BEAUTIFUL SCARS (feat. Will Smith & OBanga)

Fly as a eagle, fresh outta Philly
Yeah, I still rep the city
Mirrors on the wall worth half a billi'
'Cause I'm a icon
Somebody you could base your life on
That you should place your sights on
Shot on canons and Nikons
Turn the cameras and lights on

I been about the action, master actor
I still rap, feel like Mike when they turn the mic on
And I got will until the wheels fall off
That's just the will I am, my willpower
Got these cowards sayin': Goddamn, he just won't quit
Won't fold and won't switch
I wrote the code, I'm Mr. Smith
'Cause this is the matrix
This is my regular basis
I am a headache you play as I'm playin' my aces
Every card with the faces
I am a king with a queen reign
As supreme, been through the rain
Mud on my feet, tracks in street fame
Get me Steve mask off, see my face ain't clean
Did my dirt, made it hurt worse
Went to church feelin' curse worked
I am South Kid, [Sugi?] first
Couldn't tell I been through hell on earth
The truth and it burns, you live and you learn
Now I'm like a [?], life is confusin'
I hate when I lose it, but I face the music

Go: Why did he do it? See, I'm only human

It's the beautiful scars, yeah
It's the beautiful flaws, yeah
I done fell about a million times
Now I rise up again, closer to God
It's the beautiful scars, yeah
It's the beautiful flaws, yeah
I done fell about a million times (yeah, woah)
Now I rise up again, closer to God (woah)

When you keep it G and beat the odds, that's what you call gods
Closer to God like I'm in the synagogue
I had to quit trippin' over shit that isn't worth the fall, you know
Back against the wall, my whole life a work of art (boi)
Younger me would blame everybody else like it's their fault
Till you realize you a walkin' magnet, so you the cause
What's your vibration? (What?)
Uh, how you pour back in yourself?
Yeah, what's your libation, hydration?
A lot of advice I'm not takin'
Gotta take this with a grain of salt, just like any recipe on how to make it look

It's Mr. Edison and Mr. Smith, we done coded the codes
I got tired of bein' over-controlled, learnin' as I go, learnin' as I grow
I don't gotta do this shit over and over
Quit askin' me [dubs?], you know what you know
It ain't the end if I don't get the credit
I'm a livin' legend, I'ma live and die a legend
I ain't tryna get it, bitch, I gotta get it

It's the beautiful scars, yeah (ayy, yeah)
It's the beautiful flaws, yeah (yeah)

There are no limits, I send through the universe
I believe in me like religion, but I am the only one who converse
Conversations with the congregation, the scripter is in the verse
I manifest through my mentality, the only real is my reality
I rebuild with the broken pieces that are shattered on the floor
I am healed by the deepest teachings that were given by remorse
The codes are my lineage, I be around for another millennium
Climbin' the ladder to heaven on helium
Seein' the sufferin', dreamin' and healin' 'em
You are the one in a million, billion
You are the answer, you are the power, you are the principle
Every second that you're livin' is pivotal
Anything that's broken is remixable
Even when it's not physical, you are not alone, trust the invisible
Ancestors flex, winnin' is critical
Top of the pyramids, I am the pinnacle

It's the beautiful scars, yeah (yeah)
It's the beautiful flaws, yeah (yeah)
I done fell about a million times
Now I rise up again, closer to God
It's the beautiful scars, yeah (yeah)
It's the beautiful flaws, yeah (yeah)
I done fell about a million times
Now I rise up again, closer to God
