30 Year Secret (Delicious Venom)

Transcribed by NVVICIOUS

30 Year Secret

Thirty years of war persecuted and scorned
Behind enemy lines a small child is born
What will he live for fighting for the rest of his life
Gunshots, chemical bombs or sliced with a knife

Shrapnel within flesh children poisoned to death
Defend the villages soldiers killed in combat
A contract that's been cracked split up and attacked
With no tracks and they only fight back

For survival reasons
And they wish to the sky for the will to keep breathing
The jungles are a prison
Scarred into our visions
Now I want you to listen
'Cause our people have risen

Starving for any meal they kept it concealed
Their blood spills all over the rice fields for real
A tragic massacre of tears and emotions
That can flood the Mekong River to be an ocean
Our people are suffering and time is running out

I see my mother working late again father holding paper tens
Drama on the corner we ignore but we relate to them
Stay within the circle representing every state we in
Penetrate the system now the prison wants to take us in

Listen to my elder folks
Cousin loves to sell his smoke
Sister's in the kitchen cooking breakfast to the smell of smoke

Flea market weekends sleeping sixty minutes to two hours
Been working overtime ain't had no time to take a shower
Family business slow still on the go
Blow for blow we slug it out against the winter and snow

Ever since existence we have been survivors
Neglected never claimed a country
Just wanted to live and let live

Now its been thirty years
Since imprisonment in the jungle for the Hmong
Remind your elders and educate the young

Laotian government, genocide, human rights and violation
Clock is running down to total annihilation
Lift a finger now stop procrastinating

Save a child save a mother
Throw your clock and watch away
The time is now

Stop searching for time
Time is running out
Stop searching for time
The time is now

Don't let our people die
Save our people
Save our people
Go listen to their cries
Voices of sorrow

Another dying relative
Sleeping life away like a sedative
Death is interactive
Don't it make you feel relative
Children feeling negative

Repetitive survival mode
Spirits from the old
Neglected perspective grows
If we let it the mind stays infected so
Memories repress it

Mothers' fetuses die
Hold your chin high
Let the wind dry your eyes
Here we go

Levitate, aggravate, penetrate, let 'em hate
Escalate what you know, mental state gotta grow
System teach you to fear being bold
Hmong people on the go dying slow so

Do the math with me
Subtract morality
Add fatality
Divide broken pride
Equals America lied

Tears blur our visions so we listen to the violence
She could be the silence or the sirens

Divide in corner streets
Fight for the air we breathe
Tears we see
Families we grieve
This is disgusting

Must it wipe a life or two
Fallen soldiers yesterday's news
Father's in the grave nobody left to fill his shoes

Wake up to gun shots
Silence is just a dream
Wake up to gun shots
Silence is just a dream

Wake up to gun shots
Silence is just a dream
Wake up to gun shots
Silence is just a dream
