prayin

I was prayin' for a sign, all I got was more weight
Had a gun to my head, then a voice said
"wait"
I was 17, broken, tryna run from fate
Now I'm lookin' back like damn - God made me stay
I was sleepin' on the floor with a dream in my chest
No heat, no lights, still believed I was blessed Mama cried at the table, her strength was already spent
Every time I almost jumped, somethin' told me not to fall instead
I got angels in my scars, I got truth in my veins And I still got dreams I ain't speak about But I let it all play out, let the pain unwind Everything that broken me inside realigned I ain't bitter, I'm just changed
I ain't who I was, so don't ever treat me the
Same
They say the strong survive, but what about the ones who break?
What about the ones who fake a smile just to numb the ache?
Phone ring, let it buzz, I ain't been the same But I let it all work out, I let it breathe Everything I buried started growin' into seeds I done cried nights I ain't want no one to see But I learned that broken still look good on me
