IanJ - Battle Scars (Remix) lyrics

Intro: [IanJ] Sometimes we forget why we're here It's easy to fall off track Please help us remember Hook: [Michael Edward] These battle scars, don't look like there fading Don't look like they're ever going away They ain't never gonna change, these battle Verse 1: [IanJ] Growing up I had a dream, something no one else could see Tell me what it means when your faith is falling beneath your knees And you can't breath, everything you see Reminds you of what you're not or something you won't be You gotta take what you've given that's how we living Don't be mad at the system, it's simply how we've existed I hear a lot of people talking like they politicians And choose to be an accountant because it's safe in the business Not because they wanna do it, just because they heard it pays And who the f** want's to be poor, knowing that's how we've been raised Society is getting heavy, I can feel the weight The pressure of success is like a hundred million pounds of shame And that's the reason I'm staying up late Trying to find a way to escape, the stereotypes this day and age Is making me feel like the only way I'll be happy Is gettin' signed to a label and making money through rapping I wanna share my emotions because the world is attacking The very principle of life that let's the people be happy If you don't have a reason to breathe why even live These battle scars are impressions of everything that it is Hook: [Michael Edward] These battle scars, don't look like there fading Don't look like they're ever going away They ain't never gonna change These battle scars don't look like there fading Don't look like they're ever going away They ain't never gonna change, these battle Verse 2: [IanJ] Now if I had a voice that reached a hundred million people I'd tell them there's a reason that we're all created equal Cause some decide to be great, and some decide a sequel To an average persons life is simply what they wanna be So, you make your decision, all I know is what I'm giving Won't define the life I lead or the way I dwell in existence I've seen a greater image on the walls of where I'm living And the words twisted and scripted, remind me of something written Faith is a gift that is given down to the people If one believes it, one receives it, it's given if it is needed Don't ever think you're trapped in a life that you never wanted Your options are infinite, that's some mathematical logic I'm not saying I'm a prophet, I'm speaking for what it's worth These lyrics define my prayers and these battle scars are my church Not saying I'm a prophet, I'm speaking for what it's worth These lyrics define my prayers, these battle scars are my church Hook: [Michael Edward] These battle scars, don't look like there fading Don't look like they're ever going away They ain't never gonna change These battle scars don't look like there fading Don't look like they're ever going away They ain't never gonna change, these battle
