Hasan Salaam - Scars Over Scars lyrics

[Verse 1: Hasan Salaam] Said you heard it all before but not like this Bottle ready Eddie King singing nights like this Said I sip my drink and I puff my spliff For those dead and gone, only ones I miss My ex fiancé can't help but reminisce And wish there wasn't some of the bullsh** we could fix I was this close to settling down But now it's this one that one damn I get around Through all the pain one thing that I found Is the only time it ends is when you're under the ground Pound of flesh for my sins when d**h come and visit ‘Till then pour some liquor for G and Metaphysics Like this [Chorus: Hasan Salaam] Said we hope for sunshine prepare for rain Look forward to the joy but grown used to pain Heaven fall short of what you talk out here If hell below I'm a see y'all there Said we hope for sunshine prepare for rain Look forward to the joy but grown used to pain Heaven fall short of what you talk out here If hell below I'm a see y'all there (Cheers) [Verse 2: Hasan Salaam] Said I've seen better days and I'm starting to see greys Those who love me what can I say, I push them away Strayed off the path and ran right to the fray Had a whole lotta dreams but life got in the way They say the damned don't cry But only God knows why Sip rye and get high to get by Try to cleanse the sins for the sake of my Mother But I got scars over scars and none get to recover Roll more than credits in this life of drama You talking ‘bout copping cars I gotta take care of my Mama And Ima say this clear so all y'all hear They'll throw me in electric chairs if she shed one tear Been looking for a reason to smile Kinda like my brother Nelson did with the birth of his child Been a while since I saw myself in that bright light Too many nights starting fights wasn't wrapped too tight But now I'm here just trying get right Leave the bullsh** behind and I'm writing for dear life So if you here and you done felt like I feel raise a gla** to the ceiling Let's toast to the real Cheers [Chorus: Hasan Salaam] Said we hope for sunshine prepare for rain Look forward to the joy but grown used to pain Heaven fall short of what you talk out here If hell below I'm a see y'all there Said we hope for sunshine prepare for rain Look forward to the joy but grown used to pain Heaven fall short of what you talk out here If hell below I'm a see y'all there (Cheers) I grew up too fast but I was having a blast Who have known at the time that the sh** don't last Memories are faded maybe I'm a little jaded Just get the story from me and not the women I've dated Been better been worse No mosque no church Just a lost soul cursed with a bottle of hurt It is what it is no matter what life bring The blues I sing is a beautiful thing Despite my flaws the heart stays pure Another day above ground can't ask for much more So f** making it rain/ I'm a let it pour 40 days and nights or until my ark hits shore [Chorus: Hasan Salaam] Said we hope for sunshine prepare for rain Look forward to the joy but grown used to pain Heaven fall short of what you talk out here If hell below I'm a see y'all there Said we hope for sunshine prepare for rain Look forward to the joy but grown used to pain Heaven fall short of what you talk out here If hell below I'm a see y'all there (Cheers)
