Scorpion tattoo covers his shoulder
|
Sting of the town, leaves you cold in the form in the morning with folders
|
I was raised to be a soldier
|
And it's because of the help from my dad, I used to hate him for the whelps on my back
|
All of your chores, sweep up the floors, under the couch and behind the doors
|
He taught me to stand on my own two
|
My teacher said if he's a fan on the old school
|
I said, 'No, he's the principal. He ain't scared of bullets, he's invincible'
|
And he taught me to look in the eyes of every grown man
|
Not as if you owe him but as if you own him
|
6 o'clock in the morning, yawning, 'cause real men don't sleep past dawn and we on it
|
Already doing push-ups in tank tops
|
Thanks pops for everything I have and what I ain't got
|
When I blow up like Adam's bombs I'mma spit it out
|
I'm dumb, 50 mil' just between dad and moms
|
This is just hard, how many gift cards did I give up just 'cause?
|
Not enough to match the plight of your own father's sin
|
I gotta catch a flight but you can tape it, right?
|
You can save money or you can save a life, you can blame mom or yeah, you can make it right
|
Everything that you taught me, I noted, the themes I quoted but the music, I wrote it
|
And all a man has in this world is his word and all I really want is a second to be heard
|
And I'm just searching for a witness but this is my independence
|
This is my independence, this is my independence
|
Welcome to independence, this is my independence
|
This is my independence
|
