**[Intro — Talking]**
Yeah...
Everybody got an opinion
But ain't nobody carry my pain
Ain't nobody fight my battles
So if I seem distant...
If I move different...
Just know I earned that
**[Hook]**
I done survived things I don't talk about
Made it through storms they know nothing about
Now I'm protecting everything I fought to keep
My peace too expensive, it don't come cheap
Too many nights I was lost in pain
Had to find my way back again
Now I walk like pressure every damn day
And I wish a bitch would try to take my peace away
**[Verse 1]**
Mind racing every night, couldn't get no sleep
Too much pain inside, cut too damn deep
Kept my struggles quiet, suffered in silence
Trying to find peace in the middle of violence
People only see the woman that I became
They don't know the battles attached to my name
Every scar got a story, every tear left proof
I survived some shit that would've broke you
**[Pre-Chorus]**
Too many lessons, too many scars
That's why I keep my circle small
If it mess with my peace, it gotta go
I learned that the hard way, now I know
**[Hook]**
I done survived things I don't talk about
Made it through storms they know nothing about
Now I'm protecting everything I fought to keep
My peace too expensive, it don't come cheap
Too many nights I was lost in pain
Had to find my way back again
Now I walk like pressure every damn day
And I wish a bitch would try to take my peace away
**[Verse 2]**
I don't chase people, I let 'em go
If the love ain't real, then it gotta go
Ain't no more begging for somebody to stay
If they want the door, I'ma let 'em walk away
See my heart got stronger from every scar
Now I know exactly who the real ones are
And every lesson made me wiser than before
Can't nobody break what survived the war
**[Pre-Chorus]**
Too many lessons, too many scars
That's why I keep my circle small
If it mess with my peace, it gotta go
I learned that the hard way, now I know
**[Bridge]**
I carried pain that wasn't mine
Stayed too long, crossed too many lines
Now I'm choosing me
And that's the difference
The old me would've stayed
The new me walking away
**[Final Hook]**
I done survived things I don't talk about
Made it through storms they know nothing about
Now I'm protecting everything I fought to keep
My peace too expensive, it don't come cheap
Too many nights I was lost in pain
Had to find my way back again
Now I walk like pressure every damn day
And I wish a bitch would try to take my peace away
**[Outro — Spoken]**
Some scars don't disappear...
You just learn how to carry them
Some memories don't fade...
You just learn how to live with them
But peace...
Peace is something you fight for
And baby...
I fought hard for mine
*(Soft guitar fades out)*
Yeah...
I fought hard for mine
And anybody that don't like it...
Can get the fuck on
