I’ve Been Broken

[Intro – soft, melodic, reflective]
Yeah…
I’ve been broke, I know the feel
Heart open… but the love wasn’t real

⸻

[Verse 1 – melodic rap]
I’ve been broke, yeah, I know that feel
Pockets empty, nights so real
Gave my heart… thought it was gold
But it turned to dust, love wasn’t sold

Counting every dime, tryna make my climb
Fake smiles, fake love, wastin’ all my time
People talk, people watch, yeah, they never know
The struggle in my soul, the pain that shows

⸻

[Pre-Hook – rise in melody]
I stayed awake, thinking ’bout yesterday
All the love I gave… slipped away
But I won’t break, I won’t fade
I’ll turn these scars into a blade

⸻

[Hook – catchy, singable]
I know how it feel… yeah, I’ve walked that road
Heavy heart, light pockets, carryin’ the load
Open up, got burned, but my story’s told
Now I rise from the pain, turn it all into gold

⸻

[Verse 2 – deeper, reflective]
Late nights, city lights, counting dreams I chase
Seen the fake, felt the hate, gotta pick up the pace
Every setback, every fall, taught me to stand tall
Now I move with fire, never scared to brawl

Money come, money go, but respect stay
Fake love fade… real ones stay
Heart bruised, but I won’t fold
I write my story in letters bold

⸻

[Pre-Hook – melodic build]
I’ve been lost, I’ve been found, felt the pain around
But I won’t drown, no I won’t drown
Every scar… every tear… I wear like a crown
From the ashes… I rise from the ground

⸻

[Hook – repeat, stronger melody]
I know how it feel… yeah, I’ve walked that road
Heavy heart, light pockets, carryin’ the load
Open up, got burned, but my story’s told
Now I rise from the pain, turn it all into gold

⸻

[Bridge – slower, emotional, almost sung]
Sometimes the night feels too long
Sometimes my heart sings the wrong song
But I keep moving… keep moving on
From broken pieces… I become strong

⸻

[Verse 3 – motivational, uplifting]
From the struggle comes the strength, I see it clear
I don’t need fake love, I don’t need fear
Every heartbreak, every lie, made me wise
Now I aim for stars, reach the skies

No more empty nights, no more cold fights
I carry hope in my soul, light up the heights
I’ve been broke… yeah, I know the feel
But I rise every time, my wounds heal

⸻

[Hook – final, epic, with melody rising]
I know how it feel… yeah, I’ve walked that road
Heavy heart, light pockets, carryin’ the load
Open up, got burned, but my story’s told
Now I rise from the pain, turn it all into gold

⸻

[Outro – reflective, fading]
Yeah… I’ve been broke
I know how it feel
But I rise… I rise
And my story’s real
