GHOSTS IN MY BLOODLINE (Track 2 — Full Song) [Intro] Yeah… Some things you don’t choose. Some things choose you. And you spend your whole life tryin’ not to become what raised you. [Verse 1] I grew up with shadows that knew my name, Patterns in my family runnin’ through my veins. Told myself I’d never be the same, But the past got a way of playin’ dirty games. Saw anger in the walls, heard pain in the halls, People breakin’ down but pretendin’ they were strong. I learned early how to fake a smile, How to hide the hurt, how to run for miles. I swore I’d never carry what they carried inside, But blood’s got a memory it don’t let hide. Every flaw they had, every wound they made, Felt like it lived in me even when I prayed. [Pre‑Chorus] I ain’t ask for the ghosts, but they came anyway, Whisperin’ in my ear like “You’ll end up the same.” But I’m fightin’ every day not to fall in line, Breakin’ every chain from my bloodline. [Chorus] Got ghosts in my bloodline, hauntin’ my steps, Tryna drag me back to the life I left. I feel ’em in the silence, hear ’em in my head, Sayin’ “You ain’t changin’, you’ll be us instead.” But I’m done with the curses, done with the lies, Done lettin’ history control my life. Yeah, I got ghosts in my bloodline, But they don’t get to write mine. [Verse 2] I watched good men fall to the weight they held, Watched strong women break ’cause they never got help. Saw addiction turn heroes into strangers, Saw love turn cold when it lived with danger. I carried all the stories like a backpack full, Of every broken promise that they never pulled. And I hated myself when I saw their face, In the mirror lookin’ back like it took their place. But I ain’t them, even if I feel the pull, Even if the past tries to take control. I’m buildin’ somethin’ different with the life I got, Breakin’ generational chains they said I would not. [Pre‑Chorus] I ain’t ask for the ghosts, but they came anyway, Whisperin’ in my ear like “You’ll end up the same.” But I’m fightin’ every day not to fall in line, Breakin’ every chain from my bloodline. [Chorus] Got ghosts in my bloodline, hauntin’ my steps, Tryna drag me back to the life I left. I feel ’em in the silence, hear ’em in my head, Sayin’ “You ain’t changin’, you’ll be us instead.” But I’m done with the curses, done with the lies, Done lettin’ history control my life. Yeah, I got ghosts in my bloodline, But they don’t get to write mine. [Bridge] Maybe I was born into a battlefield, But I ain’t layin’ down, I refuse to kneel. Maybe pain runs deep in the family tree, But I’m cuttin’ off the branches that are killin’ me. [Final Chorus] Got ghosts in my bloodline, hauntin’ my steps, Tryna drag me back to the life I left. I feel ’em in the silence, hear ’em in my head, Sayin’ “You ain’t changin’, you’ll be us instead.” But I’m done with the curses, done with the lies, Done lettin’ history control my life. Yeah, I got ghosts in my bloodline, But they don’t get to write mine.
