[Verse]
Heart bruised, bandaged, the stitches don't heal,
Money stacked high, but I’m broke in the feel.
Grind heavy, like anvils in my chest,
Success in my hands, but pain my only guest.
Blood on the pavement, dreams in the sky,
Tears on my chain, you can see 'em when I cry.
The crowd screams, but the void's still quiet,
Fame a hungry beast, and my soul feeds its diet.
[Chorus]
Scars in the shine, yeah, the glow don’t fade,
Every cut, every wound, that’s the price I paid.
Chains too heavy, but I wear 'em with pride,
Success and pain, can’t run, can’t hide.
[Verse 2]
Mic burns hot, spit venom through the wires,
Soul’s on fire, but the heart’s in the pliers.
Phonk echoes deep, bass shakes my spine,
Every verse a battle, every line a mine.
Bottles on the table, shattered glass on the floor,
I build my empire, but it still wants more.
The pain’s my partner, the scars my crown,
Climbing to the top, just to never come down.
[Pre-Chorus]
They say the top’s lonely, they ain't wrong,
Success a cruel lover, sings a hollow song.
