Open Scars

That's the way that I know that the love is gone
'Cause I know we're gonna fight, that's the way that I know that the love is gone

Uh, no love lost it was never love
I lost sight, found God, a more better love
I ain't never went soft, I'm forever thug, yeah
And you ain't God, so you could never judge
I had guys I called brothers leave me in the storm
That's why my heart still cold even when it's warm
All of a sudden they forget like I ain't put 'em on
And never had to owe me shit, I did it off the arm

Still fightin' demons, duckin' bullets, pullin' thorns
It's funny how they still sleep like I ain't blowin' horns
This female look like a male like is somethin' wrong
Nah, it's still suck my dick, bitch, nothing's wrong
This whole industry is rigged, I don't need awards
I done things never did and still didn't get applaud
Like I ain't got W's across the fuckin' board
And my mom became the goat when I was fuckin' born

04-03-92
And I'm only 5'7", but my gun is 5'2"
It's Red Lyfe 'til I die, but my jewelry sky blue
I don't need material shit, my aura could shine too

Big motion
Punchin' the clock 'til my times due
And anythin' makin' me wealthy I'm doin' it times two
Big healthy, no liquor, just water and lime juice
No more drugs, somethin' I put my spirit and mind to

I feel like somethin' is always missin'
No matter how much I do
How much I succeed
I always just feel like it's never a hundred percent
That's what makes me have that bittersweet feelin'
You nah mean? Like this is where I first experienced what death really is
A part of you died with your brother?
Right, basically

For the past three years, I let my fans down
I lost faith and I couldn't understand how
I had to go and free my mind and let my hair down
Without the Henny, I see everythin' clear now
It's somethin' 'bout the industry, it feel weird now (feel weird now)
It's like the music ain't music (it ain't music)
It ain't hittin' like (it ain't hittin' like)
You don't feel it like (you don't feel it like)
It's like they don't care now (they don't give a fuck)
It's just somethin' for you to hear now (yeah)

It's like the world shifted, too much confusion
And when I lost the passion for music is when my world ended
I was distracted by trauma, all of the drama
From girlfriends to my mama fuckin' my mind up
To hurtin' my health and seein' doctors
Down to about four, five, six friends on the roster
It's funny when you lit, it's a whole line up
But this is part of the game, I took the pen and I signed up

Broke up with depression, let go my anxiety
Turn my back on the devil and neglect the society
Face a reality, acceptin' the pain inside of me
No more judgin' my honesty
No more judgin' my honesty
Recovery on velocity
The liquor wasn't hidin' my pain, it was hidin' me
Lookin' at life like, why would you lie to me?

Like, why would you lie to me?
Spirit crack, heart broke, my love was on modesty
Decayin' my quality
Decreasin' my quantity
Catchin' up to my truths finally meetin' my prophecy

Uh, I swear to God life was kickin' my ass
May seem like I had it good, but mentally it was bad
Just to get my brother back, I'll give up all of this cash
And I'll buy a flight just to take a trip to the past
Trust issues won't change, that's just somethin' I have
I keep a lawn mower just to see the snakes in the grass
And I build a fence just to keep the snakes in the grass
And I keep a hawk just to eat the snakes in the grass

Down on my deathbed but God healin' me fast
He got other plans for me, this just part of the task
Smilin' was a disguise, it was tears under that mask
Suffocatin' inside for years under that mask
No regrets 'cause when I lost love, I found peace
When I finally dug deep, nigga, I found a beast
Since 2020, I was losin', I was down three
I locked in finished the album in nine weeks

The streets hungry and soon as I'm cookin' the town eats
Only my niggas at the table 'cause they found seats
Heal first, find peace, find keys, mind free
First step find God, next step find me
