[Verse]
I look in the mirror see my dad’s crooked grin
Mom’s wild temper boiling under my skin
Didn’t sign up for this messed-up deal
Like a bad tattoo that just won’t heal
[Prechorus]
My DNA’s a trap I can’t escape
Running in circles tied to their fate
[Chorus]
Why did I get these genes
Why’d they stick to me like old routines
Didn’t ask for the mess didn’t ask for the pain
But here I am drowning in this bloodstained chain
[Verse 2]
Grandma’s fear laced tight in my veins
Uncle’s bad knees driving me insane
A lottery I never bought a ticket for
Yet here I am carrying more and more
[Prechorus]
My blueprint’s broken it’s cracked and mean
Tied to a past I’ve never even seen
[Chorus]
Why did I get these genes
Why’d they haunt my nights and wreck my dreams
Didn’t vote for the chaos didn’t choose the strain
But here I stand wearing this hereditary chain
