John River - Broken Wings lyrics

(Verse 1) Lights out Guess we got no power Time I spend with fam a week probably got 4 hours Girl that's hanging at the beep I love so ‘lowe her Expressing over beats ‘cause I don't do flowers Then I po up, my girl said “Hey boy you gotta grow up I'm happy for you but what happens to you when you blow up?” I said I guess who knows, f** a couple new hoes Then go and pick ya outfit for the Grammys and the Junos ‘Cause we winnin' Praying to the lord ‘cause I'm sinning My n***as out here dying, we ain't make it through the inning See your n***as hit the field they don't touch first base Our n***as hit the field we don't touch dirt plates We never had a chance to swing for the stands Although most of us are pitchers, we sling for the grams I'm in the ring for my mans, to the girl of my dreams One day I'll look you in the eye and put a ring on your hands And sing (Chorus) Girl I know you down on me But you ain't gotta worry, you can count on me Girl don't worry, don't fret, don't fear Girl don't worry, don't shed no tears Cause I promise we gon' make this right Spread my wings and then I'm takin' flight But now we getting by on broken strings But girl I'm try'na fly on, on broken wings Hey girl I think I love you, with all that I am Some days I wonder if I'm doing all that I can I wanna show you I'm a star, but prove I'm a man Then I go and f** some ho and say it's all for the fans You see it's all in your man I gotta get my sh** right Sad thing is she don't understand what this sh** like I'm out doing shows, it's hard as hell to sit tight It's not that I got options, it's that I gotta pick right See my puddle ‘cause I weep Too many girls I smuggle just to cuddle in the sheets Sometimes I struggle with belief In a God, Bible scriptures muddled from my teeth Unfortunately seems to lack the emphasis of priest When I rob, they say that I'm a n***a, I'm a thief Only reason that I steal, ‘cause a n***as gotta eat Doctor told me I should sleep, mother told me I should weep Know she worry with the fact I'm losing n***as in the streets But it's peace (Chorus X2)
