[00:09.593]When you're feeling broken, and you cannot fix it
[00:12.250]What does it mean to be broken?
[00:13.577]A wound is painfully open
[00:14.905]The beauty is in the finding the darkest parts of the ocean
[00:18.093]Deep waters in motion, the tide was coming in heavy
[00:21.015]I always knew I was chosen to handle whatever chose me
[00:23.937]Picking all of my poisons, abandoning my emotions
[00:27.124]Questions got me feeling like I should never have spoken
[00:30.312]Damn right I’m spillin', the narrative, they keep switchin'
[00:33.500]All I wanted to do was uplift the women
[00:37.218]You gotta move if you ain’t backin' the vision
[00:39.609]They wanna see you a victim and giving up on your mission
[00:42.531]I been hittin' some lows and never tellin' a soul
[00:45.719]You can have everything and nothing, still nobody knows
[00:48.640]There’s a reason why the doves will never fly with the crows
[00:51.562]Chapters eventually closed, your friends will turn into foes
[00:55.015]Everybody so obsessed with the CEO
[00:57.671]She probably got the most troubles, that she’ll never disclose
[01:01.124]Dealing with the dark by taking the white to the nose
[01:04.046]Poker face and now she’ll continue in with the show
[01:07.233]Scrutinize for freeing the truth about the system
[01:10.421]All she wanted to do was uplift the women
[01:12.812]

[01:23.171]When you’re feeling broken and you cannot fix it
[01:25.296]What does it mean to be broken?
[01:26.625]Feels your light has been stolen
[01:28.217]Can’t recognize you are golden
[01:29.811]And you don’t see that you’re loved
[01:31.405]Smoking weed on your ones, isolating yourself
[01:34.448]Am I even enough? Then, you question yourself
[01:37.370]Man, this week has been tough, been saying it for a year
[01:40.558]How do I disappear? Can I hide from my fears?
[01:43.479]Sometimes a feather can feel like a stone
[01:46.136]When your soul weak, you can feel that shit in your bones
[01:49.324]She was lonely, taking anyone to the home
[01:52.244]Getting cozy, internal insecurities travelling so deep
[01:56.693]We all go through our hardships
[01:58.552]But no life books show knees to the carpet
[02:01.740]And pray you're being guided by a force, so you can't sink
[02:04.927]Look how far you've come, and see you've only just started
[02:07.849]You exist, you alive, you are deserving of life
[02:11.036]You are a beacon of light, you are determined to fly
[02:13.959]You have a journal inside you have the power to write
[02:17.146]You have the opportunity every day to decide, choose love
[02:21.593]It might just blossom into a new love
[02:24.779]But whatever happens, just know that you've won
[02:26.905]
[02:27.701]Feeling broken and you don’t exist
[02:30.358]When you’re feeling broken and you cannot fix it
[02:33.810]Feeling broken and you don’t exist
[02:36.468]When you’re feeling broken and you cannot fix it
[02:39.921]Ain't no happiness in it
[02:41.248]Fake smiles just to deal with all the pain you've been given
[02:44.436]As a child, they don't tell you that your dreams can come into fruition
[02:47.889]You never been to that place you envision
[02:50.545]Sky gave you limits you had no choice but to accept
[02:53.468]Forced into work to contribute to the profit of Britain
[02:56.390]That sneeze'll be blessed, but the coffin'll kill 'em
[02:59.578]It's the armageddon city, this shit might damage your soul
[03:02.764]They won't take the weight of you when you can manage the load
[03:05.686]Like they're just waiting to hear a ****ing crack in your bones
[03:08.874]Generational trauma you've had to deal with alone
[03:12.061]No father, how do you become a man on your own?
[03:14.983]Did the best that you could, with the tools you were loaned
[03:17.905]Didn't know how to break the mould, and now you're raising a clone
[03:20.827]Gives me comfort to believe you want the best for your seed
[03:24.014]Wishful thinking, if the attentions don't align with the deed
[03:27.467]And if what you hear contradicts what you read, war ready
[03:31.390]They travel to this country for peace
[03:33.780]Crabs in a barrel, your neighbour feeling the same shit
[03:36.967]But he might screw you, if someone offers a payslip
[03:39.624]No-one ever told you your mind is not to be played with
[03:42.811]No-one ever taught you 'bout moderation and patience
[03:46.000]Under all the eyes, and the pressure, and the scrutiny
[03:48.921]Why is mental health a taboo in the Black community?
[03:51.577]
[03:53.436]Feeling broken and you don’t exist
[03:56.093]When you’re feeling broken and you cannot fix it
[03:59.281]Feeling broken and you don’t exist
[04:02.202]When you’re feeling broken and you cannot fix-
[04:04.858]It shouldn't be a norm to live your life as a tragedy
[04:07.250]To live your life in a state of confusion and agony
[04:10.172]Promises you made reflect the promises they gave you
[04:13.358]And all these harsh experiences don't reflect your age
[04:16.280]No family to save you, no friends to aid you
[04:19.202]Can't even speak English, so there's no-one to explain to, only God to pray to
[04:24.182]They denied you of your hope, but you found a way through
[04:27.371]That's a breakthrough
[04:28.965]21, landed in London with hardly any funds
[04:31.886]27, tryna get back to being 21
[04:34.808]'Cause nothing's changed, still no money, but more things to pay for
[04:38.261]So the blood pressure rises slowly, by the day
[04:40.918]Work two jobs, just so rice is on the children's plate
[04:44.105]Landlord tells you, "This is the last time you can be late"
[04:47.293]Health issues that you try to suppress
[04:49.948]But all your health issues are derived from stress
[04:53.135]You tried your best, gave an arm and a leg
[04:56.058]Only tears and a cold house is what you've been left with
[04:59.245]Self-hate for the Black skin you were blessed with
[05:02.167]Hard to believe there's something greater you were destined for
[05:06.418]Prepping for, gave your life to others who didn't invest in yours
[05:10.402]A broken soul, selected for God's plan
[05:14.652]Everything will be what's it's meant to, when it's in God's hands
[05:17.573]
