[Verse 1]
You always suffer from the painful scars right from the start
Broken at the heart, hopelessly aiming towards the stars
Will you make it far, do you know who you are?
You ain't top par unless you set a high bar
Do you understand that every man has a chance to advance?
You don't understand the street grime or why we grind
I've always rhymed subliminally spitting every line
You're just straight lyin'/lion (Roar!) While I'm a phoenix flying
These cases can relate, but that doesn't mean you can debate
These haters won't wait for the story to fade and escalate
We MCs possess too much power that lies in destiny and fate
I guess that's just destiny, but you took my heart - fatality
It prevents me from retaliation and seeing reality
That's why we suffer the pain in exchange for the game
The rap game contains these stupid fans who hail Lil' Waine
Bad taste in music's inhumane, that's why my reputation is stained
[Verse 2]
I'll be growing older and the weather just gets colder
How can I survive with all this weight on my shoulders?
No, I won't take that they're, just wait and
We we will get a reward for our patience
Karma (by Atar-E) - It's what's made my life so hard
I guess it's because I don't know where the story starts
It shone son/sun, with no end and no beginning
A home run - this caused me to lose in the final inning
You keep on losing but your arrogance just says you're winning
You see, you've got to learn to be stern if you want to spit illy
Be concrete and strong in every song, just don't be weak
Is it truly revenge that you seek?
Face reality, it's the pain that brings us scars
Physical or emotional, it helps you realize who you are
Aiming so high so you can know what your goal is
I've got a spirit that you destroyed before you stole it
[Verse 3]
Every single night I hopelessly lie awake in ache and
I for some reason keep fighting when my soul is taken
You see, it is your brain that is maintained by your soul
You think your soul is resilient? Well, I call bull
None of us think straight, that's why we make bad choices
These scars seep so deep to where your heart is poison
These artists face themselves to try, why even bother?
They can't think straight with a hard mother and no father
He just grinds and grinds tryna reach the unbroken
Stride that he admires and rides for, this demise of problems
He's spent all his life just tryna solve 'em
Nope, it's hopeless, he didn't hear the whole time he's calling
He's made a horrible imprint, his actions were indignant
Sometimes he wonders if happiness is just a figment
The stars are just too high to touch and are still too far
Some day, they'll be in reach and heal our scars
His life is scenic, he's Anemic with no future gleaming
He's made this bad imprint just trying to redeem it
It doesn't matter how many times he says he's sorry
He'll never be forgiven by Revelation and Atar-E
All he wants to do is stand before the crowd
Take a bow before the crowd and make them scream so loud
He's a king who has emotions without a crown, no Blood Roses
It's the closest we got to getting past out scars and my frown
[Outro]
We both know my story will be told some day, some way
My life s**s but it gives me the sk** I display
Never would I want these emotional scars to phase me
The fact that I survived it never seizes to amaze me
I suffer these scars...
