Lil Zii - Scars lyrics

[Intro] Rain I hope it hides my tears I hope it washes the pain away, man [Verse 1] Its crazy how the game is played, you play till you're tired And there's just no winning your sk**s are backfired And by the time you're half way your strength will expire And just when you think you're in control and you feeling fired up Its up up and away, away from your reach Away from your grasp, your efforts are bleak But the way it'll last, not a ray of defeat Is waited to manifest cuz that's just the way you be, huh Never giving up, always picking up Doing your best to live it up, Not the slightest intent to quit and run Letting nothing come and make you wither up Listing all your fears so one by one you can k** 'em just Keeping up with the flow, you fall Stand back up try to run through it all But suddenly you're halted by the fork in the road There's a choice but it hurts and you just don't know [Hook] If I had to choose to fight or to love Would it all be so simple , would my love be enough When the plans you have fail and it all starts to fall All they see is how you wearing the scars from it all Can you wear the scars from it all? [Verse 2] They say home is where the heart is but my heart ain't home And I'm dreaded to belong to the place I belong I have no feelings anymore, my heart has gone numb My face has gone expressionless and I feel I'm on something This place is a mess, these people is a mess, I don't know what their heads is filled with They all want the money, all they want is money, makes you wonder what the f** they're billed with And I'm judged for my choices, even when I went to choose rap Cuz they put 2 and 2 together but let the other 2 rest They only see that I ain't white and I'm not black I'm a weird orangish brown, my skin color's complex But that doesn't mean that I can not rap Especially when you see that my pen job's crack I've made my choice I'll keep fighting till I'm dead At least I'll die satisfied that I was ready to go head on yeah [Hook] [Bridge] Its a long way down but I'll go on Even if my struggles break my bones I'm all set up and I'll stick to my cause Just gotta show 'em how I wear my scars [Verse 3] I feel it now and my head is clear And a strange realization that my end is near Its bittersweet I'm here with my scars in thin air If I cry and shed a tear, would they think I'm a little weird? Would they think I'm a little scared? Well honestly I am But not of what they think of me and definitely not of who I am I'm scared that what if even after all this fighting and the scars, I fail and my life falters What if I can't make it? my life tells me "take this" A s**er punch on my face and I fall in the basement Its all so amazing how it all can go to waste and Suddenly everything you valued is a wrong combination And now you're falling face first with no one to pick you up And even if you break your legs, you grow one with the dust Then you know you lost, nothing works, its all down to nothing I hope you learned your lesson, Zii, this world ain't worth loving [Hook] [Hook + bridge] [Outro] Rain I like rain Rain's nice It makes me realize I ain't the only one that's falling
