Scars - Merkules

Yo, I was sixteen tought I was the man 'cause I was rappin'

Always partying and drinking never thinking what could happen

I remember when I went and hit the studio

I was nervous me and snak writing verses, I’m thinking who to know

I felt I allmost had something to prove

So I was acting hella stupid after chugging some booze

Really tought I was the man, looking up to the crew

But all my homies thinking «Merk, what the fuck’s up with you?»

Now we finished all the writing and it was time to recall

I didn’t know what I was doing when I opened the door, into that poof

Yeah I got it but it took me a while

And when I heard the finish product I just looked with a smile

So we finished up the text and I was on my way home

All my friends knew about it so they blew up my phone

Have me stressing, asking questions like

«Yo, how did it go?»

I knew that when I hit the party I just put on a show

Yo, it’s funny how your whole life could change in a day, that’s the way that

things go when you’re making a name

I’m turning nothing into something, I’m just pavering my way

Pass that motherfucking mic or I might take it away

Yo, it’s funny how your whole life could change in a day, that’s the way that

things go when you’re making a name

I’m turning nothing into something, I’m just pavering my way

Pass that motherfucking mic or I might take it away

So I went and got my shit, then we met up with some friends

And I showed them all the track, from the starting to the end

So exited I decided it was time to celebrate, I went and bought a bottle,

but we showed up kinda late

And the spot that we were at, were filled with all the dudes

I got drunk and stayed quiet and chilled, I know the rules

Then it got late, homie said it was time for us to go

We couldn’t get a ride and started walking in the snow

It was me and my girl, my buddy and his chick

It was new-years night, we were chugging that twix quick

Couple other homies with us, we were on our way home

But a car almost hit us driving right of the road

I’m yelling «Slow down!»

But he didn’t like the sound of that

Pulled over, got out of his car like he was down to scrap

What a tough guy, tryna' pick a fight with us

Even took a swing except he missed because the guy was drunk

Yo, it’s funny how your whole life could change in a day, people love talking

shit, let them say what they say

Just be you, all that bullshit 'ain't gonna stay, learn to be the better person

what are they gonna say

Yo, it’s funny how your whole life could change in a day, people love talking

shit, let them say what they say

Just be you, all that bullshit 'ain't gonna stay, learn to be the better person

what are they gonna say

As he jumps into his ride, he said he’ll be back to find us

That was when two cars just pulled up behind us

The doors opens and some dudes jumped out

Mad song with machete swinging two arms out

So I’m running, tryna' get away, but in a state of shock

I was screaming for my life, I just wanna make them stop

Got knocked out with a bat, they were taking me out

Then i remeber a buddy put a switch-blade in my mouth

We were only a kilometer away from my house

I’m thinking I’m about to die, I was facing a doubt

Stop breathing, I was bleeding, couldn’t make any calls

And then a see a big machete heading straight to my skull

Took one across the cheek, took one across the forehead

Crazy had my breath away from laying on the floor dead

My homie Jordan was nuts, he wasn’t having it

Swinging at this suckas relentless, while they were stabbing him

They grabbed the girls, and tried to drag them in the car

But they were screaming so loud, they didn’t make it very far

Then I blacked out, layed around and woke up in a hospital

Surrounded by my family and friends like who’s responsible

So confused I could’t answer any questions

But since then I stuck to the music so it’s a blessing

If that didn’t happen who knows just were I’d be?

Probably dead or in jail so here’s a thank you from me
