On and On(Part Two) - Spit Syndicate/Solo
It starts with a young white couple strugglin' with the hurt
When they first discovered that they couldn't give birth
Searched until they found this young light brown orphan
Swore that the lord's light had shone down
Upon the Earth blessed 'em with this generous gift
Complexion suggested that her heritage was mixed
They couldn't wait to adopt
Take her from the mission start a family and raise her proper
They're tryin' paternalism define their love in time
This song'd start playin' from the skies above see
Back then black meant second-class citizens
So they never once explained how she was different
Ignored her past 'cause in parts of this land
There aint nothin' worse than the Tar brush as mine but
Awareness came with the added pressures of adolescence
A definite chorus of unanswered questions
Lookin' for herself but every mirror seems ugly
She's silent for days screamin' please love me
Here comes the rain she lookin' for a fix to fix that self hate
Numb the pain
Like like you gotta give me something
To to keep my mind from my problems
She's spinnin' outta control in time with the melody
Finds herself pregnant out in the cold
Stranded with a child she can't raise dark days
They have to part ways
Leaves her child abandoned
In the care of a system that doesn't
Grows up move her from to home different sisters
And brothers
Killin' her softly as it plays on
She tries to drown out the sound but the pain stays strong
Dancin' like her mother did fading away from the light
Cries at night the key of the same song
On and on
On and on
On and on
Can't stop can't stop the song
On and on
On and on
Can't stop can't stop the song
And it goes on and on and on like forever
Four in the home living alone together
Two headstrong boys a wife and a husband
A life that she never grew accustomed to
Wants so bad to be a father but his own dad
Never showed him how to hold hands
As a child knew no laughter
Pop's heart was stone cold now his grows harder
Stays distant stays distant two kids starved for love
Longin' for their father's touch
Big brother starts actin' up hoping to get noticed
Provokes his father's fist
Now the house that hope built is torn apart
And replaced by the place where darkness lives
Tells little brother I love you I'll be back for you
Gives his mother a kiss and then he packs his stuff
He's on his own now try'na leave it all behind him
But his own reflection serves to remind him
Dad's eyes stare back from the mirror's glass
Soundtrack to his hidden past
Now a grown man hasn't seen his family in years
Miss his little brother but he can't face his fears
Goin' steady with this girl now she's expecting
Looks like things might just work out
Gives birth May twenty-one
Wish his dad was around to see his beautfiul grandson
Things are great but as years pass
Becomes harder and harder to relate
So he retreats hides behind walls
Becomin' a replica of the man that he hates
Like father like son right
This song plays on in darkness waiting for the sunrise
On and on
On and on
On and on
Can't stop can't stop the song
On and on
On and on
On and on
On and on
Can't stop can't stop the song
Bruno it's your son speakin'
It's been a while huh since the night you decided to up
And leaves us there
Out to fend for somethin' you pretended to love
And then retreat to where you needn't care
Heath I didn't ask for much but stayin' in touch with me
Instead of driftin' apart
Escapin' the dismal reality of home
Drunk calls to my phone like James it's your father
Mum lost to winter cried as I sat lifeless
Told me I was too young to comprehend it
Questionin' your whereabouts
Learnt that a single mother's upbringing
Sure out-weighed long domestics
Mum's playin' both roles world's got it in for me
Runnin' like my father after girl's golden infamy
Told myself I never seen my son the same
Tune in the news about my half-brother came
You told me you were teachin' him guitar
So nice you were trying with Dean but
Where were you when I was sixteen
The f**k were you when birthday calls
You should'a been there for my first shave
My first graze off my bike
My friends taught me to ride
Your absence taught me I'm a rider
Brought all the kinda things you try to grasp
As a child into focus and mum's home taught me I'm alright
'Shown a likeness between us' says mum seldom
Delve deeper I'm sure you're sure to find that
Certain set of traits get past through
The further generations like feeding my son and daughter's life
Your's were no longer playin' the key of our lives
We've grown stronger forget those ties
Through your cowardly acts I seek courage
Keep running with guilt and regret won't tire us
Stop
You can't stop can't stop the song
