Broken Souls & Broken Homes

Where I'm from is full of broken souls

And December's always cold

We got broken homes, we got broken hopes

And this is how it go, and this is how it goes

Where I'm from is full of broken souls

And December's always cold

We got broken homes, we got broken bones

And this is how it go, and that's just how we grow

And this is how it goes

So who do I call now?

I give it all now

Just to be fighting in the kitchen

Hearing the crash of broken dishes

Thought it was all there

'Cause what is heaven

But a place to go and rest your head

Just to feel your soul's resting

But I don't beg

Lord, will you answer me?

You were just a memory

But your silence was deafening

Oh, she's so beautiful

If you hearing this, you know I tried

Kept it real, I never lied

Been through hell, I never cried

I was young and traumatized

Like I never treated like a child

Say I was young and reckless

Right now I suffer from a broken soul

Where I'm from is full of broken bones

Broken homes and broken hopes

Too many children's never coming home

Sad to see your mama crying on the phone

Say I've seen dark days

Coming from a black race

I was weeping in the kitchen

When my city had the bright days

Now ain't no government

Ain't nobody helping us

The nation is in shambles

Came from candlelight to the candles

That's how the story goes

Where I'm from is full of broken souls

And December's always cold

We got broken homes, we got broken bones

And this is how it go, and this is how it goes

Where I'm from is full of broken souls

And December's always cold

We got broken homes, we got broken bones

And this is how it go, and that's just how we grow

And this is how it goes

To the days

If you hearing this, it's too late

If you hearing this, you know I tried

Kept it real, I never lied

Been through hell, I never cried

I was young and traumatized

Like I never treated like a child

Where I'm from is full of broken souls

And December's always cold

We got broken homes, we got broken hopes

And this is how it go, and this is how it goes

Where I'm from is full of broken souls

And December's always cold

We got broken homes, we got broken bones

And this is how it go, and that's just how we grow

And this is how it goes
