Phagocyte - Mental Scars lyrics

[VERSE 1: Cyantist] The struggle that I'm facing as a person is stressing The pressure that I'm bearing as a parent's perplexing It's 04:37 in the morning and I'm up, it's raining Got a lovely daughter and son that I'm raising I'm tossing and turning; it's freaking weird, I'm thinking What the hell is hard-working when the mind is not working? And how the hell would you advance if 24/7 You doing nothing but texting and social networking? Expect to find a job when you not even searching? There's no food for lazy man, the elders always saying So stop hating if a n***a is rising and you not ascending Been through times when the scars have been aching I'm still putting on a smile, yes I been faking They like to see you frown, yes they like when you're hurting Wishing they would burn your apartment down with kerosene And then they realize they been cursing a blessing [HOOK: Cyantist & Phagocyte] 2x Everyday I keep on fighting my personal battles It has never been the same since she blew those candles But I still shoot for the moon while wishing for stars I'm trapped in the battlefield these are my mental scars [VERSE 2: Phagocyte] So many days I've been crying in the den No brighter sun, just hope to depend Thirsty for revenge has never been in exchange I eat where I'm tied like a dog to a chain It's never been the same since mama board the train There's never been a fan who's there like a friend There's always been a friend who's there like a fan The world on my chest, captains don't complain Hustle in my vein, vegetation in my brain I make my own water I don't wait for the rain Buffalo Soldier, Bob Marley's offspring My mind is so clean, I'm not an average human being Always in battlefield like brothers in Palestine That type of life where your boxer is a jean That type of life that your folks never seen But I'm still a shark that don't swim in mainstream.. Cytee! [REPEAT HOOK] 2x [VERSE 3: Cyantist & Phagocyte] Who am I to blame you? Why should I condemn you? We live different lives I just have to understand you! We all feel the pain a man is not an angel We are all soldiers, so why should I underrate you? Defined by the ghetto and the struggles that made you Defined by haters and the traitors that betrayed you I guess I gotta fight on, a man is not a statue So stay real, never let the money change you Lift your head high when it feels like they hate you Break the chain, who are they to enslave you? Your future so bright, try to see it with a clear view Everyday is a struggle and the rivals shouldn't faze you The pressure of the weight you carry shouldn't stress you Put the smiles on your face never let scars depress you And thank God for the parents that raised you And thank God for the parents that raised you!! [HOOK: Cyantist & Phagocyte] 4x Everyday I keep on fighting my personal battles It has never been the same since she blew those candles But I still shoot for the moon while wishing for stars I'm trapped in a battlefield these are my mental scars [Outro] [Phagocyte] These are my mental scars [Cyantist] These are my mental scars [Cyantist & Phagocyte] These are my mental scars ______________________________________________________ T.co/tVnKvZOYCW
