[Intro] Yeah They say history repeats itself But what about the ones tryna break the loop? Listen... [Sampled High-Pitched Vocal][chipmunk sample] Through the echoes, through the fight, through the fear Through the empty words that no one wants to hear [Verse 1] Kitchen table full of stories we don’t tell out loud Pain simmer in the silence, but the love still proud Uncle still drinkin’, cousin still gone Ain’t seen my brother in months, he don’t pick up the phone Mom keep sayin’ we was raised on faith But faith don’t stretch far when the rent’s two weeks late Took dad’s old records out the attic, let ‘em spin Hearing the same old blues that he used to drown in History don’t walk, man, it runs in the veins DNA twisted like tracks on a train Tryna break cycles when the wheels don’t stop Tryna find peace when the past still knocks [Sampled High-Pitched Vocal][chipmunk sample] Through the echoes, through the fight, through the fear Through the empty words that no one wants to hear [Verse 2] Grandma kept the lights on with nothing but will Cooked for a family of ten off a check that don’t heal Kept her prayers in a coffee can under the sink Hoped God would answer before the lights went blink Brother left home talkin’ ‘bout bigger things Came back smaller, world clipped his wings Said he seen too much, said he lost his soul But he still pull up Sunday, sit quiet, stay cold Cousin on the inside counting time on the wall Ain’t no clock in that cell, but he still watch it fall And me? I’m just tryna make sense of the tune Writing ghost notes in the bloodline, fading too soon [Sampled High-Pitched Vocal][chipmunk sample] Through the echoes, through the fight, through the fear Through the empty words that no one wants to hear [Outro] You know what I mean? Same old song, just different voices We all tryna rewrite the chorus But the melody don’t change [Sampled High-Pitched Vocal][chipmunk sample] Through the echoes, through the fight, through the fear Through the empty words that no one wants to hear
