"Generational Trauma": Jasmin Hope

Do our parents even understand the pain we’ve endured?

The chaos in which we’ve been emerged

forced to have sex when we were just kids

getting our asses beat when we were in bibs

not to mention the unsafe cribs and shitty slumlords

living roun Philly, and the Burgh

i used to think shit would be different, but the universe continues to show me the pain of my age group

how the world treats us like army troops

mass genocides and invasions going on across the world

as they rape the land, the women, and the girls

just because they hold amazing minerals in their curls

and their life is worth more than pearls

but they push this agenda that we must work for money

but that stack ain gon fix your pain honey

and yes that dick is unsafe honey, that pussy is a grave buddy

but never be so caught up in revenge that you forget how much love you gave cuzzy

we can’t keep giving up our life forces just for us to see niggas like Diddy acting funny

but we have niggas like Robin Williams being hung for being funny

The amazing people of our generation die first

and the only thing they have to explain this foolery is the bible

what about our ancestors?

what about our papers?

you know i looked up my family and all yall have is their slave trade documentations?

they don’t want us to connect, they want to keep us held down by their accommodations 

they want us drowning like they did our ancestors

you know my city so dry there ain even no protesters???

these folks really sleep thinking they “progressers” thinking they finna grow up and buy teslas

but they finna be folded by they oppressors cause they don’t care about nothing but the best dressers

dancing in the club shaking their ass…but shout out to the winning contestors 

i don’t body shame, shit i don’t nothing shame

but there’s levels to this shit, mann there's levels to this game

smoking in the crib raising my consciousness

reading across my laptop Brent’s “Price For Fame”

the price they pay for their incompetence while i’m balancing my equilibrium 

there’s no way i’ll accept the bare minimum 

energy is just money’s synonym, and she has no sympathy

he’s too focused on his discipline and consistency

don’t let these folks fool you with their lies

keep to your own frequency.
