Open Wounds Lyrics

[VERSE 1]
Momma, poppa, forgive me for the constant sinning
All the problems, the dealings
But the block was appealing

It was blocking my ceiling
No college, not willing to get polished
I was reeling, feeling down now I'm healing
Slow progress, wait, that’s a beginning
My solace is fitting
I never had no qualms with admitting, when I'm scorned
My life's a whirlwind in a storm, that skipped the calm
Yeah, you know where I'm from
Now that the picture is drawn
Don't get ya facts wrong, I used to front like I got my trap on
Didn't even realize as time passed I became that character
Before I put that act on like a Black Swan
Did life cast wrong, maybe, probably
Mercedes, hotties, who praise me, I'm godly
In my mind, my composure is spotty
Everyday laid with a lady, but I'm closer to my shotty
No!
Retrace my life's design, change the image from the frame
Outta sight, outta mind
You know the cycle, you lose one & gain some
The dichotomy’s in place, you can't intertwine’em, back to phase one
It’s like Looper, ya choice, better make one
You choose but, make none, ya fate’s done
My slum, near the bottom end like a bass drum
Raise the stakes, I made mistakes, but my pains numb
Why? Cause I faced them
[HOOK]
Face my mistakes
They tell me all time, just let’em heal slow
But I don't pay’em mind, I even let’em show
Shit, where do I go? Maybe I know
Maybe I don't, uh, yeah, yeah…
Open wounds
Gotta strive, gotta try to stay straight
On my road while I'm closing
Closing these open wounds

[VERSE 2]
I look around like, what happened here?
Trapped in this atmosphere just hoping that some cracks appear
Got some homies on lockdown these last few years
I seen my best friend get shot down like some bad idea
My path ain't clear, I'm fucking boxed in
In wishbone offense, I’m running outta options

Friends will hate to ya back, they fake & they plottin’
Watch’em close, they be acting Shady like Hopsin

I’m playing possum, I bait’em, dare’em to try something
Real recognize itself, and you are in disguise frontin’
Everybody's ride or die, til’ they life's on the line
Then they like, “Why would I ride? I rather not die for nothing”

No discussion, the clock is tickin’
I honestly think, my target is me, I’m probably my only competition
From poverty stricken, to robberies, pitching
Something was constantly guiding me
Tell God, my conscience has risen
(Like whoa)
[HOOK]
Face my mistakes
They tell me all time, just let’em heal slow
But I don't pay’em mind, I even let’em show
Shit, where do I go? Maybe I know
Maybe I don't, uh, yeah, yeah…
Open wounds
Gotta strive, gotta try to stay straight
On my road while I'm closing
Closing these open wounds

[VERSE 3]
When can I finally close’m? Man I'm hoping soon
I pray & hope there's room before the closing of this tune
I'm so in-tune with what others do
It’s hard for me to fuckin’ move
Don't care if it sucks to lose
Stuck on the net searching for nothing
I need to stop this, always seeing gossip
Don't care about, still I read and watch it
Peep ya knowledge, they use methods of detail
You know Beyonce's daughter's name- Who invented the email?
Shit, I been poisoned bit the apple too
Moving on, I'm Kublai Khan, I've found my Xanadu
Days pass, they say time heals all wounds, but I
Stood, picking at my scabs, fell to a swoon
Then I woke up, in hell? No, inhaled, uh, exhaled
A breath, I pressed through my fails, then I exceled
Now look here, Momma, ya kid’s not a doctor
Rather than be like his father, he wanted to be like Big Poppa
But that’s okay, you’re sad, I'm sorry I'll go console you soon
I wonder if this song’s for me or you?
