Foxy Brown › Lyrics › Broken Silence

{"Rapper Foxy Brown was arrested today in Raleigh
North Carolina on misdemeaner charges
For an alledged altercation with a hotel employee
She was arrested and released on a thousand dollar bond
But if found guilty of the charge
She could face up to sixty days in prison"}

{"Gun fire erupted today outside a Greenwich Village radio station
The gunplay allegedly stems from an ungoing feud
Both artists claim no involvement in the incident
No arrests have yet been made in connection with the shooting"}

{"In other news, rap artist Foxy Brown
Was hospitalized yesterday after an apparent overdose
On a common prescription drug
While the overdose was allegedly an attempt at her own life
No one from the hospital nor Foxy's family were available for comment
Stay tuned for more news"}

{"Inga Marchand, also known as rapper Foxy Brown
Was taken to a local hospital today
When the Range Rover she was driving spun out of
Control at a Brooklyn sidestreet
Although she was not seriously injured
Marchand was later arrested for driving with a suspended license
This is just another in a long list of offences that have
Plagued this Brooklyn rap star"}

Yeah, I know it's been a long time since y'all heard my voice
Maybe what, 2, 3, years or somethin'
Been up and down, been high and low
Even been at the point of no return, but no hope
Just want to let my fans know that I'm still here
Y'all holla back

The sound was broken, too many years being political
It's kinda hard to do when everything your seein' is critical
It's all my fault what they said in the news
But it's funny, how the public seems to get it confused
They act like they ain't got nothin' better to do
All they want is a statement, the hatin' is blatin'
But we never paid attention to those who hate us
'Til my face was on the cover of all the local papers

But still un-phased, I kept my cool
Plottin', carefully, every step I choose
And my, cool-whit poin, and my write finery
Everybody wanna know my side of the story
Well here it is, the whole truth, plain and simple
This'll finally explain, all the pain I've been through
And in no way shape or form of my provoken violence
Please try to understand my broken silence

See black, everybody is on my back
See black, everybody is on my back
