Scars
Iniquity Rhymes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I had a choice to go back and fix my mistakes
For everything they gave me, and all the shit I take
All the pain that I faced and all the rumors that they made
While I sat waited wishing everyday that I would gain
A big enough name, all I did was aim for fame
Cause I needed a way to escape from all of this change
Of being hated I prayed, they would stop bashing me
They did it so bad that I dropped the rapping scene
Now if I had a choice, I'd let the same mistakes grow
I wouldn't hide myself, behind a live phase, I'd show
The true side of what it's like to live through this high alone
Cause I've been low so long that I've hit the damn road!
Rock bottom, and this ride has been so cold
They just like to see me fall, so I gotta hold on!
And sometimes you gotta let go of the old
And let go of the ones you once loved, that's just how it goes
If I had to choose
To fight or to love
Would it all be so simple
Would my word be enough?
When plans you had failed
And it all starts to fall
All they see is how you're wearing the scars from it all
Bearing the scars from it all
Through hell and back, scars etched upon me slowly
Ga'head and bash, bars wretched, they can't hold me
No stepping back, star method with the only
Selective rap, I'm reckless, ya'll breathless, controlled peace
But I'm coming out the woodwork
Stepping awaying from typical bullshit, and though it would work
I rather motivate, no loathe or hate, but cultivate
My ultimatum states you discern your misunderstood worth!
So I'm here send a message
Made a business by exposing these bitches like Hef did
A wave of sickness has overcome, that which bested
Us, And I'm gonna try to rid of it because I'm desperate
Iniquity Rhymes, the multi multisyllable-ist
Boasting, suppose he's devoted to kill em a bit
A man is no true warrior without his battle
So I beckon the scars to form, you can't judge without the gavel!
If I had to choose
To fight or to love
Would it all be so simple
Would my word be enough?
When plans you had failed
And it all starts to fall
All they see is how you're wearing the scars from it all
Bearing the scars from it all
I never knew I'd make a mark this large
An image that starts a spark of rage in their hearts
Of constantly causing drama like love without a pause
I can never catch a break with these long scars
I can measure stacks of hate, brace, en garde!
And forever without error, I'll retake, this song's ours
Feel the pressure of my effort, the sky's withdrawn star
The treasure lies within mind, escape is long gone
But I swear to you, this game I'm about to make it mine
Lacing my shoes, cause I refuse to fall behind
I cause triggers, when I step through these rap minds!
Made 'em freeze, when they seen me come back like a cracked spine!
Ya lack shine! Flavors these good impact time!
Retract lies, haters seize your dispatched cries!
Know your sad man, but it happened and you're sat there!
I see you contemplating your throne recovery, but that's mine!
So deep, the only time of defeating me was to eat me alive
Back when I was swimmin' to reach the finish line!
Flip it off safe mode, I changed the reign to bullets
Hailing to this storm, as if I trained suicide, pull it!
Brew this, and sip it slow and swallow whole, I'm curing rap pollution
I'm rap's Confucius, Apollo's hope, fixing world contusions
These scars are worldwide, but they help us grow high
We are the bearers of our destinies, so go! Fly!
If I had to choose
To fight or to love
Would it all be so simple
Would my word be enough?
When plans you had failed
And it all starts to fall
All they see is how you're wearing the scars from it all
If I had to choose
To fight or to love
Would it all be so simple
Would my word be enough?
When plans you had failed
And it all starts to fall




All they see is how you're wearing the scars from it all
Bearing the scars from it all

Line by Line Meaning

If I had a choice to go back and fix my mistakes
If I were given the opportunity to travel in time and correct my wrongdoings


For everything they gave me, and all the shit I take
Despite everything that has been given to me, the hardships I still face are overwhelming


All the pain that I faced and all the rumors that they made
I have endured a lot of suffering and had to deal with false accusations made against me


While I sat waited wishing everyday that I would gain
I spent hours waiting, wanting my fame to increase


A big enough name, all I did was aim for fame
All I desired was a significant name in the industry, and the only goal I aimed for was fame


Cause I needed a way to escape from all of this change
I required a method to evade the continuous changes happening all around me


Of being hated I prayed, they would stop bashing me
I prayed for an end to the hate and constant bashing coming my way


They did it so bad that I dropped the rapping scene
The hate was too much to bear, causing me to leave the rap music industry


Now if I had a choice, I'd let the same mistakes grow
If given another option, I would allow the errors to remain and not try to correct them


I wouldn't hide myself, behind a live phase, I'd show
I would not conceal myself behind a persona but would demonstrate my genuine self


The true side of what it's like to live through this high alone
I would reveal the reality of living high, all by myself


Cause I've been low so long that I've hit the damn road!
I have hit rock bottom because of being at a low point for too long


Rock bottom, and this ride has been so cold
Being at the lowest point in life has been a bitter and cold journey


They just like to see me fall, so I gotta hold on!
Many individuals seek to enjoy my downfall, so I must strive to persevere


And sometimes you gotta let go of the old
Letting go of the past is necessary sometimes


And let go of the ones you once loved, that's just how it goes
It is merely the way things happen; you have to let go of the individuals you once cared for


To fight or to love, Would it all be so simple, Would my word be enough?
Deciding whether to combat or love, would it be straightforward, and would my conviction be sufficient?


