People tatting my name and I see where it's placed
Just to cover the scars
People chanting my name and whenever I'm in pain
It helps cover the scars
Whoa, whoa, whoa
It covers the scars
Whoa, whoa, whoa
It covers the scars, yeah
Told y'all I'll make my mark in this (I told ya)
Just because my name attached to the army, no narcissist (I know ya)
I was standing at the merch table looking for a marker quick (yes, I known ya)
Then the girl showed me a tattoo covering where she scarred her wrist (Isoldier)
All this love I can't explain it
She held me so damn close, left my shirt soaked from tears like rain hit (cry closer)
"Don't Let Go" was on her playlist
One day I got a message said, "But your song couldn't save him" (I'm tore up)
'Cause I might save somebody else, but I feel crazy 'bout it
Hell, why don't we take the time to help? But no
They say my name so loud it melts, all the pain that I done felt
Would mutilate not even 12, whoa
Only thing on my mind, yeah, is keep saving these lives
Yeah, and all the merch y'all buy, yeah, it turn around and saves mine
Yeah, all double time lying, yeah, a tattoo showing signs
Yeah, although we got different kinds, yeah, your scars are just like mine
Yeah, 'cause when I open my eyes I see
People tatting my name, I see where it's placed
Just to cover the scars
People chanting my name and whenever I'm in pain
It helps cover the scars
Whoa, whoa, whoa
It covers the scars
Whoa, whoa, whoa
It covers the scars
Used to wear a long sleeve just to cover the scars
One day at school wasn't covered at all
Sarah came up to me, I was in love
You see when she sat down and start touching my arms
Said, "Don't be ashamed of it, one day we'll talk"
And that's when she gave me her number to call
We fell in love quick but then suddenly dog, she got murdered
That was the worst summer of all
I tried to end my life because of it all
Imagine, I made it but somewhere in awe
Came back to the school and got mugged in the halls
I found out some homies, they wasn't my dawgs
They turned around and made fun of me all
But my gun didn't think it was funny at all
Now they battled depression, and some of 'em lost
I made it and still keep in touch with them all
Because I'm a real one with just love in my heart
I put this in my music, got love from the start
I got so many people that love me for all of the things that I wanted to cover up
Y'all wouldn't understand none of it 'cause I've been targeted
Against the wall and then suffered but all of it
Had a big purpose to help out the world
If I could go back, I would change nothing at all
I see tats yeah, a bunch of kinds
They help me snap out of my corrupted mind
I used to think I was alone, but come to find
We're all the cut the same way, your blood's like mine
It's like I took all the tools that were cut inside
To use blood to write a bunch of rhymes
So when you ink my name over the cuts it's like
The love y'all show me, it covers mine (covers mine)
Yeah
People tatting my name and I see where it's placed
Just to cover the scars
People chanting my name and whenever I'm in pain
It helps cover the scars
Whoa, whoa, whoa
It covers the scars
Whoa, whoa, whoa
It covers the scars
