Broken

Broken concrete under my shoes, still I rise

Built from nothing, but I see hope in my eyes

Skin color doesn’t matter, only green for the seed

If you struggle like I do, then walk with me

Life a twisted story, like a play on repeat

God’s fiction of me, but I won’t accept defeat

Every breath is a step toward the man I must be

If you know this kind of fight, then walk with me

Streets cracked open, I was born in the breaks

A shadow of failure, but I learned from mistakes

Every door slammed shut, I still carved my own way

Every voice said quit, but I fought to stay

Built walls with my hands, carried weight on my back

Turned silence to a rhythm, kept my heart on track

No guidance but prayer, still I learned how to stand

God whispered, “child, it’s already planned”

I was mocked, I was doubted, they said I was done

But I grew from the concrete like a flower in the sun

My life is a parody, pain in the script

But I flip every line when I tighten my grip

So if you’re broken like me, scarred but free

Don’t stay in the rubble, come and walk with me

Broken concrete, still I’m learning to breathe

If you’re down in the dust, then come walk with me

Skin color doesn’t matter, only green in the dream

I’m a shadow of God’s fiction, but I’m breaking the scene

Broken concrete, where the strong are made

If you live in the struggle, don’t be afraid

We can build from the ruins, brick by brick, piece by piece

If you struggle like I do, then walk with me

I’ve seen nights with no light, days with no food

But I carried my spirit, though my body was bruised

Every failure was a teacher, every loss was a key

Unlocked the chains I thought were holding me

I’ve been told I’m a joke, that I’d never be more

But the ashes I came from are the fire I wore

My life feels written like a cruel comedy

But the punchline is strength, and the hero is me

From nothing I gathered, from nothing I built

Carved hope from the stone, washed my hands of guilt

Now I walk with my scars, but I walk upright

Every crack in the pavement still shines with light

If your back’s to the wall, hear this symphony

I’m no king, just a fighter — come and walk with me

Broken concrete, still I’m learning to breathe

If you’re down in the dust, then come walk with me

Skin color doesn’t matter, only green in the dream

I’m a shadow of God’s fiction, but I’m breaking the scene

Broken concrete, where the strong are made

If you live in the struggle, don’t be afraid

We can build from the ruins, brick by brick, piece by piece

If you struggle like I do, then walk with me

Step by step, stone by stone

I built my life from the ground alone

God’s voice in the silence carried me through

If you’re broken, I believe in you

No wall too high, no chain too strong

Every failure just proves you belong

We rise from the cracks, in the dirt we’re free

If you know my fight, then walk with me
