Lyrics
0:01Broken Silence (featuring Darius)-Foxy Brown
0:06The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
0:09The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
0:12When the wicked came against me to eat up my flesh
0:15My enemies and foes, they stumbled and fell
0:18Though an army may encamp against me
0:20My heart shall not fear
0:22Though war may rise against me
0:24In this I will be confident
0:42I will survive
0:47Take, these broken wings (these broken wings)
0:51And let them fly again
0:53And let them live so free (you taught me how to fly, fly)
0:57When we hear, the voices sing
1:00The book of love will open up, and let us in
1:06Feel like I've got this black cloud hangin' over me
1:09It's like this pain is takin' control of me
1:11Every move I make, determines my fate
1:13Feel like I'm dying slow, and that's the shit I hate
1:16The constant pressure, the bullshit rumors
1:18The outcast, I'm the one they love to badge
1:19When the records stop sellin'
1:21And the crowds stop yellin'
1:22All I have is me
1:26Bet you thought I'd die without you
1:28But see how I'm still living
1:31Thought that I would self destruct
1:32But I'm still here, with another one
1:36Even though I felt crumbled, I made it through the rumble
1:40Torn apart, a young woman scorned
1:41Coping with the pain, nearly drove me insane
1:43In the hospital, crying in the pain
1:45All types of medications, flowing through my veins
1:47Take, these broken wings (these, broken, wings)
1:49And let them fly again
1:50And let them live so free
1:54When we hear, the voices sing (I will learn, I will learn, how to fly)
1:59The book of love will open up, and let us in
2:04Please, understand I'm a human first
2:06And before Foxy Brown, I'm just still Inga
2:08And my family, is my whole life
2:11And I cherish this ring that you put on my finger
2:14We survived through the roughest stones
2:16Sleeping with our baby pit bull on the basement floors
2:18And through it all, you and I felt we could be strong
2:21All through the rough times, through the pains and storms
2:23And, it's like when it rains, it pours
2:25All they see is gray and blue, they don't know you like I do
2:29Five years committed, y'all just don't understand
2:30No career, no fame, meant more than my man
2:33And, to my fans that slept through it all
2:36Through the rise and the fall, I love y'all all
2:38Even when I nearly lost my mind
2:40Some remained loyal, ignored the headlines and
2:43Take, these broken wings (take, these broken wings)
2:46And let them fly again
2:48And let them live so free (let em fly, let em fly)
2:53When we hear, the voices sing (voices sing)
2:57The book of love will open up, and let us in
3:02Story of my legacy, this can't be life
3:05Lord, I feel like I'm fallin'
3:07Praying for strength, I'm losing my mind
3:09And, how can you fly when your wings are broken?
3:12And, how can I smile when my heart is broken?
3:14Through all the pain I've felt, that's the hand I'm dealt
3:17My personal problem, stays in my home
3:19Know I won't discuss them, reporters I don't trust 'em
3:23Take, these broken wings (these broken wings)
3:25And let them fly again
3:27And let them live so free (I wanna see them fly)
3:30When we hear, the voices sing
3:35The book of love will open up, and let us in
3:38Take, these broken wings (take these broken wings)
3:46And let them fly again (oohh)
3:50And let them live so free (let them live so free, so free)
3:54When we hear, the voices sing (yeahh)
3:55The book of love will open up, and let us in
4:00Teach me how to fly
4:02(ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh-ooh)
4:05Teach me how to fly
4:06I believe, in the power, of love
4:17(ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
4:19Can't you hear me, don't you hear me?
4:22(ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh-ooh)
4:23I'm calling out to you
4:28Foxy help me sing
4:31(ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
4:32These broken wings
