We are, we are, we are really fucked up people
I’ll show you all my scars and you count them one by one
By one, by one, by one, by one, by one
By one, by one, by one, by one, by one
[Verse 1: Emilio Rojas]
Yeah, I’m beautifully broken, gotta love me for my flaws
My scars will tell you where I’ve been, life’s done made its mark
And it’s hard to keep my innocence with guilt up in my heart
See the fire in my eyes is burnin’ brighter from my sparks
I know I’m insecure, I know I see myself and think about what's lackin’
Know I got some ghosts that’s hauntin’ me, I think about what happened
But that’s okay, I’m movin’ past it, I know I’ve dealt with pain
And I been hurt but that hurt inspires passion
Lose your dreams and you gon’ lose your fuckin’ mind
That’s what Mick Jagger said
Seven when my daddy left, I don’t know if my daddy’s dead
Made me feel inadequate, it made me feel so worthless
Looking at my homies’ families like damn, their lives are perfect
What did I do to deserve this? Shit, I blame myself
You want your life to change, you gotta fuckin’ man up and change yaself
My DNA is full of strangers’ cells, I’m not ashamed
I know my pain and I done came through Hell, yeah
[Hook: BRBN]
We are, we are, we are really fucked up people
I’ll show you all my scars and you count them one by one
By one, by one, by one, by one, by one
By one, by one, by one, by one, by one
[Verse 2: Emilio Rojas]
I was fightin’ with depression
I locked myself inside my old apartment
I ain’t wanna face the world
I struggle with internal conflicts
Withdrawin’ from my friends, ain’t made a call in weeks
Ignored so many messages from family, they stopped callin’ me
I started blamin’ people for my failures, I ain’t take responsibility
I smiled to hide my anger but they still felt my hostility
They still felt my resentment, I was fuckin’ damaged
I tried to laugh to mask the screams but it was just a bandage
Felt like people took advantage
Lookin’ at them cats like they was opportunists
They were tryna ride my wave, them waterways done got polluted
The only woman that I loved, I think her pops abused her
So we hit some bad notes, we had to fuckin’ stop the music
I know it’s selfish but it’s hard to be supportive
If she dealin’ with some trauma that happened to her before us
I’m tryin’ to build a better life, she felt like I ignored her
But I'm just tryna build a fortune off my torment, yeah
[Hook: BRBN]
We are, we are, we are really fucked up people
I’ll show you all my scars and you count them one by one
By one, by one, by one, by one, by one
By one, by one, by one, by one, by one
