Merkules - Scars lyrics

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 f**'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 Pa** that motherf**ing 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 Pa** that motherf**ing mic or I might take it away So I went and got my sh**, 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 sh**, let them say what they say Just be you, all that bullsh** '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 sh**, let them say what they say Just be you, all that bullsh** '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 s**as 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
