Beautiful Scars (feat. OBanga)

[00:08.17] Fly as a eagle, fresh outta Philly
[00:10.12] Yeah, I still rep the city
[00:11.88] Mirrors on the wall worth half a billi
[00:14.05] 'Cause I'm a icon, somebody you could base your life on
[00:17.41] That you should place your sights on
[00:19.13] Shot on Canons and Nikons
[00:21.21] Turn the cameras and lights on
[00:22.67] I been about the action, master actor
[00:24.99] I still rap, feel like Mike when they turn the mic on
[00:27.39] And I got Will until the wheels fall off
[00:30.59] That's just the Will I am, my willpower
[00:33.82] Got these cowards sayin', "Goddamn, he just won't quit
[00:37.74] "Won't fold and won't switch
[00:39.18] "I wrote the code, I'm Mr. Smith"
[00:41.55] 'Cause this is the matrix, this is my regular basis
[00:43.64] I am ahead of you players, I'm playing my aces, every card with the faces
[00:47.00] I am a king with a queen reign and supreme been through the rain
[00:49.59] Mud on my feet, tracks in the street, fame can be steep
[00:51.82] Mask off, see my face ain't clean
[00:53.88] Did my dirt, made it hurt worse
[00:55.25] Went to church feeling cursed
[00:56.42] Worked on myself, Kintsugi first
[00:58.61] Couldn't tell I've been through hell on earth
[01:00.22] The truth and it burns
[01:01.39] You live and you learn, oh
[01:02.37] I'm like Confucius, life is confusing
[01:03.85] I hate when I lose it, but I face the music
[01:05.34] "Oh why did he do it?" See, I'm only human
[01:07.02] It's the beautiful scars, yeah
[01:10.35] It's the beautiful flaws, yeah
[01:13.31] I done fell about a million times
[01:16.68] Now I rise up again closer to God
[01:19.86] It's the beautiful scars, yeah
[01:23.18] It's the beautiful flaws, yeah
[01:26.44] I done fell about a million times (yeah, woah)
[01:30.28] Now I rise up again closer to God (woah)
[01:32.72] When you keep it G and beat the odds, that's what you call gods
[01:35.75] Closer to God like I'm in the synagogue
[01:38.46] I had to quit trippin' over shit that isn't worth the fall, you know
[01:42.11] Back against the wall, my whole life a work of art
[01:45.05] Younger me would blame everybody else like it's they fault
[01:48.25] 'Til you realize you a walkin' magnet so you the cause
[01:51.33] What's your vibration? (What?)
[01:52.78] Uh, how you pour back in yourself?
[01:54.64] Yeah, what's your libation, hydration?
[01:56.09] A lot of advice I'm not takin'
[01:58.32] Gotta take this with a grain of salt, just like any recipe on how to make it look
[02:01.64] It's Mr. Edison and Mr. Smith, we done coded the codes
[02:04.28] I got tired of bein' over-controlled, learnin' as I go, learnin' as I grow
[02:07.35] I don't gotta do this shit over and over
[02:08.63] Quit askin' me dumb shit, you know what you know
[02:10.34] It ain't the end if I don't get the credit
[02:12.08] I'm a livin' legend, I'ma die a legend
[02:13.66] I ain't tryna get it, bitch, I gotta get it
[02:15.65] It's the beautiful scars, yeah (ayy, yeah)
[02:22.07] It's the beautiful flaws, yeah (yeah)
[02:27.62] There are no limits, ascend through the universe
[02:29.51] I believe in me like it's religion, but I am the only one who converts
[02:32.71] Conversations with the congregation, the scripture is in the verse
[02:36.44] I manifest through my mentality, the only real is my reality
[02:40.06] I rebuild with the broken pieces that are shattered on the floor
[02:42.62] I am healed by the deepest teachings that were given by the Moors
[02:46.12] The codes are my lineage, I be around for another millennium
[02:48.83] Climbin' the ladder to Heaven on helium
[02:50.41] Seein' the sufferin', dreamin' and healin' 'em
[02:51.87] You are the one in a million, billion
[02:53.52] You are the answer, you are the power, you are the principle
[02:56.83] Every second that you're livin' is pivotal
[02:58.33] Anything that's broken is remixable
[02:59.98] Even when it's not physical, you are not alone, trust the invisible
[03:03.25] Ancestors flex, winnin' is critical
[03:04.89] Top of the pyramids, I am the pinnacle
[03:06.84] It's the beautiful scars, yeah (yeah)
[03:10.89] It's the beautiful flaws, yeah (yeah)
[03:14.27] I done fell about a million times
[03:17.08] Now I rise up again closer to God
