Broken
Dean Josiah Cover, Simbiatu Ajikawo
Feeling broken and you don't exist
When you're feeling broken and you cannot fix it
Feeling broken and you don't exist
When you're feeling broken and you cannot fix it
What does it mean to be broken?
A wound is painfully open
The beauty is in the finding the darkest parts of the ocean
Deep waters in motion, the tide was coming in heavy
I always knew I was chosen to handle whatever chose me
Picking all of my poisons, abandoning my emotions
Questions got me feeling like I should never have spoken
Damn right I'm spillin', the narrative, they keep switchin'
All I wanted to do was uplift the women
You gotta move if you ain't backin' the vision
They wanna see you a victim and giving up on your mission
I been hittin' some lows and never tellin' a soul
You can have everything and nothing, still nobody knows
There's a reason why the doves will never fly with the crows
Chapters eventually closed, your friends will turn into foes
Everybody so obsessed with the CEO
She probably got the most troubles, that she'll never disclose
Dealing with the dark by taking the white to the nose
Poker face and now she'll continue in with the show
Scrutinize for freeing the truth about the system
All she wanted to do was uplift the women
Feeling broken and you don't exist
When you're feeling broken and you cannot fix it
Feeling broken and you don't exist
When you're feeling broken and you cannot fix it
What does it mean to be broken?
Feels that your light has been stolen
Can't recognize you are golden
And you don't see that you're loved
Smoking weed on your ones, isolating yourself
Am I even enough? Then you question yourself
Man, this week has been tough, been saying that for a year
How do I disappear? Can I hide from my fears?
Sometimes a feather can feel like a stone
When your soul weak, you can feel that shit in your bones
She was lonely, taking anyone to the home
Getting cozy, internal insecurities travelling so deep
We all go through our hardships
But no life books show knees to the carpet
And pray you're being guided by a force, so you can't sink
Look how far you've come and see you've only just started
You exist, you alive, you are deserving of life
You are a beacon of light, you are determined to fly
You have a journal inside, you have the power to write
You have the opportunity every day to decide, choose love
It might just blossom into a new love
But whatever happens, just know that you've won
Feeling broken and you don't exist
When you're feeling broken and you cannot fix it
Feeling broken and you don't exist
When you're feeling broken and you cannot fix-
Ain't no happiness in it
Fake smiles just to deal with all the pain you've been given
As a child, they don't tell you that your dreams can come into fruition
You never been to that place you envision
Sky gave you limits you had no choice but to accept
Forced into work to contribute to the profit of Britain
That sneeze'll be blessed, but the coffin'll kill 'em
It's the armageddon city, this shit might damage your soul
They won't take the weight of you when you can manage the load
Like they're just waiting to hear a fucking crack in your bones
Generational trauma you've had to deal with alone
No father, how do you become a man on your own?
Did the best that you could with the tools you were loaned
Didn't know how to break the mould and now you're raising a clone
Gives me comfort to believe you want the best for your seed
Wishful thinking, if the intentions don't align with the deed
And if what you hear contradicts what you read, war ready
They travel to this country for peace
Crabs in a barrel, your neighbour feeling the same shit
But he might screw you, if someone offers a payslip
No one ever told you your mind is not to be played with
No one ever taught you 'bout moderation and patience
Under all the eyes and the pressure and the scrutiny
Why is mental health a taboo in the Black community?
Feeling broken and you don't exist
When you're feeling broken and you cannot fix it
Feeling broken and you don't exist
When you're feeling broken and you cannot fix-
It shouldn't be a norm to live your life as a tragedy
To live your life in a state of confusion and agony
Promises you made reflect the promises they gave you
And all these harsh experiences don't reflect your age
No family to save you, no friends to aid you
Can't even speak English
so there's no-one to explain to
only God to pray to
They denied you of your hope, but you found a way through
That's a breakthrough
twenty-one, landed in London with hardly any funds
twenty-seven, tryna get back to being twenty-one
'Cause nothing's changed, still no money, but more things to pay for
So the blood pressure rises slowly, by the day
Work two jobs, just so rice is on the children's plate
Landlord tells you, "This is the last time you can be late"
Health issues that you try to suppress
But all your health issues are derived from stress
You tried your best, gave an arm and a leg
Only tears and a cold house is what you've been left with
Self-hate for the Black skin you were blessed with
Hard to believe there's something greater you were destined for
Prepping for, gave your life to others who didn't invest in yours
A broken soul, selected for God's plan
Everything will be what's it's meant to, when it's in God's hands
Feeling broken and you don't exist
When you're feeling broken and you cannot fix it
Feeling broken and you don't exist
When you're feeling broken and you cannot fix it
Feeling broken and you don't exist
When you're feeling broken and you cannot fix it
Feeling broken and you don't exist
When you're feeling broken and you cannot fix it
Feeling broken and you don't exist
Sentendoti spezzato e non esisti
When you're feeling broken and you cannot fix it
Quando ti senti spezzato e non riesci a sistemarlo
Feeling broken and you don't exist
Sentendoti spezzato e non esisti
When you're feeling broken and you cannot fix it
Quando ti senti spezzato e non riesci a sistemarlo
What does it mean to be broken?
Cosa significa sentirsi spezzati?
A wound is painfully open
Una ferita è dolorosamente aperta
The beauty is in the finding the darkest parts of the ocean
La bellezza è nel trovare le parti più oscure dell'oceano
Deep waters in motion, the tide was coming in heavy
Acque profonde in movimento, la marea stava arrivando pesante
I always knew I was chosen to handle whatever chose me
Ho sempre saputo di essere stato scelto per gestire qualsiasi cosa mi scegliesse
Picking all of my poisons, abandoning my emotions
Scegliendo tutti i miei veleni, abbandonando le mie emozioni
Questions got me feeling like I should never have spoken
Le domande mi fanno sentire come se non avrei mai dovuto parlare
Damn right I'm spillin', the narrative, they keep switchin'
Certo che sto versando, la narrazione, continuano a cambiare
All I wanted to do was uplift the women
Tutto quello che volevo fare era sollevare le donne
You gotta move if you ain't backin' the vision
Devi muoverti se non stai sostenendo la visione
They wanna see you a victim and giving up on your mission
Vogliono vederti vittima e rinunciare alla tua missione
I been hittin' some lows and never tellin' a soul
Ho colpito alcuni bassi e non ho mai detto un'anima
You can have everything and nothing, still nobody knows
Puoi avere tutto e niente, ancora nessuno lo sa
There's a reason why the doves will never fly with the crows
C'è un motivo per cui le colombe non voleranno mai con i corvi
Chapters eventually closed, your friends will turn into foes
I capitoli alla fine si chiudono, i tuoi amici si trasformano in nemici
Everybody so obsessed with the CEO
Tutti così ossessionati dal CEO
She probably got the most troubles, that she'll never disclose
Probabilmente ha i problemi più grossi, che non rivelerà mai
Dealing with the dark by taking the white to the nose
Affrontando il buio prendendo il bianco al naso
Poker face and now she'll continue in with the show
Faccia da poker e ora continuerà con lo spettacolo
Scrutinize for freeing the truth about the system
Scrutinata per aver liberato la verità sul sistema
All she wanted to do was uplift the women
Tutto quello che voleva fare era sollevare le donne

