Feel me on this here

[VERSE 1:]
Yo - he’s woken up by a knock at the door
Flashing blue lights, papa’s name, cops on the porch
Neighbors heard the fight, screams and the drop to the floor
Now the victim undercovers hiding trying to ignore it
Poor kid - abused and petrified
It’s happened so many times that he desensitized
Taught to deny so to him it’s just another morning
Broken homes and bones hidden by a cover story
Confidence shattered and he don’t speak in class
Hе lies about the bruises whеn the teacher asks
CPS investigators want to meet his dad
Every day he shows up beaten they keeping track
Building a case
Willing to chase
But this broken system sealing his fate
Feeling the weight of the children they leaving behind who suffer in pain
So many stuck in the same
Deprived of what they deserve
He don’t know how to explain why his body is covered in burns
He prays
But he was made in the father's image
He wonders if it’s in his nature to mimic the behavior he witness
His heart conflicted and sickened by the absence of love
(Detached!)
No affection or role models
Daddy only hugging the whole bottle
Mama drugged out, drowning in her own sorrow
So he’s all alone in this empty home where he grows hollow
Where does it go?
Follow the path of neglect by so called protectors
Where the trauma messing up his neurological receptors
It’s like the devil want control, got him in his grips
May God protect the souls of the innocent
[VERSE 2:]
She was a runaway in her troubled days
A young lady driven crazy by her mother’s rage
Underweight with hunger pains fed to the streets
Dad was never there so she felt incomplete
Pregnant at seventeen by a deadbeat who sell drugs
Settled for an abuser because she never felt love
Then she became a user, it would soothe her of the pain inside
Shooting veins, ignoring cries while her baby stay deprived
Wishing she took the abortion route
Barely considers herself a mother tears pouring out
Balancing resentful thoughts with parental ones
Swinging back and forth like a pendulum
See? Mama got no options 'cause her mama had no options
Without a solid foundation the family tree is rotten
And destined to fall
One generation damaged it’s effecting them all
A legacy regretfully lost
It’s like they all born dying and now she gotta live with it
The cataclysm, her decisions got her flipping
Transformed from a victim to a willing participant
In a cycle with no care for the souls of the innocent

[BRIDGE:]
You said you'd care for me
Said you'd be there for me
Why do I feel so alone?
I feel so alone (x3)
[VERSE 3:]
Daddy got out the county without any bread
He hiding from the feds like he got a bounty on his head
Mommy said he could stay because she guilty and afraid
Tricked herself into thinking there’ll be better days
They never came
The man is sick
To his wife, he cause misery
Four missing teeth, hitting she endured viciously
Their son was damaged before he was born physically
Her body beaten into premature delivery
Baby born deformed from the abuse
And her drug use, it had him stunted and growing up mute
Still persevered for thirteen years, never defeated
That’s when this family lost the battle to their fucking demons
A cold evening, just getting home, they both screaming 🙀
Daddy's drunk said she cheating, mommy’s nose bleeding
Pleading for mercy but when he already mad
There ain’t no heading back
He beating on her like a heavy bag
She leaking bad, swollen face covered like a coat of paint
Their baby boy begging that he show restraint
Then dad feels a crack on the back by his shoulder blades
But the brave act end up throwing gas over flames
Turning towards his son like the Earth leaving winter months
The boy's scared to death fleeing faster than sprinters run
But he ain’t fast enough
His dad is nuts, intoxicated with evil
He drags him up
He throwing punches, bones crunching like croutons
His baby tried to fight it but this monster was too strong
And then he fell back, tripping over a broken chair
Tumbling from the kitchen slipping down a flight of open stairs
And that’s when hope disappeared...
[OUTRO:]
Such a tragic story, I wish it was so different
God please have mercy on the souls of the innocent
(Protect the innocent)
We gotta keep our families together, men
Keep them strong, keep them secure
Raise your children with love and wisdom
And never allow those bonds to be broken
I still hear the screams of the souls of the innocent
They haunt me at night
