Hook (repeatable, chant-ready) Every scar a scripture, read it in my skin, Bible of the battlefield, every loss I’m in. No fairy-tale faith, just the truth I lived— If you wanna know my God, look what He forgives. Every scar a scripture, written when I bled, Margins full of monsters, every word I said. I don’t preach perfection, I don’t pose or pose— I testify in knuckles, broken ribs, and roads. Verse 1 I learned early hope don’t come with a receipt, You pay up front in hunger, in your sleep, in your teeth. Moments when the ceiling felt closer than the sky, When prayers came out sideways just to see if they’d fly. They told me “trust the process,” I trusted my fists, Trusted scars on my back more than promises. Every lesson came wrapped in a loss I survived, Every win tasted bitter, still I swallowed my pride. I ain’t holy, I’m honest—there’s a difference, I swear, My halo’s bent metal from the fights I been there. I don’t talk about angels unless they throw hands, Mine showed up bleeding, said “Stand up, man.” I been broke with a vision, rich with regret, Paid interest on trauma I ain’t finished yet. But if pain is a language, I speak it fluent, And my body’s a book they can’t ruin. Hook Every scar a scripture, read it in my skin, Bible of the battlefield, every loss I’m in.

I don’t preach perfection, I don’t pose or pose— I testify in knuckles, broken ribs, and roads. Verse 2 I done kneeled on concrete colder than doubt, Asking heaven real quiet what this life’s about. Got no answer back, just a dawn and a bruise, So I figured maybe faith is what you refuse to lose. I kept walking when quitting felt cheaper than breath, Carried hope like contraband past the border of death. Every scar got a timestamp, a place, and a name, Some of ‘em healed crooked, still they tell it the same. They say “time heals wounds,” that’s a half-truth at best, Time just teaches pain how to put on a dress. You still feel it when the weather hits your bones, When silence starts sounding like an old dial tone. I ain’t proud of the blood, but I honor the fight, Honor every dark hour that taught me to write My own code, my own law, my own measure of man— I ain’t blessed by the book, I’m blessed that I stand.

Verse 3 They sell salvation clean, shrink-wrapped and light, I met mine in the gutter arguing with the night. It said “Live or don’t—but don’t lie about the cost,” And I signed that deal with everything I lost. I been betrayed by blood, forgiven by strangers, Learned love sometimes look just like danger. Every scar a map where I took the wrong turn, Still it led me somewhere I needed to learn. I don’t flex success, I flex survival, I ain’t chosen—I’m stubborn, there’s a difference, tribal. This ain’t victory music, this endurance rap, The sound of a spine that refused to snap. When they read my story, don’t clean up the mess, Leave the stains in the margins, that’s the whole text. ‘Cause the truth don’t shine if it never got hit— And the light don’t mean nothin’ if it never been split. Final Hook (half-time, crowd call-and-response) Every scar a scripture—say it if you lived it, Every loss a lesson, every wound a sentence. I don’t need forgiveness from a perfect mouth— I found God in the fight, in the crawl, in the drought. Every scar a scripture, I don’t hide the page, This ain’t pretty faith—it’s a warrior’s age. Read me right, read me slow, read me true— This book don’t end clean… but it made it through.
