Scars That Don’t Fade

Yeah…

Sometimes the pain louder than the applause.

Still standing though.

(Hook)

I got scars that don’t fade, I just cover ‘em with pride,

Everybody say they with me, then they switch up overnight.

I was lost inside the storm, had to learn to read the sky,

If I fall, I’m standing up—I ain’t letting hope die.

Mama prayed every night, hoping I would change my route,

Had to learn the hard way what this life be about.

Too many faces disappeared when the money slowed down,

Now I keep my circle small, ain’t no room for extra clowns.

I remember cold nights, sleeping with my dreams awake,

Every loss turned to fuel, every move a risk to take.

Now I’m chasing something bigger than some chains or a name,

Trying to make my people smile, that’s the reason for the pain.

(Hook)

I got scars that don’t fade, I just cover ‘em with pride,

Everybody say they with me, then they switch up overnight.

I was lost inside the storm, had to learn to read the sky,

If I fall, I’m standing up—I ain’t letting hope die.

Ain’t no angel, I admit it, made mistakes along the road,

But I carry every lesson like a heart that’s made of stone.

If they doubt me, let ’em doubt, I got something left to prove,

Every setback gave me balance, every bruise taught me to move.

I ain’t looking for revenge, I just want a better life,

Peace is worth a whole lot more than trying to win every fight.

When the lights go dim, I’m still talking to my soul,

Telling myself keep going—one day all this pays in gold.Scars don’t fade… they remind you that you survived.

Keep your head high.
