Broken, Never Shattered - Boondox, Rapper REDD

Ya try to paint me in a corner when ya noticed these broken wings

And I don’t fly much anymore but I know this won’t break the strings

See I’m a little tougher than they give me credit still standing tall

Yeah I might be broken but I know I’m not pathetic So fuck em all

Two shots for the ones in the cheap seats

Hit em with the reload that’s the cheap heat

Underestimated that ain’t nothin' new to me

Fuck around they’ll be givin' you a eulogy

I’ve been kicked down a brick to the cranium

I bear the scars but my will is titanium

And there might be a few dents up in the vest

But the bruising never stopped what’s beatin' in my chest

I’ve been broken never shattered

None of this is a mystery to me

Will of a thunderstorm broken and battered

This is just a piece of me

I’ve been broken never shattered

None of this is a mystery to me

Will of a thunderstorm broken and battered

This is just a piece of me

I don’t play the victim every time that I screw up I take the blame

Anytime the choices that I made ever blew up I’d break the chain

I might come out the other end a little beat up cause life is pain

No that ain’t no time for you to go and put your feet up gotta right the rain

Empty bottles like a ghost from a past life

I could’a relapsed and fucked it up last night

Always a battle but I battle till my last breath

On my knees but I ain’t prayin' for a fast death

The shit ain’t easy always bleeding no sympathy

No signing treaties or conceding I’m the enemy

War with myself my decisions at the center

Tired of the fight but there’s never a surrender

I’ve been broken never shattered

None of this is a mystery to me

Will of a thunderstorm broken and battered

This is just a a piece of me

I’ve been broken never shattered

None of this is a mystery to me

Will of a thunderstorm broken and battered

This is just a piece of me

I wear my heart up on my sleeve with

Scars so deep I could of died if I let em

Bleed see stability is a lie

They give a sheet to help them sleep

Selfish needs to compel the weak-minded

Hell drippin' to sell themselves as sheep

I ain’t no liar but I can see the fire that comes

With a burning desire to try to set aside

The light and be the light they see

Learnin' to be inspired by the hurt

I’ve heard words can help the heal the whole

World if we work

What’s the purpose if we lack in self purpose

I’d be just another act to work rap

Advertise something to purchase

These are facts

I’ve been broken but never hopeless

In fact I better off barely intact

Cause a man’s going to need his mold back

Shredded more skins than a coarse reptilian

I’m forced to never be fucked with

I’m born one in a million

Of course, I never fit in

Shattered souls couldn’t get past the battered

Soul but me I had to grow beyond those backwoods roads

I’ve been broken never shattered

None of this is a mystery to me

Will of a thunderstorm broken and battered

This is just a a piece of me

I’ve been broken never shattered

None of this is a mystery to me

Will of a thunderstorm broken and battered

This is just a piece of me
