Broken

Feel you're broken, and you don't exist When you feel you're broken, and you cannot fix it Feel you're broken, and you don't exist When you feel you're broken, and you cannot fix it What does it mean to be broken? The wound is painfully open The beauty is in the finding The darkest parts of the ocean Deep waters in motion The tide was coming in heavy I always knew I was chosen To handle whatever chose me Picking all of my poisons Abandoning my emotions Questions got me feeling like I should've never have spoken Damn right, I'm spilling The narrative, they keep switching All I wanted to do was uplift the woman You gotta move if you ain't backing the vision They wanna see you a victim And giving up on your mission I been hitting some lows And never telling a soul You can have everything and nothing, still nobody knows There's a reason why the doves will never fly with the crows Chapters eventually close Your friends'll turn into foes Everybody's so obsessed with the CEO She's probably got the most troubles that she'll never disclose Dealing with the dark by taking the white to the nose Poker face in action continuing with the show Scrutinised for freeing the truth about the system All she wanted to do was uplift the women Feel you're broken, and you don't exist When you feel you're broken, and you cannot fix it Feel you're broken, and you don't exist When you feel you're broken, and you cannot fix it What does is mean to broken? Feels like your light has been stolen Can't recognise you are golden And you don't see that your loved Smoking weed on your one's Isolating yourself Am I even enough? Now you question yourself Man, this week had been tough Been saying that for a year How do I disappear? Can I hide from my fears? Sometimes a feather can feel like a stone When you so weak you can feel that shit in your bones She was lonely Taking anyone to her home Getting cosy Internal insecurities travelling so deep We all go through our hardships With no life book, so knees to the carpet And pray your being guided by a force so you can't sink Look how far you've, and still you've only just started You exist You alive You are deserving of life You are a beacon of light You are determined to fly You have a journal inside You have the power to write You, have the opportunity everyday to decide Choose love It might just blossom into a new love But whatever happens, know that you've won Feel you're broken, and you don't exist When you feel you're broken, and you cannot fix it Feel you're broken, and you don't exist When you feel you're broken, and you cannot fix it Ain't no happiness in it Fake smiles just to deal with all the pain you've been given As a child, they didn't tell you that you dreams can come into fruition You've never been to that place you envision Sky gave you limits You had no choice but to accept Forced into work to contribute to the profit of Britain That sneeze will be blessed, but the coughing will kill him It's the Armageddon city, this shit might damage your soul They won't take the weight of you when you can't manage the load Like they're just waiting to hear a fucking crack in your bones Generational trauma you've had to deal with alone No father, how do you become a man on your own? Did the best that you could with you tools you were loaned Didn't know how to break the mould and now your raising a clone Gives me comfort to believe you'd want the best for your seed Wishful thinking if the intentions don't align with the deed And If what you hear contradicts you read War ready, but traveled to this country for peace Crabs in a barrel, your neighbour feeling the same shit But he might screw you if someone offers a payslip No one ever told you your mind is not to be played with No one ever taught you 'bout moderation and patience Under all the eyes and the pressure and the scrutiny Why's is mental health a taboo in the black community? Feel you're broken, and you don't exist When you feel you're broken, and you cannot fix it Feel you're broken, and you don't exist When you feel you're broken, and you cannot fix it It shouldn't be a norm to live your life as a tragedy To live your life in a state of confusion and agony Promises you made reflect the promises they gave you And all these harsh experiences don't reflect your age No family to save you No friends to aid you Can't even speak English, so there's no one to explain to Only God to pray to They denied you of hope but you found your way through That's a breakthrough 21, landed in London with hardly any funds 27, tryna get back to being 21 Cos nothing's changed still no money, but more things to pay for So the blood pressure rises slowly by the day Work 2 jobs just so rice is on the children's plate Landlord tells you this is the last time you can be late Health issues that you try to suppress But all your health issues are derived from stress You tried your best, gave an arm and a leg Only tears in a cold house is what you've been left with Self hate for the black skin you were blessed with Hard to believe there's something greater you were destined for Prepping for, gave your life to others, you didn't invest in yours A broken soul selected for God's plan Everything will be what it's meant to when it's in gods hand Feel you're broken, and you don't exist When you feel you're broken, and you cannot fix it Feel you're broken, and you don't exist When you feel you're broken, and you cannot fix it Feel you're broken, and you don't exist When you feel you're broken, and you cannot fix it Feel you're broken, and you don't exist When you feel you're broken, and you cannot fix it
