Lyrics

Oh oh oh oh
Mom and Dad were poor pedestrians in the journey of life
Their legs soon broke down
Due to the heavy burdens of problems they carried inside
Besides
The system fed them with lies
The same lies they passed down to their innocent child
What a miserable life
This is all, all
That was handed down to me
Me
This is all, all
That was handed down to me
Me
This is all, all
That was handed down to me
Me
This is all, all
That was handed down to me
Huh as soon as my childish brain could connect
Proper sentence with the alphabets
Of the white man's language I was taught
Fuck
This was the first life lesson handed to me
In this school of hard knocks by my pops
Son, you see in the world you in today
You will never be successful if you ain't
A graduate
I'm saying you got to finish school with top
Grades
Get employed in a big firm and then comes
The big cheques
Same old experiment he was involved in
And yet ended up poor
Is the same experiment he believes gonna make me successful for sure
A stereotype, he inherited like other
Black parents
Who are too brainwashed to realise
I mean they too blinded to see
That getting a degree
In the white man's educational system
We all have adopted for centuries
Has never brought us success
It only succeeded in making us
More advanced slaves
With millions of chains in their brain
A continuous holocaust, I must confess
The rate of its destruction has
Grown even worse
Than that of our ancestors
We all like lions raised in a zoo
And Most of us end up starving to death
'Cause we were never taught how to hunt for ourselves
Damn
This is all, all
That was handed down to me
Me
This is all, all
That was handed down to me
Me
This is all, all
That was handed down to me
Me
This is all, all
That was handed down to me
Me
I was born into prayers that never got answers
Tears in the kitchen, hope on life support
Mama smiled just to hide all the fractures
Daddy fought demons nobody taught him to stop
I inherited fear before I learned how to dream
Inherited scars before my skin even healed
They said, "This is the world, this is how it will be"
But something in my soul refused that deal
I watched love turn tired, faith turn thin
Promises break like the plates on the floor
Still I carry their names, still I carry their sins
But I swear I was made for more
This is all, all
That was handed down to me
Me
This is all, all
That was handed down to me
Me
This is all, all
That was handed down to me
Me
This is all, all
That was handed down to me
Me
