🎵 Hook (spoken-sung, emotional)
These ain’t scars, they stories with a plot (with a plot)
Every cut on me came with a lesson I forgot (fr)**
I ain’t healed, I just learned how to walk
With a limp full of pain and a mouth full of chalk
These scars talk louder than my name (they loud)
Each one linked to a face I can’t blame
I don’t flex, I confess through flame
Scar stories — inked in vein
---
[Verse 1 – Pain memoir style, vivid and personal]
This one on my hand? That’s pops goin’ ghost
Had to swing on a wall just to silence the smoke
One on my ribs? That’s love gone foul
Shorty lied with her tears while she ruined my vow
Scar on my leg? That’s runnin’ from loss
Same night granny died, I got robbed at the cross
See this one near my eye? That’s trust
Trusted a friend, now I don’t talk much
And this one on my soul? You can’t even see
But it bleed in every bar that bleeds from me

🔊 Ad-Libs – Verse 1:
“True story.” / “Every mark matter.” / “They all talk.” / “Wrote in skin.”

🎵 Hook (repeat – more vocal layering)
These ain’t scars, they stories with a plot
Every cut on me came with a lesson I forgot
I ain’t healed, I just learned how to walk
With a limp full of pain and a mouth full of chalk
These scars talk louder than my name
Each one linked to a face I can’t blame
I don’t flex, I confess through flame
Scar stories — inked in vein

[Verse 2 – Acceptance, growth through damage]
I ain’t ashamed of the damage I wear
It’s the proof I survived what nobody would dare
They say “move on” — I move through
Carry my pain like a blade that grew
These scars my résumé — not my chains
They the reason I write with a hurricane brain
I got burned, but I built from smoke
Now my pain worth gold in every quote
If I ever go silent, just check my skin
Every scar got a voice that don’t blend in
---
🔊 Ad-Libs – Verse 2:
“Proof I lived.” / “Say that.” / “Real ink.” / “Permanent.”

🎧 Outro – sample crackles, piano solo
(Spoken)
I don’t need ink to tell my story.
I wear it.
