of a cruel foundation

That's six Generations
Not a long time since my bloodline was free
From the exploitations
You ain't never been in the fields
Unless you were trapped in a full plantation
That's the curse of a century
Civilizations live off the will of a cruel foundation

Shipped to the seas to the unknown land
Taken away from the motherland
They call it a world that's new
The West Indies where the sugar's due
A land with a beautiful view
But still with a past that lurks so cruel
Colonization, brutalization
Genocides, inflicted a full damnation
Woke up in the creek of a deck
Where nothing's left
But I'm still tryna find what's left
Seeing my brother deceased
Will I be free or
Will I be next
This tension, tension
Got me asking all of these questions
Pray to God for a rightful answer
Will there ever be a due salvation

That's six Generations
Not a long time since my bloodline was free

You ain't never been in the fields
Unless you were trapped in a full plantation
That's the curse of a century

Not a long time since my bloodline was free
From the exploitations
You ain't never been in the fields
Unless you were trapped in a full plantation
That's the curse of a century
Civilizations live off the will of a cruel foundation

Just touched down on the land that's new
Found myself besold on an auction
Burned and marks oh way too shocked
Oh how so cruel that a soul can be
Like when will I ever be free
I'm tired of the whips that crack on my skin

Bruised so broken thick from the pain that I've got to to just bare
Trapped in a cage, surrounded by nature
Picking up canes for the overseer
Seeing my peers be mutilated
Made me a husk that's living in fear
All of these screams I hear
They're ringing in all of my ears
Now I've got to make it clear
That I'll never back down, I'll be so sure

That's six Generations
Not a long time since my bloodline was free

You ain't never been in the fields
Unless you were trapped in a full plantation
That's the curse of a century

That's six Generations
Not a long time since my bloodline was free
From the exploitations
You ain't never been in the fields
Unless you were trapped in a full plantation
That's the curse of a century
Civilizations live off the will of a cruel foundation

Won't submit to the will of a coward
So I've got to take it there
Gather militias, Soon be vicious
Rough and tough if you've got an issue

We'll be free from the master's glare
Clear it off with freedom's stare
Keep them trapped on the island's wrath
Ready to burn away all the rats
Pray on the gods and pray on ancestors
We'll soon be free, I can feel it glea
Gotta make sure that we've tried our best
If we're gonna hang on the tree of death

That's six Generations

You ain't never been in the fields
Unless you were trapped in a full plantation

Civilizations live off the will of a cruel foundation

That's six Generations

Later, later
After so much bloodshed we're finally free
Divide and conquer still on a whim
So really can we truly say
Now we're against our ways
No way that we ain't never learned from our mistakes
But the trauma still passed down
How can we escape from all of this drama
My children are covered in laughter
From all of the suffering after
Families passed down all of the grief
To the point that we're buried in hate
But still is it really too late
To just spark up another debate
Or maybe the systems rigged
To the point that we gotta just build a new rig
