Broken
Broken in a place where my wounds cant be fixed
Torn by the aids and the drugs that killed you when I was six.
Cant get it out my head, Why my world decided to change
I live life to win, only because its a live or die game.
Broken in my heart the day they took me away
All because of a man that choose to rape me that day
Being raised by strangers in different homes
I never got over the fact that momma left me all alone.
Broken in a way that changed my whole life
Gang banging and drugs, and carrying a gun with a knife
Raised in the streets and taught by different men,
Living a life I thought was real, but all for pretend.
Broken into pieces, pieces that cant be fixed
I had to fight my way through but started to get tired of the ****.
I had to make a choice and I had to make it fast,
But than that day came where my time did not last.
I had my mind set on wanting to do the right thing
but how will that happen if life always seem to rain
I had to push and push til my breakthrough came in
Finally I was broken to wanna live life again.
I fought through every war, I surrendered through all the pain
Everything I lost, I took back and regained.
Broken once before but never broken again
I thank god today that he gave me the chance to win.
"Broken"
