Wounds of Wisdom

[Verse] Heartbreak, what’s a man to do, walls closing in, felt the noose Trapped in my mind, truth sliced like a guillotine, sharp and loose Tears mix with sweat, the hustle never waits, but gets confused Streetlights cast shadows, demons in the grooves [Verse 2] No squares in my circle, trust a rare gem, shattered trust Life’s roulette wheel, spinning with no aim, hearts combust Mic becomes my therapist, lyrics just a crutch, heavy gusts Navigating storms, cruiser in the dark, off the cusp [Chorus] No allergies to pain, carry scars with pride Ink on my veins, stories tattooed, no place to hide Speakers blast the truth, rhythm in my stride Run these streets forever, love and let it ride [Verse 3] Family bonds, knotted with knots, tangled memories Scars on my psyche, notches on the tree, whispered symphony Facades fall away, lone wolf howl, echoes in the galaxy Blood, sweat, tears, currency of legacy [Verse 4] Momma taught survival, no silver spoon, just common sense Pops left early, shadowed footsteps, no defense Rhymes my inheritance, building bricks, no pretense Eyes on the prize, rose from the trench, immense [Chorus] No allergies to pain, carry scars with pride Ink on my veins, stories tattooed, no place to hide Speakers blast the truth, rhythm in my stride Run these streets forever, love and let it ride
