[Verse 1 - Muph] Implants of paint sitting near her armpit Arabic scripture, persist and I harness The stained artist that plays the smartest role Red wine stains on the carpet I hold The chart is in goals of all the spilt stains and etched scars Guilt remains and you're left charred By the memoires of pain while they gain from the marks And the blame came with a rushed gush What the f**'s up? Man I'm stuck, every morning I wake up I stay cut with enough scars to develop an entourage That makes the skin hard, makes the skin hard - talking really thick skin! The stains are - washed away with a rinse They're out of sight, out of mind, haven't thought about 'em since But the scars stay visible, and each individual Looks back with a miserable little pinch Cautious, before it repeats itself The stains fade, the scars stay, time does tell And time keeps talking to me, keeps on just walking with me [Hook - X2] This ain't a game, it's hard So f** having fame and cars The sh** I deal with leaves me stained and scarred We write dangerous bars Put the truth in 'em to make 'em last And get us past all the stains and scars [Verse 2 - Minas] I write raps like its therapy Until the situations that I'm facing don't even get to me Eventually proving I'm much stronger than that Getting past feeling I've got to react Calm though, if not for the tracks and beats I'd have to speak and probably end up smacked and beat I little in real and that's just me I've been scarred in fights half my life Remember being scared to walk the streets of Oak Park after the dark of night From certain groupies, there's truth these Physical pain washed like stains, it's nothing new to me What it left me scarred with, the lessons I learnt When I grew up of course back then - never concerned But now I'm picking up on new stuff, I ain't too tough And cuts fade like I'm hoping all this drug use does True Muph? {Yeah the man's right} I might still stand and fight But I'd rather put my hands on the damn mic [Hook - X2] [Verse 3 - Muph] Now lets take a step back in time When I was walking along a thin line Blind to the signs that stood before me Dragged from behind, I was about to get cut shortly Shot down in a blazing story Awkwardly they cornered me, normally, I'd approach formally Walking all over this over range rover Stained clover yelling move slower! The lower they went, the deeper the wound Too much blood for the bandaid to consume Ripped me off, pissed me off as they blossom and bloom Hooned from the evidence, stole my ideas and sentiments Meddling with the lettering, you'll never again Get the better my friend, but then again I've been sliced right before Scabs and sores, then I'll dab some more Ripped more, skin torn red raw Seemed strange, but to settle the score I arranged to get Nappysan, k** those germs And make me a happy man with battle plan Of stand and watch karma crack through your armour Snake charmer, intensity And we all get stained and scarred eventually {But the scars are what messes with you mentally} I won't let these imperfections get the best of me That's a recipe for laughter, I'ma k** the stains And worry about the injuries obtained after
