Socrates, L3V! - Lacerations Lyrics

Yeah
Woah
Holding on to my soul
Even though I run through the valleys I'm not alone
Staying on my ground I keep it real and I won't fold
I'm looking at myself and don't let no one control me

You can see my battle scars
People thinking I won't go really far
You seeing this side of me, you don't know I'm holding on
I've been awaken now they tried to take me out
Don't need a back and forth what we gon debate about

I just pray that God he give wisdom
Running from my problems I was scared I didn't listen
Growing up with pain and promises that weren't given
But don't just pity me for my condition

This storm done clouded my vision
Detox this outta my system
Misplacing you envy, my story died with your mention
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger tears of blood run from a tattered eye
My lacerations tell it all

Lacerations many generations
Of the people saying I would never make it
Built foundations with the ones that hated
Now I'm running this game like an operation

Tell it all born sinner, I was made to fall I'm in it
I've been on the wall, no winning
I've been hit with everything imagine

Make a statement for the ones who doubted all this bitterness my heart blacken
Had to renew my mind i needed balance taking my time in healing like an attic
Rebuilding my mind to the ones who hurt me holding my breath no more I'm worthy
Sticking to the plan following my journey making my way through the storm I'm learning

These thoughts, held me captive made me go insane
Feel like I'm numb to the pain, like I'm taking nova-cane
I hope you listening, too much on my resume
I know I'll be okay, nothing I'll put limits in

This storm done clouded my vision
Detox this outta my system
Misplacing you envy, my story died with your mention
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger tears of blood run from a tattered eye
My lacerations tell it all

I can feel this weight
Weighing on my brain
It all feels the same
Sunshine and the rain
I can feel this pain
I can't feel a thing
Yeah yeah

Those that stumble across my story shall be left heavy unpleasantly surprised
At the lack of clear vision tunnel lights and sinister skies
Nights trademarked by misery courtesy of my bloodline
Routine family fiascoes walls curtain a sons cry

Insomnia induced by screaming matches between my mother and father obsessed with lighting matches
Set my world aflame of raging madness
I never had a soul to show love that is why I lack it
Instead my heart received a hatchet so I sought to hack it

Suicide attempts the numbers raising with the rent
My fathers absence left me bent I can't believe what I've received these cards the I've been dealt
The handed of the damned my soul gambled in hell
Plus my faith was left on the shelf

I guess they done sold that separately
So how am I got sit up in your pews to fake melody huh
Im a man of God but don't believe in Sunday service
Pastor save your words for me because I'll regard them all as worthless

I been seeking the scriptures for God to reveal himself
If he got something to tell me then let him speak it for himself
Overdue answers think I'm in need of advancements
Ledger long as my history Jesus paying the ransom

Father father feel the tears I cry
Life has been so lonely since the moment I was born to my
Mothers hands that dropped me and my daddy left me out to die
I exhale these clouds that form around me crowding both my eyes

This storm done clouded my vision
Detox this outta my system
Misplacing you envy, my story died with your mention
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger tears of blood run from a tattered eye
My lacerations tell it all
