[Intro: V-Nuxx] This for my dudes Who have broken dreams The talents and skills to be whatever they wanted But somewhere along the line Their dreams got lost man It's Knuckles, Slaine what's good man? Trump, let's get it in
[V-Nuxx:] I remember Jay Rich we grew up together Spittin game at little dames trying to fuck whatever 10 years old, already with a lust for cheddar He was smart though, for real the young buck was clever A few years went by, we still stuck together Plottin armed robberies to get bucks for leathers Played with guns, it was fun to clutch Berettas But up in school my dude still had his stuff together On the court he would score, I would scream on the refs (that ain't no foul) He used to study on the low, I would cheat on the test When he started sellin crack said it was easy to chef Then I heard he caught a body stabbed a fiend in the steps I needed a breath, his dream was to grow up to be rich To be a astronaut with a house and the V6 But he switched, the streets turned to man to a goon I always thought he'd be the first black man on the moon, damn
[Hook: Cyrus DeShield] I, just don't know why, my eyes won't cry Guess that they're broken These lies, mask and disguise, my past I can't hide I guess that I'm broken
[Slaine:] Yeah... the sidewalks are lined with trap doors The city maze is impossible to escape All the shitty days that remind us of environments so mindless And violence is followed by foot chases and sirens Leap frog with police dogs, dirty piece tossed [From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/s/slaine-lyrics/broken-lyrics.html ] Palms greased cause these pigs gotta eat more Phil had the I'll took connect down in B-more Every other week it's up and down like a seesaw Cold blooded beast, dude even fed his niece raw Used to be a good girl, turned to a cheap whore Nowadays everybody's caught up in that street law They found that bitch's body blue, down by the seashore I ain't write shit to glorify it or exaggerate I ain't write these lyrics to be shockin or to agitate Every other week it seems I see another tragic wake Inside this broken world full of kids who never had a break
[Hook]
[V-Nuxx:] This life is real, got friends doin life in jail And we all tryin to eat so we fight for meals Never been the type to squeal, I stand on my own two Funny how when you broke your people disown you The actuality of this life, is stabbin me with a knife You see the flames when the heaters ignite Fiends with a pipe, hustlers movin greed in the night The demon's in sight, the devil still schemin is trife
[Slaine:] And all I see, is this beast that keeps eating it's young Deceit and lies from the serpent that's the media's tongue On the surface it would seem easy for me to become Drunk on hard liquor, chewin pills, I need to be numb Not to sound stupid really, I don't mean to be dumb But all it takes where I'm from is a scheme and a gun And a whip and a bitch and some coke and a drink And some balls and a crew, shit I'm broke and I think Yeah I'm broken
