"A CHIP ON MY SHOULDERS" by Lucky Supremo

A CHIP ON MY SHOULDERS I have a full blown chip on my shackled shoulders and I can't let go. Dormant When I am silent and mobile when I am blunt A shameful but bitter chip passed down to me even before I was born The older I got, the bolder it grew, and the more power it craved Why should I be ashamed of what my father and mother once had? Why should I be shy or be afraid of passing my chip down to my scions and followers? Why should my chip never see the light of day and helplessly multiply? On the eve of my royal wedding my chip ended its silence, once again- The ancestral and traumatic curse unleashed itself before my very own eyes Saying "Let me tell you something. For the first time in my entire adult life" I now have a voice and I am where I am today because it is my right and not a privilege Gunny sacking and forcefully taking me back to a painful place I once know Stirring up my loins as it affirmed a sordid pride on a bitter past And as my healed up battle wounds got reopened, a cold shiver ran right through me Feeling my futuristic hopes and dreams slip away into a familiar nothingness, once again The same old mistake this chip had made over and over again From generation to generation, like a blind but likeable spider spinning Its cocky web of victory but trapping itself in a cluster of defeat Falling so far and so fast, unfair others are unable to rescue it. A costly mistake leaving me no choice but to love another Someone who's being there all along and who now greets me openly and warmly With her wide open arms once more I was blind but now I can see I was deaf but now I can hear The prodigal son returns The curse is lifted My rights and freedom proudly restored And I will never again be duped or be betrayed by the likes of you ever again!
