A Broken Silence - All For What

̶̶̶̶VERSE 1 He wasn’t born to privilege, but he was born to scrimmage , realised to this world, there was more than image, knew to succeed , you must ignore your critics , loved his music , but deplored the business, now, you can sell your soul and get scores of riches , but in the end result , you’ll be torn and twisted, lived to the fullest, thought he saw his limits , stayed on his principles , was to hardcore to pivot, living to rhyme , but later driven to crime, so cool, most would of thought he aint sinned in his life, things changed , at the blink of an eye , when he mentioned, ‘I just got to do a thing for this guy’ said, ‘I’m choked’ looking at his kid, flat broke, five years down the track , wish he hid , that dope , his pops always spoke about not mixing with bad folk , now they pulled him from a river , just to give him a tagged toe.
