i come from long trips on the road
praying my brothers would go into silent mode
i come from yelling and screaming
because im outside rather than inside cleaning
i come from hatred and family fights
and laying in bed crying all night

i come from parents who claim to be religious
but who only seem to be prejiduce
i come from sorrow and anger
and live with people that feel like strangers
i come from a grandmother who ill always remember
and family members who are to proud to ever surrender

i come from my fathers mistakes
whose anger and threats i long to escape
i come from my mothers lies
whose heart is filled with undeserving pride
i come from a soul thats searching for strength
and a family that will stop at nothing til they see it break
