EN
A jail cell is freedom From the pain in my home Hatred passed on, passed on, 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 existence mundane I gotta 9, a sign, a set and now I gotta name Read my writing on the wall No one's here to catch me when I fall But 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 its 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 existence mundane I gotta 9, a sign, a set and now I gotta name Read my writing on the wall No one's ever catch me when I fall Caught between my culture and the system Genocide Read my writing on the wall No one's ever catch me when I fall If ignorance is bliss Then knock the smile off my face Yeah If we don't take action now We'll settle for nothing later We settle for nothing now And we'll settle for nothing later If we don't take action now We'll settle for nothing later We settle for nothing now And we'll settle for nothing later If we don't take action now We'll settle for nothing later We settle for nothing now And we'll settle for nothing later If we don't take action now We'll settle for nothing later We settle for nothing now And we'll settle for nothing later
