Hereditary

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I struggle with not having a dad in my life
Sometimes I struggle with being ahead of the hype
Will this mic do me right
The waves come out at night
The slaves are out of sight
The whites are never low on spite
The blacks only open they mouth for the sprite
Dirty of course like conversations that we force
Jess just want to see remorse
I'd rather wake to a horse
660 to be exact, with trails of an ignorant man that slack
With nothing to put dibs on but a young niggas mac
That's all I needed couldn't tell me about the missing qualities lack
Of responsibility, stability, chivalry, killing me knowing mentally
Apples don't far too far anymore
Me snapping on beats ain't just bars anymore
This smile doesn't cover the scars anymore
Lack of effort ain't up to par anymore
Refuse to hold shit in a jar anymore
Your bag of tricks are quite amusing
It's all confusing I thought I was the only child losing
Turns out neglection wasn't due to selection
Another statistic to the youthful oppression
I'll be damned if I fall victim to the suppression
You gone hear me clear as Revere
Filled with fear
Riders filling ya ear midnight is here

[Hook]
Tell me how do I better myself
Now, tell me how do I better myself
Tell me how do I better myself
Now, tell me how do I better myself
I may go mia on you
I hope this shit ain't hereditary
Father figure was forever imaginary
Hereditary
Is this shit really necessary
Pray this shit ain't Hereditary
Pray this shit ain't hereditary
Tell me how do I better myself
Now, tell me how do I better myself
Tell me how do I better myself
Now, tell me how do I better myself
Tell me how do I better myself

[Verse 2]
Now how do I wrap this is up
Wait, you'll be the last person I ask
Planting the wrong seeds
How many mouths do you have to feed
How many really caught up to speed
How many wants were covered before you tend to they needs
Fuck me fuck this might as well go and fuck me a bitch
That don't know her worth and she'd still treat me better than this
Offering up your cash like I need that kind of assist
Now your absence only gives bliss
Who brings children in this world with a father to miss
I ain't shit like you I find comparisons rather despiteful
I can sense everyone's tension
I thought reunions were supposed to be delightful
Cutting ties because growth and joy is vital
Signs is telling me you did nothing to avoid being idle
You'll find no emotion this way you reap what you sow
It's crazy because you did everything but nothing to influence this flow
Similar case with your newly found daughters with no real man to embrace
Feeling out of place not a day without foundation found on the face
Feeding us bullshit look at your damage
Crazy because your closest children were famished
