Do you know what it feels like
To be broke and alone
Homeless and cold with nowhere to go
This gun the only friend that I know
Roll out, roll out
When the food and the money and the lights gone out
Get out, get out
Ain't nowhere to run when the guns come out
Roll out, roll out
When the food and the money and the lights gone out
Get out, get out
Ain't nowhere to run when you're
Broken in Brooklyn
What do you do
When you're broken in Brooklyn
What can you do
You try hard to make a living
To provide for your children
But you're living on welfare
And it feels like you're going nowhere
It's like hell on earth, I've been there before
Broke and lonely, life is unsure
Pressure blew my mind
But I never let the system take me under
(Some wonder how we survive)
Through the twists and the turns
Me still a stand firm
Give thanks for the lessons weh me learn
Through the struggle, the pain, the strain and the setback
Me still a reach for the highest of heights
The top of top
The pressure make me feel vulnerable
But I was born a rebel
So me move sensible
Bare nickel and jekyl
I told myself I've got to make bigger moves
Pon a higher, higher level
So I gotta
Roll out, roll out
When the food and the money and the lights gone out
Get out, get out
Ain't nowhere to run when the guns come out
Roll out, roll out
When the food and the money and the lights gone out
Get out, get out
Ain't nowhere to run when you're
Broken in Brooklyn
What do you do
When you're broken in Brooklyn
What can you do
When you feel like a soldier at war up in the trenches
When nightfall catch you on them park benches
Couch hopping 'til the beat stop rocking
Sun rising and dropping while the clock tick-tocking
You can't do nothing, your life is worth something
You're facing your shortcomings and you feel like running away
You can't even say nothing, you're so tired of struggling
You're facing your shortcomings and you feel like running away
Rise from the misery, the past is history
Are you living in reality or living a mystery?
Rise from the misery, the past is history
If you stand for truth and rights then you're rolling with me
Let's go
Roll out, roll out
When the food and the money and the lights gone out
Get out, get out
Ain't nowhere to run when the guns come out
Roll out, roll out
When the food and the money and the lights gone out
Get out, get out
Ain't nowhere to run when you're
Broken in Brooklyn
What do you do
When you're broken in Brooklyn
What can you do
When you're broken in Brooklyn
What do you do
When you're broken in Brooklyn
What can you do
