Broken Silence

Foxy Brown

[Foxy Brown speaking]

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?

The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

When the wicked came against me to eat up my flesh

My enemies and foes, they stumbled and fell

Though an army may encamp against me

My heart shall not fear

Though war may rise against me

In this I will be confident



[Darius]

I will survive



[Chorus]

Take, these broken wings (these broken wings)

And let them fly again

And let them live so free (you taught me how to fly, fly)

When we hear, the voices sing

The book of love will open up, and let us in



[Foxy Brown]

Feel like I've got this black cloud hangin' over me

It's like this pain is takin' control of me

Every move I make, determines my fate

Feel like I'm dying slow, and that's the shit I hate

The constant pressure, the bullshit rumors

The outcast, I'm the one they love to badge

When the records stop sellin'

And the crowds stop yellin'

All I have is me



Bet you thought I'd die without you

But see how I'm still living

Thought that I would self destruct

But I'm still here, with another one

Even though I felt crumbled, I made it through the rumble

Torn apart, a young woman scorned

Coping with the pain, nearly drove me insane

In the hospital, crying in the pain

All types of medications, flowing through my veins



[Chorus: Darius]

Take, these broken wings (these, broken, wings)

And let them fly again

And let them live so free

When we hear, the voices sing (I will learn, I will learn, how to fly)

The book of love will open up, and let us in



[Foxy Brown]

Please, understand I'm a human first

And before Foxy Brown, I'm just still Inga

And my family, is my whole life

And I cherish this ring that you put on my finger

We survived through the roughest stones

Sleeping with our baby pit bull on the basement floors

And through it all,