When plans you had failed, And it all starts to fall
When your plans fail, and everything starts to fall apart


All they see is how you're wearing the scars from it all
People only see the scars from the battle, not the fight you put up


Through hell and back, scars etched upon me slowly
I have faced several challenges, and though they have left scars, they have been slow to heal


Ga'head and bash, bars wretched, they can't hold me
Go ahead and bash me however you want; the bars I spit are unpleasant, but they cannot defeat me


No stepping back, star method with the only
There is no going back, being a star is the only way forward


Selective rap, I'm reckless, ya'll breathless, controlled peace
My rap style is choosy, and I'm carefree, causing listeners to be astonished, though it results in a peaceful vibe


But I'm coming out the woodwork
I am emerging out of the shadows


Stepping awaying from typical bullshit, and though it would work
Moving away from typical drama, and although it may have sufficed


I rather motivate, no loathe or hate, but cultivate
I would instead inspire, not despise or hate, but nurture


My ultimatum states you discern your misunderstood worth!
My final offer demands you understand your true value, which has been misconstrued


So I'm here send a message
I'm sending a message while being present here


Made a business by exposing these bitches like Hef did
I turned exposing people like Hugh Hefner into a business


A wave of sickness has overcome, that which bested
A wave of illness has taken over whatever appeared to be the best


Us, And I'm gonna try to rid of it because I'm desperate
I will try my hardest to eradicate the ailment because I'm anxious


Iniquity Rhymes, the multi multisyllable-ist
I'm Iniquity Rhymes, a rapper who uses multiple multisyllabic words in my rap


Boasting, suppose he's devoted to kill em a bit
I boast about how committed I am to crushing my rivals


A man is no true warrior without his battle
A man cannot be considered a genuine warrior without facing conflicts


So I beckon the scars to form, you can't judge without the gavel!
Thus, I urge my wounds to manifest; no one can pass judgement without an appropriate authority


I never knew I'd make a mark this large
I never anticipated that I would achieve such colossal success


An image that starts a spark of rage in their hearts
This image kindles fury in their hearts


Of constantly causing drama like love without a pause
Of repeatedly starting trouble just like a love affair that never takes a break


I can never catch a break with these long scars
These extensive scars have caused me to face one issue after another without a break


I can measure stacks of hate, brace, en garde!
I can quantify the amount of hatred I receive, so I prepare myself for it


And forever without error, I'll retake, this song's ours
I will always continue without fault, and this song belongs to me


Feel the pressure of my effort, the sky's withdrawn star
I feel the weight of my effort but continue, and the sky's most prominent star has disappeared


The treasure lies within mind, escape is long gone
The worthwhile treasure is within my thoughts, and escaping is no longer possible


But I swear to you, this game I'm about to make it mine
I promise you that success within this realm is imminent


Lacing my shoes, cause I refuse to fall behind
I am fastening my shoes since I will not be left behind


I cause triggers, when I step through these rap minds!
I provoke reactions as soon as I enter the thoughts of others in the rap community


Made 'em freeze, when they seen me come back like a cracked spine!
I am so impressive that I cause others to stand still when they notice me making a comeback


Ya lack shine! Flavors these good impact time!
You lack shine! The taste of my excellent work makes a memorable impact


Retract lies, haters seize your dispatched cries!
Stop spreading lies; haters have received the message of your defeat!


Know your sad man, but it happened and you're sat there!
You might feel pity for me, but the situation occurred, and now I am here


I see you contemplating your throne recovery, but that's mine!
I notice that you are considering taking back your position of power, but it is mine!


So deep, the only time of defeating me was to eat me alive
My skills are so formidable that the only way to defeat me would be to completely destroy me


Back when I was swimmin' to reach the finish line!
I struggled tremendously back when I was merely trying to finish something


Flip it off safe mode, I changed the reign to bullets
I stopped playing things safe and changed the game, making it deadlier like bullets


Hailing to this storm, as if I trained suicide, pull it!
I'm commanding the tempest as though it were mine to control, so bring it on!


Brew this, and sip it slow and swallow whole, I'm curing rap pollution
Slowly simmer this concoction, swallow it all, and heal the sickness that plagues rap music


I'm rap's Confucius, Apollo's hope, fixing world contusions
I'm rap's wise philosopher, Apollo's inspiration, mending the world's bruises


These scars are worldwide, but they help us grow high
Although the scars are ubiquitous, they assist in our growth and elevation


We are the bearers of our destinies, so go! Fly!
We carry our fate, so take off and fly towards your objective


Bearing the scars from it all
We bear the scars from our battles with everything we face

[Verse 1: Norad]
If I had to choice to go back and fix my mistakes
