Scar Tissues

Yeah…

Scrapin’ my knuckles on the edge of survival…

Look-

I been fightin’ through the static, erratic, mind fractured

Back against the wall with a jaw full of shattered chapters

Ladder to the top got snapped in the climb

Now I’m rappin’ through the pain like it’s trapped in a rhyme

Blackin’ out time, every second’s a weapon

Depression’s a lesson I’m stressin’, confessin’ aggression

Obsession with breathin’, but breath feels borrowed

Every step forward’s a threat to tomorrow

Follow the hollow, I swallow the sorrow

Bottle it up then I model the motto

“Never break down,” but the cracks keep showin’

Mask stays strong while the back keeps bowin’

Crowded thoughts in a drought of peace

Loud heartbeat like a countdown beat

Ground shakes every time I slip

But I dig my nails in—won’t drown, won’t quit

I been bent, never broke, yeah I choke but I breathe

Every scar got a story that’s been carved into me

I don’t fold, I reload every ounce of belief

Even ghosts in my head can’t compete when I speak

I been fightin’ too hard just to live this life

Every bar’s like a scar, every word’s a knife

Cut deep but I keep standin’ tall in the storm

Yeah I’m torn, but I’m still transformin’

I been fightin’ too hard, yeah I bleed, I bruise

But I refuse to lose when I got nothin’ to lose

If I fall, I evolve, turn the pain into art

Yeah I been fightin’ too hard—but I still got heart

Brain like a battlefield, shrapnel thoughts scatter

Mad chatter climbin’ up the ladder of what matters

Patterns of panic, mechanical damage

Every plan I imagined got abandoned in fragments

Stand in the flame, I don’t flinch when it burns

Learned pain’s a page that I gotta turn

Earn every inch with a clenched jaw grit

Spit venomous sentences, relentless with it

I’m a storm in a form that was never supported

Every norm I deform, every loss I recorded

Reinforce every core that was torn from within

Now I war with myself just to score me a win

Sin in my veins but I cleanse through the pen

Bend but I don’t ever end, I ascend again

Tend to the wounds but they bloom into power

Every second I suffer just devours the coward

So if I break—

I rebuild from the rubble I made

If I fall—

I evolve through the struggle and pain

Product of pressure, compressin’ the panic

Till it bursts from my chest—mechanical, manic

Patchin’ the past but it keeps on bleedin’

Every mask that I wear got cracks for a reason

Demons keep feedin’ on doubt in my mind

I drag ‘em to light, leave ‘em dyin’ behind

Chaos inside but I silence the riot

Turn pain into power, defiant, I rise

Backhand fate, I don’t play with the odds

Rewrite every loss like I’m challengin’ gods

Flawed but I’m forged in the furnace of fear

Every tear I shed made my purpose more clear

Yeah…

Still breathin’, still swingin’…

Still here.
