Scars In My Mind

[Verse 1]
I been try'na find the answers
Try'na find the proof in the pudding, I'm still looking
Looks like everybody's dancing
Like they ain't got no care in the world
I been caught up in these passions, we gon' hit the mass shit
I could try to explain, but you wouldn't grasp it
If I die early now, open my casket
Let them see my scars 'fore they turn me into ashes

[Chorus]
Wish y'all could see the scars in my mind
I tried to hide them as if I been just fine
But I discovered that the longer we lie
We're only holy when we hover inside
Wish y'all could see the scars in my mind
I tried to hide them as if I been just fine
But I discovered that the longer we lie
We're only holy when we hover inside

[Verse 2]
Said I been try'na act right
But shit ain't been the same since Shaq died
We were only little kids, he hit me on the landline
Ever since you left me, feel like life has been a bad time
Fuck it, what I'm saying, lately we been getting mad shine
Written in the article, just haven't got the headline
Opened up the show, but I just haven't got the headline
I sleep when I die so I will never have a bad time
Fuck it, I'm a hustler, I never miss a deadline

[Chorus]
See the scars in my mind
I tried to hide them as if I been just fine
But I discovered that the longer we lie
We're only holy when we hover inside
Wish y'all could see the scars in my mind
I tried to hide them as if I been just fine
But I discovered that the longer we lie
We're only holy when we hover inside

[Verse 3]
Okay, I'm just try'na get it out, hold my things, I'm heading out
If ever they shall get me down, don't let 'em keep kicking
The marathon continues, I'm try'na repeat Nipsey's hustle
I'm just accustomed to these fuckers fucking up the movement
But I ain't fucking moving, there's really nothing to it
Not like I built a house, I drew the fucking blueprint
These one dimensional rappers, they on some Doctor Seuss shit
Appreciate the classics, I came to make the new shit

[Chorus]
Scars in my mind
I tried to hide them as if I been just fine
But I discovered that the longer we lie
We're only holy when we hover inside
Yeah, wish y'all could see the scars in my mind
I tried to hide them as if I been just fine
But I discovered that the longer we lie
We're only holy when we hover inside

[Outro]
Yeah, all the roads are boarded closed
There's nowhere else to go, go, go, go
And the scars inside my brain remain
They make me feel so low, low, low, woah
