Broken Again - Pharoahe Monch

Gotta move on

Gotta let go

Would’ve opened my eyes, if I would’ve known

After all of this time

Took my heart to mend

That I’d turn around, and it’d be broken again

They told me to see the glass half full cause some see it as half empty

I chose to see the glass twice the size it needed to be

Smashed it against the wall in the kitchen

On the floor going through withdrawals I was itchin'

She rescued me, my heroine to the end

But then she morphed into heroin in a syringe

Around my bicep, I would tie a shoestring

Tap!

five times to find a vein in there

Squeeze 7cc's so I could see the seven seas

And CC all my friends so they could see what I was seeing

But what they saw was a despicable human being

So, I guess they just wasn’t seeing what I was seeing

Convert two into one and an invisible plan

To discover what dreams may come for this invisible man

Sentimental education, beautiful weather

Dam was constantly catching fire

Richard Pryor

Her skin deteriorated

Family infuriated by the myriad of tracks but my train never came

So humiliated, started begging for change

Failed rehabilitation so the scars still remain

Nice clothes became frayed

So isolated and afraid

I smell like a animal my teeth enamel decayed and

I’m relocated in Alabama now

That Maalox and Mylanta now

And it won’t stop the burn

Constantly searching for the answers how

I could kiss the sky without enhancing

But, it’s so hard to learn
