A Broken Silence

All For What

VERSE 1

He wasn’t born to privilege, but he was born to scrimmage, realised to this

world, there was more than image, knew to succeed, you must ignore your

critics, loved his music, but deplored the business, now, you can sell your

soul and get scores of riches, but in the end result, you’ll be torn and

twisted, lived to the fullest, thought he saw his limits, stayed on his

principles, was to hardcore to pivot, living to rhyme, but later driven to

crime, so cool, most would of thought he aint sinned in his life, things

changed, at the blink of an eye, when he mentioned, ‘I just got to do a

thing for this guy’ said, ‘I’m choked’ looking at his kid, flat broke, five

years down the track, wish he hid, that dope, his pops always spoke about

not mixing with bad folk, now they pulled him from a river, just to give

him a tagged toe.

CHORUS

Rob for the money, steal for the money, man I got to get them dollar bills

for my honey, should I rob for the money, steal for the money, do deals for

the money, look, chill for me honey, should I rob for the money, steal for

the money, got to get them dollar bills, for my honey, should I rob for the

money, steal for the money, do deals for the money, look, chill for me

honey. Life can be funny ( it aint funny) bro that boy got killed, killed

for the...

VERSE 2

A once disciplined kid, became inflicted within, stricken with the

sickness, of living for friends, bad habits of drinking, didn’t pay

dividends, wife gave him the ultimatum, leave or make ends, meet, so for a

while, he lived in deceit, started making that money pile, without bringing

receipts, Mrs is all smiles, thinking its sweet, while his palms are

sweaty, heart skipping a beat, till a night, he got drunk and started

wetting his beak, dipped up in his mix, he aint slept in a week, a once

strong figure, got swept off his feet, said, ‘I’m in hot water’, and I

guess it was deep, said now, ‘I’m probably safer in a cell than the street,

a week later, he knew how well he’d foreseen, selling to some D’s, then he

gave up his team, his crew found him, took his life just to pay for his

deeds.
