Viral Bloodline

[Intro] Static on the line, daddy's voice distorted Harvard halls echo but the truth's aborted Legacy's a prison that I inherited But I'll tear it down, watch me get real reckless [Verse 1] Found your papers in the study, critiquing the system While you couldn't see your own son was missing PhD in sociology, but can't read your own blood Preaching 'bout oppression while our home floods Mama's piano haunts these trap beats While I'm spitting bars that'll make your heart freeze Privilege sits heavy like a golden noose But I'll flip your language, make it my truth [Chorus] Voicemail static, can't hear you clear Your words corrupted, disappeared Scholar's son but street taught Breaking down what you thought you bought (What you thought you bought) [Verse 2] F*ck your dissertations and your fancy words Got me feeling like your latest research Data points and demographics, that's all I ever was Another case study in your catalog of love You analyze movements but can't move me Teaching revolution while you're trying to prove me Wrong about everything I ever felt Playing god in ivory towers you built [Bridge] (Distorted voice sample: "Son, you're throwing everything away") Watch me throw it, watch me break it Your expectations? I'ma shake it Classical training meets the streets now Making music that'll make you break down [Chorus] Voicemail static, can't hear you clear Your words corrupted, disappeared Scholar's son but street taught Breaking down what you thought you bought (What you thought you bought) [Outro] Signal's fading, connection's lost But I found myself in what it cost Harvard halls can't hold me now Making noise you won't allow
