Scarred Laughs

When the night turns cold
All I think about
The story's untold
No need to speak aloud
Try to withhold
But everybody asks a lot
But I just laugh it off
It seems that where you end
Usually depends on where
You begin and I don't
Need a friend
Cause even the ones I got
Half of them are not
But I just laugh it off
Yea I just laugh it off

I'm Reminiscing
Looking at my baby pictures
I wonder where my innocence
Was lost at
It's weird seeing mom and daddy
Kissing cause back then
Man nobody would have
Thought that ten years
Down the road
A broken home
Would be the vision
Fast forward couple more
Years later I'll be sitting
In a cell block
Waiting on momma
To come and visit
Was it their fault
Or do I blame it
On drug addiction
I can't lie the fast living
Was always thrilling
So who am I to point
The finger for pops
Being involved with other
Women dog I get it
But how many times you
Got to get caught
Before you quit it
But like you said
Hard head makes for a soft ass
Don't get it twisted man
Shit it wasn't all bad
But if you listen you can
Hear the dark past
Hidden in my scarred laugh
Yea

When the night turns cold
All I think about
The story's untold
No need to speak aloud
Try to withhold
But everybody asks a lot
But I just laugh it off
It seems that where you end
Usually depends on where
You begin and I don't
Need a friend
Cause even the ones I got
Half of them are not
But I just laugh it off
Yea I just laugh it off

Lord grant me the serenity
To harness all my energy
And not dwell on the memories
Of all I lost
I know that people are flawed
Shit you kidding me
I've done so many fucked
Up things yet they still
Forgiving me
Shit maybe I'm biased
With my empathy
Mentally I can understand
An open enemy
But when it be
Your friends and family
Man that shit start fucking
With your sanity
It's damaging
But hey
Clarity can come in all forms
Including pain
And jealousy can make
A person do some shady things
Having it all can make
A person forget where he came
Through my years on earth
I've seen and done enough to say
That no matter where you go
This shit is all the same
Just different faces dealing
With shit in a different way
It's true
I guess we all scabbed
And if you listen
You can hear it
In our scarred laughs
Cause

When the night turns cold
All I think about
The story's untold
No need to speak aloud
Try to withhold
But everybody asks a lot
But I just laugh it off
It seems that where you end
Usually depends on where
You begin and I don't
Need a friend
Cause even the ones I got
Half of them are not
But I just laugh it off
Yea I just laugh it off
I just laugh it off
Mmmmm
I just laugh it off
Mmmmm
Man I just laugh it off
Mmmmm
Man I just laugh it off
Mmmmm oooh oooooh

When the night turns cold
All I think about
The story's untold
No need to speak aloud
Try to withhold
But everybody asks a lot
But I just laugh it off
It seems that where you end
Usually depends on where
You begin and I don't
Need a friend
Cause even the ones I got
Half of them are not
But I just laugh it off
Yea I just laugh it off
