Ceiling Full of Scars

[Intro]
Yeah
Life talk
Turn me up a little
Mm
[Verse 1]
Used to count change in a cracked glass jar
Mama in the kitchen, daddy at the bar
Arguin' through the wall while I read those stars
Glow-in-the-dark on the ceiling full of scars
Late bus rides, headphones like armor
Zone out, whole world get calmer
Teacher said, "Boy, you a late bloomer"
Same week, saw my cousin on a late rumor
White sheet, blue lights, siren singin'
Whole block froze up, heart still ringin'
That was when I learned what a lie feel like
Smile on the 'Gram, but we cry all night
[Chorus]
Life so loud in my head, I can't mute it (can't mute it)
Tryna hold on to my faith, I might lose it (might lose it)
Every scar that I got, yeah, I use it (I use it)
Turn that pain into gold, I refuse it (I refuse)
To let this life
Turn me cold like that
I'ma write my name
Where the sky turn black
Yeah, this life
It don't fight so fair
But I swear on my soul
I ain't dyin' in despair (no)
[Verse 2]
Got a lil' buzz, then the fake ones surfaced
"Bro, I always knew" — why you sound so nervous?
You ain't see me in the dark when my hands kept shakin'
Prayin' that the floor don't cave, heart breakin'
Bills on the table like a deck I'm losin'
Landlord knockin', I can hear him movin'
Text from my ex, "You ain't built like that"
But I'm still on my feet, how you feel 'bout that?
Friends in the group chat ghosted
Then hit me with a "We posted"
Soon as the numbers went up, they proud now
Funny how love get loud when it's clout now
I done seen rich kids hate they life
And broke kids laugh through a long bad night
So who really winnin' when the time run out?
All that flex don't help when your light burn out
[Chorus]
Life so loud in my head, I can't mute it (can't mute it)
Tryna hold on to my faith, I might lose it (might lose it)
Every scar that I got, yeah, I use it (I use it)
Turn that pain into gold, I refuse it (I refuse)
To let this life
Turn me cold like that
I'ma write my name
Where the sky turn black
Yeah, this life
It don't fight so fair
But I swear on my soul
I ain't dyin' in despair (never)
[Bridge]
Some days I feel like I'm fallin' (fallin')
Screen light bright but I'm crawlin' (crawlin')
Scrollin' through lives that they polish
Meanwhile, my truth feel brolic
Tell me, what’s worth more, views or peace?
Chain on your neck or your mind on lease?
I done had nights I was scared to sleep
'Cause my dreams too big and my faith too weak, like
[Verse 3]
I remember ramen in a stained white bowl
Steam in my face, lil' flame, big hope
Now I'm in a place that I prayed I'd be
Still hear the old me tryna chase my feet
Therapist talkin', I'm noddin' slow
He said, "You don't gotta carry what you can't control"
So I let that go, then I grabbed my pen
Told my past, "You ain't drivin' this car again"
Life gave L's, I made letters out of 'em
Wrote my story in the cracks of the summer
Told my lil' bro, "You ain't just that block"
You a whole wide world in a one-room spot
If I fall off, I'ma climb right back
If my heart break, let it shine through the cracks
If the hate get loud, I'ma sing my truth
'Cause I came from the ground, now I aim past roofs
[Chorus]
Life so loud in my head, I can't mute it (can't mute it)
Tryna hold on to my faith, I might lose it (might lose

rap, Moody trap with widescreen 8D movement: distant bells and airy pads swirl around panned hi-hats, tight 808s, and a deep, menacing bass. Male vocals upfront, close and confessional in the verses, then wider and layered on the hook. Subtle pitch-shifted ad-libs answering key lines; second half adds a warped synth lead and heavier low-end for a cinematic lift.
