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? A wound is painfully open The beauty is in the findin' the darkest parts of the ocean Deep waters in motion, the tide was comin' in heavy I always knew I was chosen to handle whatever chose me Pickin' all of my poisons, abandonin' my emotions Questions got me feelin' like I shouldn't never have spoken Damn right I'm spillin', the narrative, they keep switchin' All I wanted to do was uplift the women You gotta move if you ain't backin' the vision They wanna see you a victim and givin' up on your mission I been hittin' some lows and never tellin' 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 will turn into foes Everybody's so obsessed with the CEOs She probably got the most troubles that she'll never disclose Dealin' with the dark by takin' the white to the nose Poker face, an act she'll continue in with the show Scrutinise for freein' the truth about the system All she wanted to do was uplift the women SongtexteFeel 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? Feels like your light has been stolen Can't recognise you are golden And you don't see that you're loved Smokin' weed on your ones, isolatin' yourself "Am I even enough?", then you question yourself "Man, this week has been tough," been sayin' that for a year How do I disappear? Can I hide from my fears? Sometimes, a feather can feel like a stone When your soul weak, you can feel that shit in your bones She was lonely, takin' anyone to the home Gettin' cozy, internal insecurities travellin' so deep We all go through our hardships But no life books, so knees to the carpet And pray you're bein' guided by a force so you can't sink Look how far you've come and see you've only just started You exist, you alive, you are deservin' 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 every day to decide, choose love It might just blossom into a new love But whatever happens, just 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 your dreams can come into fruition You 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'll be blessed, but the coffin'll kill 'em It's the armageddon city, this shit might damage your soul They won't take the weight off you when you can't manage the load Like they're just waitin' 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 the tools you were loaned Didn't know how to break the mould and now you're raisin' a clone Gives me comfort to believe you want the best for your seed Wishful thinkin', if the attentions don't align with the deed And if what you hear contradicts what you read, war ready They travel to this country for peace Crabs in a barrel, your neighbour feelin' 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 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 your hope, but you found a way through That's a breakthrough Twenty-one, landed in London with hardly any funds Twenty-seven, tryna get back to bein' twenty-one 'Cause nothing's changed, still no money, but more things to pay for So the blood pressure rises slowly by the day Work two 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 and 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 somethin' greater you were destined for Preppin' 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 God's hands 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 Aus Songtexte Mania
