Generations

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 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 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 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 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 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 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
