Lyrics:
Born in the generation gap
Slapped before our first breath
Judged by where we chose to land
Right up to our death
Can't see the forest at all
Through our family tree
Born into strengths and weaknesses
Judgments and beliefs
Tattooed in the cradle
Predestined by our birth
Tattooed in the cradle
But we decide our worth
Ain't whether born with or learned
It ain't whose to blame
It's how to erase the label
Not cover up the pain
Letting someone else live our life
Is a form of dying
It's like walking suicide
But we're worth reviving
Tattooed in the cradle
Predestined by our birthTattooed in the cradle
But we decide our worth
That tattoo is a blueprint
Of what we're here to do
To unify the left and the right
Remember the true youTattooed in the cradle
Predestined by our birthTattooed in the cradle
But we decide our worth
Yes, we decide our worth
Only you can decide your worth
