Scars run deep

(Intro)

Yeah...

This one’s for the pain I never said,

For the nights I cried alone in bed.

Listen...

(Verse 1)

Born into darkness, no light in sight,

Mama showed fists, not love at night.

Treated like a slave, no reason, no rhyme,

Every scream I held back felt like a crime.

Bruises on my skin, but worse in my soul,

Every hit made a crack in the whole.

I was just a kid with a heart full of fear,

Wishing for a hug, but pain was all near.

Twelve years old, finally ran to my dad,

Thought I’d be safe, leave behind all I had.

But trauma don’t vanish, it sticks in your chest,

It whispers in silence, it robs you of rest.

(Hook)

Scars run deep, yeah they live in me,

Still I rise, try to break free.

Tried to die, but love held tight,

So I fight my demons every night.

Scars run deep, can’t erase the past,

But I’m here, still breathing, still built to last.

(Verse 2)

Twice I stood on the edge, looked down,

Wanted peace, wanted to drown.

But a voice in my head said “not today,”

Think of your fam, don’t throw it away.

Depression ain’t fake, it’s a war inside,

Smile on the face, but a storm I hide.

Every day’s a climb up a mountain steep,

With memories buried but never too deep.

Therapy ain't magic, but it’s a start,

Trying to patch what’s torn in the heart.

I’m learning to breathe, to forgive and to grow,

Even if healing is painfully slow.

(Hook)

Scars run deep, yeah they live in me,

Still I rise, try to break free.

Tried to die, but love held tight,

So I fight my demons every night.

Scars run deep, can’t erase the past,

But I’m here, still breathing, still built to last.

(Bridge)

I’m more than my wounds, more than my pain,

More than the trauma that runs in my vein.

I’m building a life with bricks from my past,

Stacking them strong, making it last.

Each tear was a lesson, each night made me tough,

Yeah, the road was hell, but I’m more than enough.

From victim to fighter, I’m flipping the script,

Writing my story with truth on my lips.

(Outro Verse)

So to the kid that I was, broken and small,

You made it through—you survived it all.

Now I spit these bars, not for fame or a trend,

But to show the pain don’t gotta be the end.

I’m still healing, yeah, I ain’t ashamed,

Still got nights where I curse my name.

But I got hope, got a dream in my chest,

And I’ll chase that light, give it my best.

(Final Hook)

Scars run deep, yeah they live in me,

Still I rise, try to break free.

Tried to die, but love held tight,

So I fight my demons every night.

Scars run deep, but they made me strong—

This is my life, my battle, my song.
