Broken Pieces
Ill Bill Lyrics

When your dreams are broken pieces
When the things that you were aspiring for become shattered and unachievable

The world can be a cold and cruel place
The environment around you can become harsh and unforgiving

Yo, Yo, speakin' loud, peep her style, in and out of every reefer cloud
The singer is describing a woman who he sees exhibiting a loud, showy persona that seems to be fueled by time spent smoking marijuana

Skinny waist, fat ass, pretty face, evil mouth
The woman in question is physically attractive, with a thin waist and large buttocks, but her personality can be quite cruel or unpleasant

Hollywood, partied with fake thugs, posers, and cokeheads
She has spent time among a group of people in Hollywood who are pretending to be tough or cool, but are really just drug users and insecure individuals

Her uncle was the ex-drummer from Guns n' Roses
The woman has a relative who used to play the drums in the popular rock band Guns N' Roses

Met her over Joey Silvera's house, a party girl
The singer first encountered the woman at a party hosted by pornographic film director Joey Silvera

She was 19 and happy that her parents finally let her out
The woman was young and excited to have the freedom to socialize and party with others outside of her family's watchful eye

Three abortions, two from the same boyfriend
The woman has had multiple pregnancies terminated via abortion, two of which were fathered by the same man

The third one during an orgy, might have been Sean Penn's
The third pregnancy was aborted while the woman was having group sex, and it is possible that the father was actor Sean Penn

Yeah, I put it in her mouth once and we remained friends
The singer had oral sex with the woman at least once, but they maintained a platonic friendship afterwards

Seen her out at the clubs now and again, the same shit
The artist has encountered the woman at various clubs in the past, and nothing seems to have changed in her life or behavior

The same sneaky crowd, same cocaine, same tits
She still spends time around people who are devious and manipulative, they still use cocaine, and her physical attributes have not changed

Same dreams about becoming a star and making ?
She still desires to become famous and wealthy, but the singer does not specify for what purpose or profession

Played a hooker on Entourage, swore she made it
The singer mentions that the woman had a small acting role on the show 'Entourage', and felt as though this milestone had cemented her place in the entertainment industry

Made friends with the wrong crowd, got played quick
The woman befriended people who were not trustworthy or loyal, and was taken advantage of in some way

Took the first sniff of that grey shit then ate dick
She tried an illicit substance for the first time, and from there onwards, things went downhill for her

Dummy ate her first syringe was never the same since, listen
The woman injected drugs into her body, and the experience had a negative, lasting impact on her mental and physical state

Check it out, he a self proclaimed thug but the kid could rap
The singer introduces a male character who boasts about being a dangerous or tough individual, but is also skilled at rapping

His idol was Tupac, he was always wanted to act
The male character idolizes the late rapper Tupac Shakur, and has also expressed an interest in acting

Portray a thug on the silver screen
The male character desired to play a stereotypical, violent criminal in a movie

Show Hollywood the block, just had the rock, just one last scheme
He wanted to show Hollywood a realistic depiction of life in his neighborhood, and planned to use proceeds from a drug deal to finance the recording of a demo CD

With this move he financed a demo
The male character used the drug money to fund the creation of a demo recording for his music career

Planned to vic a spot, they mixed coke with other chemicals
The male character and his associates planned to steal drugs from a rival group, but the drugs turned out to be mixed with harmful chemicals

His team the neighbourhood criminals
The male character worked with other people from his local area who were also involved in criminal activity

Guess they missed the truth about birds of a feather
The male character and his associates were not as loyal to each other as they initially thought, and their shared criminal activity was not enough to keep them together

? Part of the plot, nobody move but motherfuckers still get shot
There is a violent altercation, where everyone is instructed to remain still, but people still end up getting shot

Grab the shit and head back to the block
The male character and his associates steal drugs, and quickly return to their neighborhood

He ain't know, a witness seen him come and go from both the rooftops
The male character was unaware that he had been witnessed leaving a building, via both the entrance and a rooftop

First, they murked his moms and his pops, then his girl and her seed
In retaliation for the crime, the male character's parents, girlfriend, and unborn child were all murdered

Slit her throat then filled the kid with shots
The male character's girlfriend was killed via a violent attack, where her throat was slashed and she was subsequently shot multiple times

Paramedics did what they could,
Emergency medical professionals attempted to help those who had been violently attacked, but their efforts were ultimately unsuccessful

RIP, another mural on a wall in the hood
The people who were killed in the attack are memorialized on a wall, alongside other individuals who have died in the neighborhood

When you were younger, under your bed there was a monster
The artist is addressing someone who, as a child, was afraid of some scary and unknown presence lurking under their bed

Between your legs where he wants you he haunts you
As the person grew up, they were hurt, abused, or taken advantage of in some way by someone who was sexually predatory

Still to this day, you got little to say
The person who experienced the trauma finds it difficult to speak out about what happened to them, even years later

'Bout the nightmares you kept that had you widdled away
The person had recurring dreams or memories related to the traumatic event, which made them feel weak or powerless

There's a little girl, a victim who's a diddler's prey
The singer brings up another victim of sexual abuse, who is now a child and being targeted by a predator

But you shut up, now you grown up, all fucked up
The person refuses to tell anyone about the abuse they experienced, and as a result, they have grown up with numerous emotional and psychological issues

? tongue slippin through your heart
The person struggles to verbalize their thoughts and feelings about the trauma, so it feels as though they are being physically tormented by their own words

Nowadays the same stuff's rippin' you apart
The person continues to struggle with the emotional and psychological effects of their trauma on a daily basis

You're 26, tryin to get rich quick
The singer addresses someone who is currently 26 years old, and who is attempting to make large amounts of money in a short period of time

High heels, lipstick, slidin' down poles
The person has turned to stripping or other forms of sex work, using their looks and sexuality to earn money

They don't call you miss now, they call you "this bitch"
The person has lost respect from others, as they are now viewed primarily as a source of sexual gratification or a commodity

That bitch bend over backwards
The person is willing to do anything to maintain their job as a sex worker, no matter how degrading or painful it may be

Throw a dollar at you and that's it
The person is treated disrespectfully and almost as an object, with customers only giving them small amounts of money in exchange for their services

You've been bruised and scraped, abused and raped
The person has experienced various forms of physical and sexual violence and trauma

And so drained from cocaine and dudes and snakes
The person has turned to drug use and has been surrounded by untrustworthy or manipulative people, which has contributed to their decline

If somebody had to walk a day inside your shoes they'd shake
The singer acknowledges how difficult and traumatizing the person's life must have been, and wonders if others could handle the same experiences

It's like you never had a chance to choose your fate, wait
The person never had the opportunity to make choices that would have prevented them from experiencing such trauma, which the singer sees as tragic
