Lyrics SCARS - Nefew

Hold me closer, 'cause everyone around me been on my case
And I'm only getting older, but these scars don't seem to go away
Just hold me closer, 'cause everyone around me been in my face
And I'm only getting older, but these scars don't seem to go away

Yuh, make wish, what you want?
Is it a whip, just to flaunt
Or a crip with the front
Looking like Saint Laurent's
Yuh, in Marrakesh, lot of cash, maybe women
Type of money you can swim in
Or you just trying to fit in
With them bankers or them scholars
Making top dollar, pop collars, deep wallets
Listening to Wallace while you're soaking up the knowledge
On the way to work after college cause your loans are so obnoxious
The clock is ticking, punch the ticket
Then it's back to the kitchen cleaning dishes
Bitch I came from small beginnings and I'm dying to make a living
I want Benzes with them tinteds, one day I'll be sitting in it
I got a worrier spirit, that's a given
Man I've been falling through the cracks
Refused to fall in line
I got a target on my back
But at least I have a spine
Give it time bruh

Hold me closer, 'cause everyone around me been on my case
And I'm only getting older, but these scars don't seem to go away
Just hold me closer, 'cause everyone around me been in my face
And I'm only getting older, but these scars don't seem to go away

I'm selling tees out the trunk
Been grinding from the jump
Y'all can't judge me for my wants
My dreams are bigger than these dunks
On the real, I don't bow, much less kneel
Walking tall, like O'Neill, I got time on my heels
So you can miss me with that spiel
You've been selling to my people
Just for doing what they feel, keep it real
Life is precious, there's a method to my madness
Don't you ever second-guess it even if you can't grasp it
On my granny, made a promise
Get a Grammy, just be modest
When you get it, that's my vow
Slow and steady, nobody put me on
I had to learn it off the tele
OGs was at the Deli stacking shelves for some pennies
So I've been on my DIY, man at least I try
Making peace with god, cause we ain't see eye to eye
Ay Ay, piece of cake, I'ma sleep at my wake
But for now I beat the stakes, yuh

Hold me closer, 'cause everyone around me been on my case
And I'm only getting older, but these scars don't seem to go away
Just hold me closer, 'cause everyone around me been in my face
And I'm only getting older, but these scars don't seem to go away
