Have you ever been broken hearted? I mean broke like Heartbroke Joe

All that love for what a cheater? (your misleader)

You're all…
…been broken hearted? I mean broke like Heartbroke Joe
You don't want no love cause your love departed?
Like, you miss all them dates…

Life in the pen ain't for me ‘cause I'd rather die
But don't cry through your despair
I wonder…
…in this drug life
God, help me, ‘cause I'm starvin', can't get a job
So I resort to violent robberies, my life is hard

…bitter herb
That blooms but one day a year, by the riverside —
I'd bring it here:
Apply it gently
To the love you've lent…
…stretches as far as I can see
Knee deep, trudging along —
The seagull weeps ‘so long' —
I'm humming a threshing song —
Until…

While I climbed the tree-house. Then how I hollered!
Cause she'd lain, as still as a stone, in my palm, for a…

Apply it gently to the love you've lent me

…and wet after the rain
Little sister, he will be back again
I have washed a thousand spiders down the drain
Spiders' ghosts hang…
…half-word
Heavy and hollow, hit by a brown bird
We stood and watched her gape like a rattlesnake
And pant and labor over every intake
I…

…me, cause I'd rather die
But don't cry through your despair
I wonder if the Lord still cares, for us n*ggas on welfare
And who cares…
…with this Thug's Life
Staying strapped forever trapped in this drug life
God help me, cause I'm starving, can't get a job
So I…
…peers
Mislead from childhood where I went astray
Till this day I still pray for a better way
Can't help but feel hopeless and heartbroke…

…and triumph

Kilos consigned 'em, do as I say like Simon
And you too will diamond blind hun

Trying to get up out…
…by the shit that I've observed
Just looking at you coons got a nigga lost for words
Verge of insanity, I'm at my crossroads
Shame…
