Beautiful Scars
Kevin Gates Lyrics

You know what it is you know how we hittin'
We both know how we operate and what we're doing.

Just know that we alright
Be assured that we're okay.

Tatted your name now I don't know who you is
I marked my skin with your name, but now we're estranged and strangers to each other.

If I had to, I would do it again
Despite our differences, I would still take the same actions again.

My partner died but on my arm he still live
My friend passed away, but I still honor and remember him through my tattoo.

I wear my heart on my skin
I express my emotions and past experiences through my tattoos.

Can't forget where I been
I can't forget my past and the struggles I've overcome.

You gave me scars, beautiful scars
You caused me pain and left physical and emotional scars, but they've made me who I am now.

On my back and all, you see how far I come
Despite the challenges and scars, I've come a long way and made progress.

I'm out here going hard, might need to fuck with y'all
I'm working hard and succeeding, you might want to associate with me.

Whenever you talk to me, I would always listen
I used to value and listen to what you had to say.

Never nothing wrong, it was always beneficial
Our interactions were always positive and advantageous in some way.

Entertainment realm getting so superficial
The entertainment industry has become shallow and materialistic.

I was built for that pressure, I forgive you
I'm strong enough to handle the pressures and forgive you for any past wrongdoings.

All praise be to God, I'm official
I have faith in God and consider myself to be legitimate and authorized.

In the game going hard, I been miss you
I'm working hard and succeeding in my career, but I miss you.

Fucked up in the brain, got some issues
I'm struggling with mental health and have some problems.

Ice box where my heart used to be
I've become cold and unfeeling in response to heartbreak and betrayal.

Eskimo city, no feelings, I'ma igloo
I'm so emotionally numb and detached that I'm like an igloo in a city of ice.

Know I'm way farther than you thought I would be
I've achieved more than you might have expected.

Ball 'til we fall, one call come and get you
We'll continue working and succeeding together until we can't anymore, and I'm always available to help you out.

Got the bread dropped off when the rent due
I'll give you the money you need to pay your rent on time.

Hope you got that new car, that I sent you
I hope you received the new car I sent you.

If you didn't baby please forgive me
If I didn't send you the new car, I'm sorry.

'Cause I don't give a fuck if you don't
Because I don't care about your response or reaction.

Handle business how I handle business
I take care of my affairs in a particular way.

Violate you, gotta get the business
If you interfere or disrespect me, I'll take action against you.

I wanted to leave, I had a different vision
I had plans to move on and follow a different path.

Bad bitches wasn't tryna listen
Women didn't pay attention or give me a chance.

I was fucking on Kosha, off Concord in the apartment
I was having sex with someone named Kosha in an apartment on Concord Street.

And Reba tryna get my caught in
Someone named Reba was trying to cause trouble for me.

Left Easy Town, we in the park with it
I left a particular area and now we're in a different location engaging in certain activities.

Phil never 'ject me, what you talkin' about
Phil never rejected me, I don't know what you're talking about.

Bought a two and a quarter, in the middle of a drought
I purchased a particular amount of something during a dry or difficult time.

And lost fourteen grams and he swap me out
I lost a certain amount of something and someone switched it with something else.

Ain't nothing really else to talk about
There's nothing else of significance to discuss.

I'm the one you get the green from
I'm the one you purchase drugs from.

I used to front it when you need somethin'
I would lend you money even if you couldn't pay it back right away.

I'm on bail, fat lips in legion
I'm currently out on bail and have injuries on my lips from a particular place called Legion.

Used to come and get the lean from
You used to come to me to buy a certain type of drug.

I remember when being a stand up guy
I recall a time when it was important to be a decent and honest person.

Used to mean somethin'
It used to hold value and significance.
