Broken Now

[Verse One] November '99 my lifestyle declined When my family business died, lost the house I simply cried We've been there since I'm alive, other cities got these vibes That I'm just not feeling at all My salary has stalled ever since Alaska fall And yes I do recall that I'm commissioned to DePaul But now I'm up against a wall, I don't see vision that we saw Cause my profits put on pause, [?] breaking the balls My landlord flaps his jaws, credit card comes with a clause Drop jaw now in awe cause of bills that stacked [Uno Mas] My advance didn't last, matter fact it lacked Uno Mas is red flagged cause my checks bounced back Finances toe tagged, ATM is straight tapped Clearing samples is wack, album gets pushed back [Hook] I'm broken now I can not explain to you I'm broken now I have to laugh from feeling blue [Verse Two] Slowly the pressure beats and slowly disappointment creeps Until the pulse of a major release Way overdue and incomplete I speak the speech that reaches ground zero to mountain peeks But this is only if music biz politics don't take place Instead it seems that we embrace, industry rules and let them save Our works of art, we call it smart when hip hop is now replace By classic case of common place Waste the chance to ground break Enjoy the taste of what could have been fresh but clearly not the best [Uno Mas] I'm depressed like the rest because I be going through test My looks they don't impress and I feel it in my chest [?] Regress stress, my best bets condensed text, perplex mess to progress me to less [Uno Mas] I'm feeling blessed regardless of this music business Fitness is still a mess and I'm first to confess [Hook] [Verse Three] I've lost a part of me since I moved far from the P Started a legacy, now it's just a memory Tends to be excessively regressing me respectively Can't find what's possessing me to want to go back [?] Just as if I was running track with endless laps of penny pinching traps Avoiding sample clearances cause publishing is only half, divided by eight Not only that, I lost my girl Due to the fact she simply didn't understand I'm called to do this [?] They say "ignorance is bliss" we on a quiet riot tip Wonders of one hit, making European trips Loose lyric lips, sailing sadly sinking ships Mildly making sense like Mr. What D Heck [Hook]
