Broken Frame Lyrics
[Verse 1: MD]
This future 27 club member born in December
Better get my act together so I'm one to remember
Tryna get it as a hero like I joined the avengers
Death is always destiny regardless of gender
When you see that broken glass on your picture
Better wish the end'll miss ya, especially if you're superstitious
Or you can use your time as if you're on a mission
On the road to your ascension tryna finish as a legend
I hope they gonna miss me when I'm gone b
Like Marcus Garvey, MLK, Gandhi
Pac, Biggie, John Lennon, Bob Marley
For now, I gotta get the recognition when I'm on beats
My sporadic motivation really gets to me
Because I may die before the chance to make some history
Don't wanna fail, I'd rather down a shot of Listerine
I'm hoping that I get to people listening
[Hook]
Broken frames are superstitions in a world that's sick and twisted [x3]
Know tomorrow's not a given, saying, saying
If I die now... will I be forever young?
I don't know
[Verse 2: MD]
When I rap I wanna get the world to feel me
But before I drop a track I gotta feel it
Too many people sacrifice the vision
Don't forget I said I have good intention
I'm aware of the condition...
The world is composed... in a way that doesn't really ever cater
To the people who don't waver; tryna make it from a minor to a major
You don't play across the nation 'less you playing for the Lakers
Get it? Stupid human Northern Noise is a movement
If you wanna be a legend, you should do it
I got a music struggle tryna make it through it
Drake can preach relations, Cole can spit the struggle
Kendrick'll talk the setting, MD'll rap the hustle
Wanna be a new legend, but I'm only up and coming
Gotta put it on the line for them historical discussions
This future 27 club member born in December
Better get my act together so I'm one to remember
Tryna get it as a hero like I joined the avengers
Death is always destiny regardless of gender
When you see that broken glass on your picture
Better wish the end'll miss ya, especially if you're superstitious
Or you can use your time as if you're on a mission
On the road to your ascension tryna finish as a legend

About
Genius Annotation
On the title track for the “Broken Frame” mixtape, I describe my aspiration to remembered in a positive way after I die. If people somehow remember me for the music I’ve created, I hope that they’ll have good things to say.
A broken frame is a something that all of us have. With that being said, we’ve gotta believe that we may be able to make history if we try.
That isn’t to say that we can’t relax and have fun… we’re human. It’s just to say that we’ve got to keep our goals in mind.
