4 ContributorsBroken Record Lyrics [Intro] Yeah, and I thank the Lord for the opportunity to rap like this 'cause Well, y'all are gonna see in a little bit, I'm gonna tell you all about it 'cause Really, I have to! It's been stuck with me for years, you can't leave that stuff bottled up I had a couple walks through the shadow of death but I'm still here now And I'll tell you all about it It's Tox [Verse] Ask why i take to .9s (How?) No longer live in Compton but still harbor a ghostly silhouette of that state of mind (Uh-huh, that's facts) I'm grateful they ain't put a 'K to mine (For real) And also grateful, for the main part, I ain't have to stay just like all of these niggas they say I'm faking like (For real) They tell me be more real in my raps (Huh?), that I just don't talk how my face looks like (How?) Well, if you want me to be real tonight (Uh-huh) Then you would have no issue with me recounting the story (Yeah, yeah) Of us dropping off our nephew same time niggas went to spray and light (Pow, pow, pow) Up any nigga they thought was against them (Right) A 'K it might've been, but to be honest, I was ducked under the trailer lights (Watch out!) And could you blame me? I was with a baby, couldn't claim the fight (Right?) Also my brother, my mother, and if I'm not mistaken, sister (That right) We went inside his dad's apartment to distract from the blisters (That's right) Remember it vividly, stairs with gaps all in the middle (Uh-huh, yeah, yeah) And the TV, for my bro, showed Jeffy all up on the pictures (Right) Was checking his cameras, heart racing (Huh?) Only saw my dad and his truck, I was all pacing (Huh?) Whole time, voices was telling me, "Keep quiet" (Shh) Whole time niggas today hear that and just deny it? (How?) I tell you, I would have no reason to be lying (For what?) Went outside a while after (Right), 'cause they piped down See if they kept scene criming, 'cause we ain't heard no P-9ing (Grrt, yeah, huh) Abandoned car with holes all in it, tried to keep driving (Man) Looking at times like these and wonder, how I keep thriving? (How?) That gray car with no windows on it, glass out everywhere? They've made it clear them niggas got no interest in peace signing (For real) It's made it difficult for a nigga to resign it (That too) And if you think that i sound like a broken record, huh (How?) Redirect your concern to the niggas that keep dying (Facts!) The way the system's got me set up (Uh-huh) I see the difference, but most resort to killing, it's the only way to keep climbing (That's sad) That's why when they say, "Drill don't kill", it confuse me (Mm, I'm sorry) I don't care if you took shots or if it's solely for a movie (Facts) And I don't care if you've been popped by cornballs acting kinda loosely (Grrt) Act up, a new crime scene, strap in, it's a doozy (Huh) That was some years ago, you'd think that things would change, huh? Nah, G (No) Let me tell you, 3 AM (Huh), they almost got it poppin' (That's real) It be your own blood tryna take your own blood (For what?) What, you tryna Melly me? My prayers, they felt all stuck, uh Even in my own room, I wasn't really safe (York State of Mind) Little brother with me too, but them niggas couldn't wait (York State of Mind) January 2nd, man, I journaled 'bout the rest of it (York State of Mind) Don't judge a book from what you think the cover is (York State of Mind) It's Toxi [Outro] …But, like, everytime we'd be driving home from church Literally just ending church, and, like, someone would be just, like Driving towards her in the, like, most irregular… Just like the tiniest wrong way?