Feels that your light has been stolen
Sembra che la tua luce sia stata rubata
Can't recognize you are golden
Non riesci a riconoscere che sei d'oro
And you don't see that you're loved
E non vedi che sei amato
Smoking weed on your ones, isolating yourself
Fumando erba da solo, isolandoti
Am I even enough? Then you question yourself
Sono abbastanza? Poi ti metti in discussione
Man, this week has been tough, been saying that for a year
Uomo, questa settimana è stata dura, lo dico da un anno
How do I disappear? Can I hide from my fears?
Come posso sparire? Posso nascondermi dalle mie paure?
Sometimes a feather can feel like a stone
A volte una piuma può sembrare una pietra
When your soul weak, you can feel that shit in your bones
Quando la tua anima è debole, puoi sentire quella merda nelle tue ossa
She was lonely, taking anyone to the home
Era sola, portando chiunque a casa
Getting cozy, internal insecurities travelling so deep
Diventando accogliente, insicurezze interne che viaggiano così in profondità
We all go through our hardships
Tutti passiamo attraverso le nostre difficoltà
But no life books show knees to the carpet
Ma nessun libro di vita mostra le ginocchia sul tappeto
And pray you're being guided by a force, so you can't sink
E prega di essere guidato da una forza, così non puoi affondare
Look how far you've come and see you've only just started
Guarda quanto sei andato avanti e vedi che hai appena iniziato
You exist, you alive, you are deserving of life
Esisti, sei vivo, meriti la vita
You are a beacon of light, you are determined to fly
Sei un faro di luce, sei determinato a volare
You have a journal inside, you have the power to write
Hai un diario dentro, hai il potere di scrivere
You have the opportunity every day to decide, choose love
Hai l'opportunità ogni giorno di decidere, scegli l'amore
It might just blossom into a new love
Potrebbe sbocciare in un nuovo amore
But whatever happens, just know that you've won
Ma qualunque cosa accada, sappi solo che hai vinto

