Permanent Scar

You know this permanent
Can't be removed
I am who I am
(Jon Boii)

And it's a permanent scar, you can't forget who you are
And no matter where you go, they say you are who you are
When you cook in the raw and you're bad from the start
You as cold in your heart, you as cold as your heart

And it's a permanent scar, you can't forget who you are
And no matter where you go, you are who you are
Like when you cook in the raw and you're bad from the start
You as cold as your heart, you as cold as your heart

I keep that same mentality when I was facin' casualties
Goin' through my tragedies, I practice like a athlete
Wouldn't believe the half of me
Show and prove, don't make believe

I'll make you believe, all my thoughts free
Purer than the rawest coke
This ain't no shit that I wrote
I've been down this road before
And I've been on the rollercoast'

So many ups and downs and turns
Homies droppin' like flies
Full strapped forty times
Doin' a life sentence and he died

While I'm on the road, doin' shows, takin' this ride
I just got word my uncle tried to commit suicide
This the second time I'm goin' back in, the second time
You don't get a second chance at life, nigga, I ain't lyin'

And it's a permanent scar, you can't forget who you are
And no matter where you go, they say you are who you are
When you cook in the raw and you're bad from the start
You as cold in your heart, you as cold as your heart

And it's a permanent scar, you can't forget who you are
And no matter where you go, you are who you are
Like when you cook in the raw and you're bad from the start
You as cold as your heart, you as cold as your heart

I got some homies, they could only mean the world to me
And they ain't comin' back home, they in the cemetery (rest in peace)
I wish I made this up, it was a fairytale
I know some kingpins on, they names is legendary

They smoke crack right now, this ain't a Tyler Perry
This real rap, real life, it's very necessary
For me to go on in, so I went back in
Wish I could stay in this booth and never come out again

My lil' cousin caught a body and he's still fightin'
And I got killers walkin' the yard, Future all they recitin'
And I can't forget you niggas did too much bitin'
But I ain't gon' hold no grudge, I just know your type

And it's a permanent scar, you can't forget who you are
And no matter where you go, they say you are who you are
When you cook in the raw and you're bad from the start
You as cold in your heart, you as cold as your heart

And it's a permanent scar, you can't forget who you are
And no matter where you go, you are who you are
Like when you cook in the raw and you're bad from the start
You as cold as your heart, you as cold as your heart

I take a trip, unwrap a gift
Run it back like Emmitt Smith
Go to New York with this gift
And I come back with a lick

Break bread with my team
Want the money? Here, here
I ain't come for this

I want my music global
I wanna see people pump they fist
I'm gonna change a nigga life

So he ain't gotta go through this
Don't get caught in my fit
'Til I'm runnin' 106

And travelin' 'cross the globe
You can have the fame
Just give me my soul

I could stretch these millions and go back in that boat
Before I lose my respect, I stick to the code
I hold a toll on my shoulder, but I will never fold
No snitches allowed, case closed

And it's a permanent scar, you can't forget who you are
And no matter where you go, they say you are who you are
When you cook in the raw and you're bad from the start
You as cold in your heart, you as cold as your heart

And it's a permanent scar, you can't forget who you are
And no matter where you go, you are who you are
Like when you cook in the raw and you're bad from the start
You as cold as your heart, you as cold as your heart

And it's a permanent scar
