Sensei Jay - Battle Scars (feat. African Outkast) Lyrics

Yeah
Jay
I got these battle scars
Said I'll, be a star
When the times was hard
Solid, I played my part
I been, real from the start
Always protect your heart
When the times was hard
Solid, I played my part
Sha, grew up the only nigga so I had step it up
Supplement the duties that my father had I'm catchin up
Not complaining but the world was acting like I'm messing up
Had to change the attitude you cross me then you pack it up
Half of these niggas wasn't passionate like I was
I lost my peoples I just visit them with flowers
Thinking we're afflicted and I'm contemplating why us
Nothing was the same since the world became so messed up
I just, focus on prayer since the word is what I got
Got my, people they with me I just pray we make a lot
I'm just, stuck in the studio I'm stirring up the pot
Got my, dream and a dollar Ima make it to the top
I got these battle scars
Said I'll, be a star
When the times was hard
Solid, I played my part
I been, real from the start
Always protect your heart
When the times was hard
Solid, I played my part
Never needed validation did it in my own way
Couple bad choices I regret but I cannot stay
In the past we moving like a record when you press play
Grindin' every minute tell these shawties I cannot lay
Pakuda commission recognition in these streets, uh
Heavy is the crown that is fitted for a king, uh
Never felt the pressure took my time to make this shi, uh
Diamond in the rough representing for the East
Got all these battle scars but we past the trauma now we ball
Ima be a star visualizing mama at the show
Ima go far, y'all gon' know the cadence and the flow
Never slackin' sha, always know I'm giving it my all
