[Foxy Brown speaking] The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked came against me to eat up my flesh My enemies and foes, they stumbled and fell Though an army may encamp against me My heart shall not fear Though war may rise against me In this I will be confident
[Darius] I will survive
[Chorus] Take, these broken wings (these broken wings) And let them fly again And let them live so free (you taught me how to fly, fly) When we hear, the voices sing The book of love will open up, and let us in
[Foxy Brown] Feel like I've got this black cloud hangin' over me It's like this pain is takin' control of me Every move I make, determines my fate Feel like I'm dying slow, and that's the shit I hate The constant pressure, the bullshit rumors The outcast, I'm the one they love to badge When the records stop sellin' And the crowds stop yellin' All I have is me
Bet you thought I'd die without you But see how I'm still living Thought that I would self destruct But I'm still here, with another one Even though I felt crumbled, I made it through the rumble Torn apart, a young woman scorned Coping with the pain, nearly drove me insane In the hospital, crying in the pain All types of medications, flowing through my veins
[Chorus: Darius] Take, these broken wings (these, broken, wings) And let them fly again And let them live so free When we hear, the voices sing (I will learn, I will learn, how to fly) The book of love will open up, and let us in
[Foxy Brown] Please, understand I'm a human first And before Foxy Brown, I'm just still Inga And my family, is my whole life And I cherish this ring that you put on my finger We survived through the roughest stones Sleeping with our baby pit bull on the basement floors And through it all, you and I felt we could be strong All through the rough times, through the pains and storms And, it's like when it rains, it pours All they see is gray and blue, they don't know you like I do Five years committed, y'all just don't understand No career, no fame, meant more than my man And, to my fans that slept through it all Through the rise and the fall, I love y'all all Even when I nearly lost my mind Some remained loyal, ignored the headlines and
[Chorus: Darius] Take, these broken wings (take, these broken wings) And let them fly again And let them live so free (let em fly, let em fly) When we hear, the voices sing (voices sing) The book of love will open up, and let us in
[Foxy Brown] Story of my legacy, this can't be life Lord, I feel like I'm fallin' Praying for strength, I'm losing my mind And, how can you fly when your wings are broken? And, how can I smile when my heart is broken? Through all the pain I've felt, that's the hand I'm dealt My personal problem, stays in my home Know I won't discuss them, reporters I don't trust 'em
[Chorus: Darius] Take, these broken wings (these broken wings) And let them fly again And let them live so free (I wanna see them fly) When we hear, the voices sing The book of love will open up, and let us in
Take, these broken wings (take these broken wings) And let them fly again (oohh) And let them live so free (let them live so free, so free) When we hear, the voices sing (yeahh) The book of love will open up, and let us in
[Darius] Teach me how to fly (ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh-ooh) Teach me how to fly I believe, in the power, of love (ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh) Can't you hear me, don't you hear me? (ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh-ooh) I'm calling out to you Foxy help me sing (ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh) These broken wings
