History

Take the dagger out my back
As much as I stay positive
It's hard just to relax
You in my presence
Usually easy for me to laugh
But it's hard to move on
When there's a blatant disrespect
I can't get over all you done to me
Affected as a kid
These really aren't simple things
As I sit and reminisce
There's depths to what was done to me
But it's pushed under the rug
It's in the past
Is what you said to me
But it just repeats itself

It just repeats itself
History's what is making me
They move along in life
Forgetting all that was done to me
Erasing all that matters
As if it is an easy thing
Cause trauma keeps it moving
Even when they lie on history
It just repeats itself
History's what is making me
They move along in life
Forgetting all that was done to me
Erasing all that matters
As if it is an easy thing
Cause trauma keeps it moving
Even when they lie on history

They try to silence voices
They try to end the fight
They act like we're their enemies
When they're on the front line
Inexcusable what they do
But they just keep getting pardoned
Learn from their mistakes
But they just keep on getting smarter
So many lives matter
But they're mindlessly hateful
As if they have an agenda
To empower their own people
They don't believe in karma
Or repercussions for their actions
Cause they're the ones in power
Getting pardoned for wrongdoings

It just repeats itself
History's what is making me
They move along in life
Forgetting all that was done to me
Erasing all that matters
As if it is an easy thing
Cause trauma keeps it moving
Even when they lie on history
It just repeats itself
History's what is making me
They move along in life
Forgetting all that was done to me
Erasing all that matters
As if it is an easy thing
Cause trauma keeps it moving
Even when they lie on history

Take the dagger out my back
As much as I stay positive
It's hard just to relax
You in my presence
Usually easy for me to laugh
But it's hard to move on
When there's a blatant disrespect
I can't get over all you done to me
Affected as a kid
These really aren't simple things
As I sit and reminisce
There's depths to what was done to me
But it's pushed under the rug
It's in the past
Is what you said to me
But it just repeats itself

It just repeats itself
History's what is making me
They move along in life
Forgetting all that was done to me
Erasing all that matters
As if it is an easy thing
Cause trauma keeps it moving
Even when they lie on history
It just repeats itself
History's what is making me
They move along in life
Forgetting all that was done to me
Erasing all that matters
As if it is an easy thing
Cause trauma keeps it moving
Even when they lie on history
It just repeats itself
History's what is making me
They move along in life
Forgetting all that was done to me
Erasing all that matters
As if it is an easy thing
Cause trauma keeps it moving
Even when they lie on history
