Broken Arrows

[Verse 1]

Uh!

All this weight holds a tone

When they title you the one

Where I'm from, ain't no love

Just a barrel and a drum

On my son, I ain't done

Shit, my story just begun

Ain't no slipping, sneakers done

When there ain't nowhere to run, call me dumb

Rather wind up in a clip than a bum

Get your gun, niggas rather see you die than you won

In the slum, this is fun

Though it traumatizes some

Here it comes, second guessing and I've only just begun

I lost so many people yet I survived, I'm feeling guilty

Know this work will last a few lifetimеs, they'll never kill mе

Gotta make 'em more with hearts like mine, they did me filthy

If I ain't somewhere in the book with they rank niggas, I will be

Where do we start?

Did all this loathing but somewhere it fell apart

Still buying diamonds, gotta shine, 'cause hell is dark

Friends smile, haters smile, they hard to tell apart

Gotta stay sharp...

[Chorus]

This hell is dark

I know I'm bleeding, can't you tell that I've been shot?

I'm feeling dizzy, someone caught me in the heart

Don't get comfortable, should've taught me from the start

I wouldn't listen, now it's time for me to harp

Choices you gave me laid me right there in the park

Thought it was over, but somewhere I found a spark

Knew you were waiting on the day I fell apart

Broken arrows...

[Verse 2]

Bought an ends, out the door

But I settle for some more

Ain't no u-turns in war

When that peddle hits the floor

And I swore, to get back everything I took out the store, times 4

I caught back up, ain't gotta look up no more

Tied score, I'ma soar

My survival is my allure

I'ma lie, hold my hand on the bible, fuck the law

I adore, the smell of pressure gives me bundles galore

I'm in awe, mixing these words up like I been here before

Some friends will always be worthy, don't introduce them as family

I black in every direction, I know when Judas is near me

Don't think that I'm an exception

The biggest bruises must bare me

I've had my fair share of troubles

Careful couldn't compare me, uh

My gifts are multiplying, it's easy to double often

Too dangerous for your rap list, keep me the fuck up off 'em

You owe me all of mine, copping pleas won't disrupt distortion

Thumbing through this money while I'm talking, nigga

[Chorus]

This hell is dark

I know I'm bleeding, can't you tell that I've been shot?

I'm feeling dizzy, someone caught me in the heart

Don't get comfortable, should've taught me from the start

I wouldn't listen, now it's time for me to harp

Choices you gave me laid me right there in the park

Thought it was over, but somewhere I found a spark

Knew you were waiting on the day I fell apart

Broken arrows...

[Verse 3]

Uh, feel like I'm due for redemption, karma's a horrid stat

Ain't nothing worse than maintaining, if you can call it that

When I create, I don't listen, critics put all the traps

Picture receivers giving orders to the quarter back

Business is across the map

Lions changing the order of the almanac

I ain't an easy victim, wrist comes with a torch attached

Product of the Southside, shining star off the orphan batch

These days the innocent get strays, your organ snatch

Never take our conversation across the street

Can't hear you out, ain't no justification for deceipt

I put some bread away, just in case you were off your feet

But you went AWOL, justification for the weak

If you should fuck up my day it's probation for the week

Stomping my ways through cities, most states, they call for keeps

Yapping will get you killed, they lie when they say talk is cheap

You need a better understanding, take a walk with me

[Chorus]

This hell is dark

I know I'm bleeding, can't you tell that I've been shot?

I'm feeling dizzy, someone caught me in the heart

Don't get comfortable, should've taught me from the start

I wouldn't listen, now it's time for me to harp

Choices you gave me laid me right there in the park

Thought it was over, but somewhere I found a spark

Knew you were waiting on the day I fell apart

[Outro]

Trying to be the best version I can be

But the ghetto made a murder out of me (Made a murder)

Wasn't always the person that you see (Nah)

Just looking for a moment I can breathe (Just tryna breathe, nigga, just tryna breathe)
