[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, you and I felt we could be strong
|
All through the rough times, through the pains and storms
|
And, it's like when it rains, it pours
|
All they see is gray and blue, they don't know you like I do
|
Five years committed, y'all just don't understand
|
No career, no fame, meant more than my man
|
And, to my fans that slept through it all
|
Through the rise and the fall, I love y'all all
|
Even when I nearly lost my mind
|
Some remained loyal, ignored the headlines and
|
|
[Chorus: Darius]
|
Take, these broken wings (take, these broken wings)
|
And let them fly again
|
And let them live so free (let em fly, let em fly)
|
When we hear, the voices sing (voices sing)
|
The book of love will open up, and let us in
|
|
[Foxy Brown]
|
Story of my legacy, this can't be life
|
Lord, I feel like I'm fallin'
|
Praying for strength, I'm losing my mind
|
And, how can you fly when your wings are broken?
|
And, how can I smile when my heart is broken?
|
Through all the pain I've felt, that's the hand I'm dealt
|
My personal problem, stays in my home
|
Know I won't discuss them, reporters I don't trust 'em
|
|
[Chorus: Darius]
|
Take, these broken wings (these broken wings)
|
And let them fly again
|
And let them live so free (I wanna see them fly)
|
When we hear, the voices sing
|
The book of love will open up, and let us in
|
|
Take, these broken wings (take these broken wings)
|
And let them fly again (oohh)
|
And let them live so free (let them live so free, so free)
|
When we hear, the voices sing (yeahh)
|
The book of love will open up, and let us in
|
|
[Darius]
|
Teach me how to fly
|
(ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh-ooh)
|
Teach me how to fly
|
I believe, in the power, of love
|
(ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
|
Can't you hear me, don't you hear me?
|
(ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh-ooh)
|
I'm calling out to you
|
Foxy help me sing
|
(ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
|
These broken wings
