Started as a normal day
Never thought that it would turn out like this
See my brain been scattered
Since the day it's been damaged
But I gotta tell y'all
So I can turn the page of that chapter
The plan in motion
To kick back with some Mickeys
Wouldn't be surprised if we got a lil sack of that sticky
Punch the clock at the night job
In fact it happened quickly
Alex hit the pegs on the bike so we can get back quickly
Rollin' thru the parking lot of the mall
Had to hit the light, then it's a straight shot and we gone
We approached the intersection I tapped on the brakes
To my alarm I found out we ain't got no brakes
Comin' to the four-way didn't have time left to think
A flash of light came then it all went blank
Awake for a moment, what do I see?
But a vision of the whole family lookin' at me
Three days later and I find out the facts
That I flew face first thru the glass
On the dash when we crashed
Body limp as blood begins to flow
From the initial blow
It don't matter what the statistics show
At the rate of a car comin' up hill
I should've been killed
When my lungs pierced and the blood spilled
But I had no God moment
In fact I was itchin' to party
To the woman that hit me I never told I was sorry
Lookin' in the mirror
You can't say it never scarred me
Scarred deep
Cuz apart of my heart beat was concrete
I was 17 years young with a weight on my shoulder
Hate in my soul began to overflow and takeover
Little did I know that my whole life was about to be made over, yeah
He said that He loved me thru scars and all
Said He would answer every time that I call
You picked me up when I would fall
Yeah, Beautiful scars and all
He said that He loved me thru scars and all
Said He would answer every time I call
You picked me up when I would fall
Yeah, Beautiful scars and all
On the run from love, my heart was hardened had so much anger
No shortcut I took the path that brought me str8 to danger
Talk all you want, nah
Couldn't nobody tell me nothin'
They tried to talk about God
But you couldn't get me to swear on nothin'
Behind the mask I was fulla so much shame
Didn't wanna take the blame
So focused on playin' games, nah
The blind ambition becoming a rap star
Embarrassed that I had scars from that crashed car, so
What am I doing in this Bible bookstore?
Like a wolf in sheep's clothing
Creeping in to look for, Wait!
Nah, God told me hold up
Took a green house flyer Friday nite when I showed up
They talkin scripture, thinkin when we finna roll up?
Can't explain the way but I left that place with my soul touched
And I'm glad to say, I ain't never been the same since
Took these scars to the doctor
Best surgery ever, He gave me the gift of salvation
He said that He loved me thru scars and all
Said He would answer every time that I call
You picked me up when I would fall
Yeah, Beautiful scars and all
He said that He loved me thru scars and all
Said He would answer every time I call
You picked me up when I would fall
Yeah, Beautiful scars and all
So what's your excuse?
You waiting for a tragedy to happen?
Handle your family matters
Because your family matters
Handle your eternity matters
Cuz where you spend your eternity matters
In the Name of the Father
We have eternity after
