Frame Still Broken

Young n*gga came from rags to riches,

turned my problems into bad decisions.

Now they see me with the baddest b*tches,

same ones laughed, now askin’ for forgiveness.

Remember nights I ain’t have sh*t,

had to stretch one plate, learned math different.

Now this money got ’em actin’ different,

change made change—now they tryna fit in it.

(crack)

Truth be told, it get loud when the room silent,

Penthouse floors but my thoughts still violent.

Lost real ones, yeah that pain hit different,

Smile for the camera, frame still broken.

(snap back)

But I shake it off, count it up, I’m straight.

Turned scars into leverage, made pain my weight.

Said I’d make it, they ain’t wanna believe me,

Now my name ring bells—no intercom needed.

Say you love me, but I don’t receive it,

Talk cheap, I been readin’ between it.

Playboy lifestyle, Hugh Hef’ season,

You ain’t the only one—I got plenty reasons.

I ain’t proud of every road I took

But I stand on every step I made

Survival turn a heart cold quick

When love only show on payday

They don’t see the weight I carry

Just the wins on display

Tryna outrun my reflection

But it keep lookin’ my way

Made it out, but the pain still visit

New money, same scars, still livin’

Penthouse views, but my mind still trippin’

Smile for the pic, but the frame still missin’

If I change, it’s ’cause life did it

I survived every storm they didn’t

Made it out, yeah I really lived it

If it cost my peace, I still paid it
