Nurture

Born to repeat
Mistakes of my tree
Inspired by survival
Pain is free

In or out
Of this lottery
My family is growing
With others just like me

Protect the turf without hesitation
Watch your back no matter what the situation
Stand and deliver without guarantees
Your life is precious despite the disease 

Sharp extensions to every hand
Navigation is treacherous through my land
Life is cheap, like a grain of sand 
My traumatic living is getting out of hand
