Poetic Lace - Broken Wings (feat. Nova) [Extended]

It's so hard to fly when your wings are broken
I guess it's hard to see God when you're so blind
We still gotta look for that light though
Tell em' Nova

I'm looking for the right direction
I'm searching for the road of salvation
Lord, so that I may fly away
I'm looking for the right direction
I'm searching for the road of salvation
Lord, so that I may fly away

Poetically I'm trapped in an enigma
I'm at the county jail asking why you pulled the trigga
It must have been confusion from the blunts and the liquor
Seeing you in here only makes me get sicker
I'm mad, I'm pist, I'm something like a bladder
Most my dawgs slipped when I started up the ladder
We were close friends but you never helped my struggle
It was mostly criticizing and pointing out my troubles
Don't get it wrong the love was there
But in my heart I couldn't really tell you cared
That's like the woman came around trying to get paid
But in the end every single one felt played
No PS3, Nintendo Wii, or Xbox
That's so ironic cause the game don't stop
I can remember every girl that I slept with
But I wish I could forget that we did it

I'm looking for the right direction
I'm searching for the road of salvation
Lord, so that I may fly away
I'm looking for the right direction
I'm searching for the road of salvation
Lord, so that I may fly away

I guess the show has to go on
My brother's been praying that he just holds on
My mom's been praying that my brother comes home
The streets aint really what you wanna call home
It's like times get hard the harder we grow
We growing hard, so what else do we know
It's ah hard knock life and I had to live it twice
So many mistakes but God still treats me nice
I'm wondering and pondering, thinking and blinking
Keep ah sober mind, stay far from drinking
I gotta deal with crabs in the pot
They trying to pull me down cause the water is hot
The water is scorching, the water is torching
These crabs so deceitful cause they know what's approaching
Death around the corner, please pull me out this terror
I'm only twenty-three but I know the pallbearer

I'm looking for the right direction
I'm searching for the road of salvation
Lord, so that I may fly away
I'm looking for the right direction
I'm searching for the road of salvation
Lord, so that I may fly away

Waking up in the morning I got a sad surprise
I lost my closest homie to a game of homicide
We in the city where you see the skinny dudes die
It's important that we pray just to get by
I'm at his funeral his mom is cryin' on my shoulder
That had my blood flowin' slower now my hearts colder
So I invested in some heat in case I have to teach
Then I heard grab your bible keep that at your reach
Lord pardon my mistakes I had to play my hand
No spades hearts or diamonds such a tragic hand
So I went to the clubs lookin' for some love
Never realized all the while its God that I shoved
God is good man I promise you can make it through
Bow down confess Christ is what you have to do
Its nothing to it speak your heart shouldn't feel shook
If you don't know what to say, just repeat the hook

I'm looking for the right direction
I'm searching for the road of salvation
Lord, so that I may fly away
I'm looking for the right direction
I'm searching for the road of salvation
Lord, so that I may fly away
