Scars
Brennan Savage Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bands on my mind
Blood on my shoes
Never pay respects, but i pay my dues
Wanna act like me I never act like you
Wanna take my shine, but i got bad news

When I step in the building ima make shit shake
Ima body anybody they send my way
I can handle any problem thats on my plate
You gon' see my face close case now

Bands on my mind
Blood on my shoes
Never pay respects, but i pay my dues
Wanna act like me I never act like you
Wanna take my shine, but i got bad news

It'll take a bullet to stop me,
and you need a heavy hand if ya plannin' to drop me
Tell your man if he plannin' to rob me,
Ima die for my pride I'll go down with a fight

A lot of people they fallin' off the map
Still got the scar when they stabbed me in the back
Gotta wonder why our friends switch sides
But just seem to turn a wolf against his pack

I can't remember the last time that anyone kept shit real
You don't want to get on my bad side, I'm wild when I'm off them pills

Nobody love me when I tried, i would try again but I'm far too tired
You don't want to try me, or cross that line
But you ain't gonna do shit but waste my time

Bands on my mind
Blood on my shoes
Never pay respects, but i pay my dues
Wanna act like me I never act like you
Wanna take my shine, but i got bad news

When I step in the building ima make shit shake
Ima body anybody they send my way




I can handle any problem thats on my plate
You gon' see my face close case
