[verse 1: MichaeL Armstead]
I'm deflecting the demons of my granddad
My wife giving me dreams that I never had
I'm just giving her dreams of a dark past
I'mma cop me a root from my father's past
My granddad left my mom cause
He was stuck in his ways
Never stuck in a maze
Something that you can't shake
She'd re-up with another
That'll have to replace
Gave her a new feel
Gave my daddy his name
He was never Michael Vaughn, he was Armstead
His daddy never saw him to the army
But God did catch him on the corner in the city
Up in D-Ville village, never playing with children
Put a gun in his hand, Bible up in his head
Contradicting everything he read
Worldwide tour, a forced life
Hit Oak Grove, Kentucky
In a church for his wife, alright
Had a little girl shortly after
Add the magic
Little while after, once again they was packing
Took his family to the island
Only cause he was fighting
Paradise is a riot. Someone called it Hawaii
Shoot em up, shoot em up
Getcho rank up
You can't live righteous
Pull that trigger, get yo bank up
Cause you gon need them coins to
Play the game, get yo flank up
Get the tank up
Fuel the fire, build yo anger
Pass it to yo son
Let him see you rage. Let him see you
Take that program and put it in his head
Watch him grow weaker mentally
On a day-to-day
Til like seventeen when he get
Them demons out his head
And now he mad mad
He Mad Max, he Max Payne
He messed up and
You the only one to yell or blame
And you don't even know
Where the anger really came
You just tryna shoot a gun just to maintain
Now we four generations deep in it
Your grandson stuck fighting anger and women
Add depression and some mental situations
That his father had to deal with
On a day-to-day basis
He deflecting the demons that his dad had
That his dad got from his granddad
Generational curse from a bad past
Wanna bomb out of life like Baghdad
I'm fighting temptation like a bad rib
My child giving me dreams that I never filled
I'm just giving em things that my dad had
Like love, loyalty and a bad rap

[verse 2: John Anthony]
I'm having these wild thoughts
Internalizing my fears
Extorting my paranoia
I'm swinging through all these tears
It's like I'm standing toe-to-toe
And ready to fight
Failing to keep a cool head
Knowing I'm not alright
It feels genetic, frantically stressing
In search of a lesson
Now my mind closed off
And I'm blockin the blessing
Lost in this world
And I feel I'm in danger
My demons whisper in my ear
And it's affecting my anger
I've been tryna meditate but
Can't seem to get space
And love got me hurt
So really now I'm running off hate
It's just my mind tryna protect
All of my sanity left
Cause I done pushed away the others
I ain't wanting their help
Maybe I'm underappreciated
Or just overthinking
Either way you wouldn't know
I won't tell you my reason
I done lost all of my friends
And I'm lonely; believe it
I pray I find my inner peace
To work out all these demons, I need it
Cause right now it's affecting my health
Because I don't understand
All of these feelings I felt
So, as you see I know it's bad and
I'm in need of some help
Cause if I don't get it then I'm...