Quando ti senti spezzato e non riesci a sistemarlo

Sentendoti spezzato e non esisti

Quando ti senti spezzato e non riesci a sistemar-
Ain't no happiness in it
Non c'è felicità in esso
Fake smiles just to deal with all the pain you've been given
Sorrisi falsi solo per affrontare tutto il dolore che ti è stato dato
As a child, they don't tell you that your dreams can come into fruition
Da bambino, non ti dicono che i tuoi sogni possono diventare realtà
You never been to that place you envision
Non sei mai stato in quel posto che immagini
Sky gave you limits you had no choice but to accept
Il cielo ti ha dato limiti che non avevi scelta se non accettare
Forced into work to contribute to the profit of Britain
Costretto a lavorare per contribuire al profitto della Gran Bretagna
That sneeze'll be blessed, but the coffin'll kill 'em
Quell'attacco di starnuto sarà benedetto, ma la tosse li ucciderà
It's the armageddon city, this shit might damage your soul
È la città dell'armageddon, questa merda potrebbe danneggiare la tua anima
They won't take the weight of you when you can manage the load
Non prenderanno il tuo peso quando puoi gestire il carico
Like they're just waiting to hear a fucking crack in your bones
Come se stessero solo aspettando di sentire un cazzo di crepa nelle tue ossa
Generational trauma you've had to deal with alone
Trauma generazionale che hai dovuto affrontare da solo
No father, how do you become a man on your own?
Senza padre, come diventi un uomo da solo?
Did the best that you could with the tools you were loaned
Hai fatto del tuo meglio con gli strumenti che ti sono stati prestati
Didn't know how to break the mould and now you're raising a clone

Gives me comfort to believe you want the best for your seed
Mi conforta pensare che tu voglia il meglio per il tuo seme
Wishful thinking, if the intentions don't align with the deed
Pensiero desideroso, se le intenzioni non si allineano con l'atto
And if what you hear contradicts what you read, war ready
E se quello che senti contraddice quello che leggi, pronto per la guerra

Crabs in a barrel, your neighbour feeling the same shit

But he might screw you, if someone offers a payslip

No one ever told you your mind is not to be played with
Nessuno ti ha mai detto che la tua mente non è da giocare
No one ever taught you 'bout moderation and patience
Nessuno ti ha mai insegnato la moderazione e la pazienza
Under all the eyes and the pressure and the scrutiny

They denied you of your hope, but you found a way through
Ti hanno negato la speranza, ma hai trovato una via d'uscita
