Ancestors
Verse 1
Original
Ancestors take my hand From these transgressions greater than How I've been acting, I'm so ashamed I can't take the pressure, I'm all to blame I'm caving in, don't know my way Ancestors take my hand
Verse 2
Original
Cause I can't take the pressure it's greater than Of my skin and flesh, I'm so ashamed When I finally get there, will you know my name? Feel like ox to the slaughter Feel like my life for the price of fame Ancestors ??? this pain
Verse 3
Original
??? on this coldest train To become that ??? coal deep within the dirt To become that charcoal that knew it's worth To become that diamond inside the church Ancestors, take our hands
