Know I’m Not Broken

Bro I’m not weak
Soul hard as teak
And when I speak
I’m at the peak
At the pinnacle of this game
Born fierce, no I won’t be tamed
I’m after fortune, not seeking fame
My wealth is my spirit, not one bit ashamed
You think I’m joking?
Or it’s some inspirational dope I’ve been smoking?
Nah - I’m done with hoping
I’m done with just coping
I may have been hit but know I’m not broken
Take these rhymes as a token
That I’ll conquer this world in one stroke and
I’m not going to choke and
My mind is my crown, believe I’m no king and
You best hear the words that I’ve spoken.
