Break The Cycle

I'm codependent, as intended by the family trees
Family dinners always fighting as the entree
Mediating conversations, playing referee
Always reference the past mistakes as a guarantee
Baggage on my back, passed on from back to back
Generations of your issues I must figure out
Imma hop on a plane and miss the baggage claim
This the way of the kid that turned into the man
I got plenty fucking problems in my DNA
Shit is private, file it buried like a NDA
Trauma from my Nana, always keeping me awake
I don't wanna bring this shit with me to the new age

Trying to break the cycle, finna be a free man
Gonna climb the mountain ones before me failed to get
Lead with love and feel no shame, that's my middle name
Imma break off all these chains, watch me fly away, away, away
Imma break off all these chains, watch me fly away, away, away
I'ma break off all these chains, watch me fly away

Retroactive thinking got me second guessing what I saw as being right growing up
Imma change the narrative
Had to change my ways like maps on a phone
Pick a different route to build a legacy on my own
I had to take a step back to gain perspective
So much that had slipped my mind from my recollection
How I treat the one in front of me, that's my reflection
Asking questions to myself, like am I good with this?
Didn't take the time before to analyze and reflect on
My relationships, my lack of awareness
My defensiveness and fear of being lonely
filled with emptiness
In the end, it's all about determination
It's relying on myself, no divine intervention
I can only shine a light on the dark corners of
my mind
Treat them like a cinder block to build the person that I am
So I can feel a sense of joy
So I can plant a seed for hope
So I can go when time's up and leave behind a better world

Tryna break the cycle, finna be a free man
Gonna climb the mountain ones before me failed to get
Lead with love and feel no shame, that's my middle name
Imma break off all these chains, watch me fly away, away, away
Imma break off all these chains, watch me fly away, away, away
Imma break off all these chains, watch me fly away

Imma break off all these chains, watch me fly away
