[Verse]
Gunpowder dreams, they haunt my sleep,
Echoes of a past that cuts too deep.
Carried the weight of my father's sins,
Now I’m here, tryna build where it begins.
Brick by brick, I tear down the wall,
Generations screaming through the hall.
I cradle my babies, shield 'em from the fight,
A mother’s love sharper than a soldier’s might.
[Chorus]
I won’t pass the pain, I’ll break the chain,
Hold them close through the storm and rain.
Battle scars, but I’m soft inside,
For my kids, it’s just lullabies.
[Verse 2]
PTSD in my DNA strands,
Inherited wounds like grains of sand.
But I sweep 'em clean, make the floor shine,
My kids won’t know this war of mine.
In their laughter, I find my calm,
Healing the hurt with an open palm.
Every bedtime story’s a victory won,
I’ll give 'em a moon where I had no sun.
[Bridge]
Tears dried on camo sleeves,
Now they fall on baby cheeks.
Protect the childhood I never knew,
Rewrite the script, make it all brand new.
