Broken Never Shattered
[Verse 1: Boondox]
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

[Hook: Boondox]
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
[Verse 2: Boondox]
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

[Hook: Boondox]
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

[Verse 3: Redd]
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
[Hook: Boondox]
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
