Settle For Nothing lyrics

A jail cell is freedom from the pain in my home

Hatred passed on, passed on, and passed on

A world of violent rage, but it's one that I can recognize

Having never seen the color of my father's eyes

Yes, I dwell in hell, but it's a hell that I can grip

I tried to grip my family but I slipped

To escape from the pain in an existence mundane

I got a nine, a sign, a set, and now I got a name

Read my writing on the wall

No one's here to catch me when I fall

Death is on my side

Suicide

A jail cell is freedom from the pain in my home

Hatred passed on, passed on, and passed on

A world of violent rage but it's one that I can recognize

Having never seen the color of my father's eyes

Yes, I dwell in hell, but it's a hell that I can grip

I tried to grip my family but I slipped

To escape from the pain in an existence mundane

I got a nine, a sign, a set, and now I got a name

Read my writing on the wall

No one's here to catch me when I fall

Caught between my culture and the system

Genocide

Read my writing on the wall

No one's here to catch me when I fall

If ignorance is bliss

Then knock the smile off my face

Yeah

If we don't take action now

We'll settle for nothing later

We'll settle for nothing now

And we'll settle for nothing later

If we don't take action now

We'll settle for nothing later

We'll settle for nothing now

And we'll settle for nothing later

If we don't take action now

We'll settle for nothing later

We'll settle for nothing now

And we'll settle for nothing later

If we don't take action now

We'll settle for nothing later

We'll settle for nothing now

And we'll settle for nothing later
