boulevard of broken dreams
D.N.A.INSTRUMENTAL Lyrics

Broken dreams, I'm feelin' no hope
My aspirations and desires have been shattered, and I am left feeling without any sense of optimism or possibility.

Hold me close and don't let go, oh
Embrace me tightly and refuse to release your grip, providing me with comfort and a sense of security.

You got a broken heart, yeah, feelin' low, oh (feelin' low, oh)
Your heart is damaged and you are experiencing deep sadness and despair.

Want me to hold you tight and don't let go, oh (don't let go, oh)
You desire for me to cling to you tightly and not separate, offering emotional support and reassurance.

'Cause I was posted in these streets with a broken soul (broken soul)
Because I existed in these rough environments with a spirit that was damaged and lacking wholeness.

On this lonely road away from home, I didn't know where to go (yeah, let me talk my-)
Traveling on a desolate path, far from the familiarity of home, and feeling lost without a clear direction or destination.

I can't stand to be with you, I got abandonment issues
I cannot tolerate being in your presence due to my deep-seated fear of being abandoned or left behind.

If me and you got a problem, I'm not gon' handle it with you
If we encounter an issue or conflict, I am not willing to address or resolve it together with you.

I put my feelings on ice, left my heart in the pot
I froze my emotions, leaving my heart detached and untouched, as if it were sitting in a container on the stove.

Tried to leave that shit to melt and almost nearly forgot
I attempted to let those emotions thaw and dissipate, almost reaching a point where I nearly forgot about them entirely.

I used to sit in the rain, hopin' to diminish this pain
I would sit out in the rain, hoping that the downpour would somehow alleviate or reduce the anguish I was experiencing.

You stabbed me in the back not knowin' I got skin made for blade
Unaware that I possess resilient defenses able to withstand betrayal, you figuratively stabbed me in the back.

You crashed your car tryna figure out what I did in my lane
You metaphorically lost control of your life, attempting to comprehend my actions within the context of your own existence.

I swept you off your feet and dirt is what you put on my name
I captivated your heart and devoted myself to you, yet you tarnished my reputation and besmirched my character.

Tip-toein' to the money, try to catch me if you can
Stealthily maneuvering towards financial success, inviting others to pursue and catch up with my progress if they are capable.

Broken dreams, I'm feelin' low, this wasn't a part of my plan
My shattered aspirations have left me feeling disheartened, as this outcome was not within the scope of my initial intentions.

Thought you was ten toes 'til you testified on that stand
Believing you were loyal and fully committed until you provided incriminating testimony against me in a legal setting.

You don't get it so it's time to make your mother understand, oh
Since you fail to comprehend, it is now necessary to ensure that even your mother grasps the situation fully.

You said you loved me but it wasn't unconditional
Although you claimed to love me, your affection was not without conditions or limitations.

I wanted you to win and I even put you in position to
I desired your success and even facilitated your advancement into advantageous circumstances.

Short term memory, you forgot what I did for you
Possessing a fleeting recollection, you have forgotten the actions and sacrifices I made on your behalf.

And fuck I look like ownin' up to shit I know I didn't do? (Yeah)
Why would I even consider admitting to things I am aware I did not commit?

Who put you in Céline and Chanelly?
Who granted you the opportunity to possess luxury items from high-end fashion brands such as Céline and Chanel?

Deep down, I know you miss it when I would put dick in your belly (oh)
Subconsciously, I am aware that you long for the experiences we shared when engaging in sexual intimacy.

I never listened to what niggas would tell me
I consistently disregarded the advice or opinions provided by others.

I always thought the day it'd happen to me, I would be ready (oh)
I perpetually believed that if a similar situation were to befall me, I would be adequately prepared to handle it.

I'm a young fly nigga, swear, I could've been a pilot (been a pilot)
Expressing confidence in my youthful and fashionable appearance, emphasizing that I could have pursued a career as an airplane pilot.

Confidential love, I wanted to keep it in private (in private)
Desiring a secretive and exclusive love, intending to keep it hidden from public scrutiny.

And I can't explain this feelin' inside me
I am unable to adequately articulate or describe the complex emotions that reside within me.

And if I put my heart away, would you find it?
If I were to hide away or guard my heart, would you be capable of discovering and reaching it?

Where I'm from, my youngins stay with protection
In the environment I come from, the younger individuals constantly remain cautious and guarded for their own safety.

They don't look in the mirror because they hate their reflection
Due to a strong disdain for their own reflection, they refrain from gazing into mirrors.

And the only chance they comin' home is if they make a confession
The sole opportunity for them to return to their homes is by confessing to their wrongdoings or crimes.

'Cause these sidewalks filled with cracks
These pedestrian walkways are riddled with various imperfections and faults.

You gotta watch where you steppin' (woah-oh, woah-oh)
It is imperative to be cautious and mindful of your footing as you move forward.

Streets the only reason why I'm cold (streets the only reason why I'm cold)
The streets themselves are the primary cause of my emotional detachment and indifference.

Woah-oh, woah-oh
[No specific meaning]

Don't let no one beside you if I let you go, oh (yeah)
If I were to release my hold on you, ensure that no one else stands by your side.

Ain't got no heart for you to break mine (break mine)
I possess no affection or emotional attachment to allow you the capability of breaking my heart.

And I ain't got no time for you to waste mine (waste mine, yeah)
I have no patience or willingness to allow you to squander and consume my precious time.

You only want me when it's late night (late night)
Your desire for my presence and companionship arises solely during the late hours of the night.

Broken-hearted but I still would let you take mine
Despite being emotionally wounded and heartbroken, I would still allow you to possess my heart.

You got a broken heart, yeah, feelin' low, oh (feelin' low, oh)
You are burdened with a heart that is fractured, leading to a profound sense of sadness and despair.

Want me to hold you tight and don't let go, oh (don't let go, oh)
You yearn for me to tightly embrace you and refuse to release my grip, providing you with solace and security.

'Cause I was posted in these streets with a broken soul (broken soul)
As I resided in these urban environments, I carried a spirit that was damaged and lacked wholeness.

On this lonely road away from home, I didn't know where to go (oh-oh)
Traveling along a desolate path, distanced from the familiarity of home, I found myself without a clear sense of direction or destination.
