Scars of the Sun

[Intro] [Verse 1] I seen the lights cut out, food gone, hope thin, Mama worked doubles just to pay the rent in. Streets taught lessons that the schools never gave, Learned early that the strong survive, the weak dig graves. Summers felt endless but the pain kept pace, Dreamin’ ’bout a future that I couldn’t yet taste. Put my heart in the pen, turned the loss into fire, Every scar on my soul built the man that inspires. [Hook] These scars of the sun, they made me strong, Every night I cried, but I still held on. From the ashes I rise, to the light I run, Can’t break me now, I’m the chosen one. [Verse 2] From the block to the ocean where the palm trees lean, I turned nightmares to visions, now I live in between. The past in my rearview, but I carry the weight, Could’ve folded from the struggle, but I chose to create. Now the sun hits the water, paint the sky in gold, Every verse is a story of a life I told. To the ones still grinding — don’t you dare let go, We the proof that the pain is the seed we sow. [Hook] These scars of the sun, they made me strong, Every night I cried, but I still held on. From the ashes I rise, to the light I run, Can’t break me now, I’m the chosen one. [Bridge] We rise, we shine, through the tears, through the f***t… We rise, we climb, every day, every night… [Final Hook] These scars of the sun, they made me strong, Every night I cried, but I still held on. From the ashes I rise, to the light I run, Can’t break me now, I’m the chosen one. [Outro]
