Thigh Scars, War Crowns

[Intro]
Look at these lines
Down my thighs
Every mark
A time I survived (yeah)
[Verse 1]
These scars on my thighs, that’s a battle map
Every cut, every line where the war came back
I was praying in the bathroom, shaking on the floor
Thought the hurt in my head would win this war
But I stitched my skin
Held my breath, dove in
Turned every “you ain’t shit”
To a crown I sit in
I’m the storm, I’m the calm, I’m the scream, I’m the laugh
I’m the girl they threw away, now I’m owning my past (yeah)
[Chorus]
The scars on my thighs are the battles I fought
I bled with my body for the pain in my heart
I am a queen
I am a warrior (say it)
I am a queen
I am a warrior (yeah)
The scars on my thighs, they’re a part of my art
I bled with my body for the pain in my heart
I am a queen
I am a warrior
I am a queen
I am a warrior
[Verse 2]
They said “cover that up,” I said “this is my truth”
Every line on my leg is a chapter of youth
When the nights got loud and my hope got thin
I carved out space just to feel something
But I rose from the tub, wiped tears off my face
Looked dead in the mirror, found a different grace
Told the girl in the glass “we gon’ rewrite fate”
Now my walk got weight, every step got hate
Turned to fuel (yeah), turned to flame
Turned my shame to a holy name
Call me crown-head, heartbreak slayer
Self-love saint, inner child’s savior (woo)
[Chorus]
The scars on my thighs are the battles I fought
I bled with my body for the pain in my heart
I am a queen
I am a warrior (hey)
I am a queen
I am a warrior
The scars on my thighs, they’re a part of my art
I bled with my body for the pain in my heart
I am a queen
I am a warrior
I am a queen
I am a warrior
[Bridge]
Hands to the sky for the girls like me (girls like me)
Who hid their legs, who hid their grief (hid their grief)
We don’t hide, we don’t ask why
We just stand, we just testify (testify)
Say: my scars
Are proof I stayed
My heart
Refused the grave (yeah)
[Chorus]
The scars on my thighs are the battles I fought
I bled with my body for the pain in my heart
I am a queen
I am a warrior (say it loud)
I am a queen
I am a warrior
The scars on my thighs, they’re a part of my art
I bled with my body for the pain in my heart
I am a queen
I am a warrior (ooh)
I am a queen
I am a warrior
