Scars (feat. Rhymefest & Dayne Jordan)

You wanna know how I got these scars?

Where they carry heavy metal, when they're not guitars

Something in the water, we were not retards

They see us dyin' of thirst, we will not be parched

Have it your way, we will not be starved

Murder is the case, we will not be charged

By the pigs in the pen, we will not be forced

To remain silent, to put on pause

You wanna know where I got these scars?

Dead friendships over ill-ass bars

Livin' out in space when you can't touch God

Till they find the engine runnin' with you slumped in the car

Tried to snatch a kid from me when a **** was parked

Now I'm walkin' with a gun, shell shocked in the dark

It's all trauma, yo, honor, I don't believe in karma

I will bang 'em again, on my momma

Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord

Then let the Lord deal with they ass at the morgue

Got me runnin' 'round with a pen and a sword

Last words on Facebook Live, press record

You wanna know how I got these scars?

Where they carry heavy metal, when they're not guitars

Something in the water, we were not retards

They see us dyin' of thirst, we will not be parched

Have it your way, we will not be starved

Murder is the case, we will not be charged

By the pigs in the pen, we will not be forced

To remain silent, to put on pause

You wanna know how I got these scars?

My first record deal was the ill-ass car

Signed to three sixty, gave them all the money

By the time the records spun it was a whole seven twenty

Funny, we wanna be stars without scars

Leaders that don't lead but believers with no Gods

How I got these birds?

When I really needed help and **** back was turned

Ask where Kanye was, I was so offended

They call me Brand New like it was no pun intended

Pun is dead, get the killer out your head

Killer rats in the garden, get the snakes out the bed

Bitches is not real, stitches do not heal

If you sign your soul to the devil, that is not a deal

You wanna know where I got these scars?

You wanna know how I got these scars?

Where they carry heavy metal, when they're not guitars

Something in the water, we were not retards

They see us dyin' of thirst, we will not be parched

Have it your way, we will not be starved

Murder is the case, we will not be charged

By the pigs in the pen, we will not be forced

To remain silent, to put on pause

You wanna know where I'm cut so deep?

I grew up without a father and my clothes was cheap

Tryna wake the hood up, but they soul was sleep

Chicago, zero below, the verse was heat

You know childhood ambition, prayin', wishin' and hopin'

People givin' you keys to doors that don't open

Cops that point guns for words that's unspoken

Politicians'll promise a world that's so broke

That's why my face got the Omar slash

I bring doom to you MFs minus the mask

In my cold dead hands, it was cold hard cash

I time travel to the future and predicted the past

You wanna know how I got these scars?

You wanna know how I got these scars?

Where they carry heavy metal, when they're not guitars

Something in the water, we were not retards

They see us dyin' of thirst, we will not be parched

Have it your way, we will not be starved

Murder is the case, we will not be charged

By the pigs in the pen, we will not be forced

To remain silent, to put on pause
