Ella Favela - Parents (Como Nossos Pais)

I watch cartoons cause life is Tarantino
Come from a long line of pissed off Latinos
Prodigal kid, I did some fucked up things
Blistered feet, I fly with broken wings
I mean what I say and I speak what I feel
Not tryna be rude, I'm just keeping it real
If you pick at the scab, the wound won't heal
Firm handshake ting, art of the deal
Lungs of steel, I got my heart on my sleeve
I'm breaking the mirror just to shatter your dreams
If you pull at the thread, then you'll fray at the seams
The future belongs to the one who believes
Youth is wasted on the way too young
Now you're older and you're feelin' dumb
I was born with a strike against me
Excellence, it could not exempt me
Como nossos pais, we be just like our parents
Como nossos pais, we be just like our parents
Como nossos pais, we be just like our parents
We ain't breaking any cycles and we making it apparent
Como nossos pais, we be just like our fathers
Como nossos mães, we be just like our mothers
Como nossos pais, we be just like our parents
We ain't breaking any cycles
Excitement ended when the bubble burst
Now I'm anticipating the back of a hearse
If God doesn't exist then who the fuck should I curse?
Never found the answer in a Bible verse
If good intentions pave the road to Hell
I'll catch you down south where all is swell
My cup runs over but the well's gone dry
It's the lightest fall, the heaviest sigh
Ration your thoughts and close your mind
It's the eternal sunshine of the endless grind
Haunted by the things I wish I had forgot
I'm on my Lady Macbeth like, "Out, damn spot!"
Runt of the litter, at the head of the class
Made straight A's but I never passed
Sports and friendships picked me last
Clumsy, headstrong, fading fast
They're like, "She's an old soul, she's real mature!"
I'm like thanks, it was the trauma
She's a pretty girl, she seen better days
I'm like, "I got it from my mama!"
Hot tempered and stuck in my ways
For sure my father's daughter
I'm the apple that rolled down the hill
And to my core have rotten
Como nossos pais, we be just like our parents
Como nossos pais, we be just like our parents
Como nossos pais, we be just like our parents
We ain't breaking any cycles and we making it apparent
Como nossos pais, we be just like our fathers
Como nossos mães, we be just like our mothers
Como nossos pais, we be just like our parents
We ain't breaking any cycles
We are the witches they couldn't burn
Learned everything they couldn't learn
We sit and we wait for the tides to turn
Numb and silence my concerns
There's beauty in the breakdown
You gotta love the flux
You have to understand
That what is fair ain't always just
The cracks in my facade are showing
Time shows me no signs of slowing
Life is just a game of chess
Pawning hopes and taking bets
Safely breaking all the rules
Been stressed since the first day of school
Intentions make us cruel
Keep your pride, run the jewels
Como nossos pais, we be just like our parents
Como nossos pais, we be just like our parents
Como nossos pais, we be just like our parents
Como nossos pais
