Frank Alvin - Battle Scars Lyrics

Fly nigga, Independence Day, Will in a jet
I been doin soul searchin healthy spirit checks
I been grindin like Dave Mirra on a BMX
Mental battles mean I need to R E L A X
Southwest from OAK straight to LAX
Safe flight to see my family got me feelin blessed
My granny health got my pops wit undercover Stress
Through these bars I get a lot of shit up off my chest
My college loans got niggas in some debt
Every month
I gotta see that money
Come up out my check
Uncle Sam be on a nigga
Makin sure he don't forget
But I keep my shit together
Like some braids wit some Barrettes
I remember when I used to make
A mixtape wit cassettes
Now I'm makin sure
The music that I'm mixin be the best
The decisions that I've made
Be makin sure that I reflect
Everyday you get a choice
You intentionally select
I'm makin sure I collect
Investin in myself
Is how I get the biggest check
I need that ROI to come back to me heavyset
Whenever you address me
Make sure that it's wit respect
Just tryna keep it simple
We don't need to get complex
A little dedication
Help the money supplement
So when it amplify for me its not coincidence
The etiquette is proper
Always gotta come correct
And takin baby steps is better than not takin steps
I been stayin in my lane
I don't lane switch
Play my position
I been workin on my placement
Map it out
If it don't work rearrange it
They not gon' give it to you
So you gotta take it
Hungry and I'm humble
Stayin solid I don't crumble
Survivin in the jungle
Keep it pushin and continue bein patient
As I age I find a lot of peace wit havin less
Competition wit myself is always neck and neck
Dapper flow it's a lot of y'all that's underdressed
I always kept it sharp
I'm very starch and press
Get exactly what I put in is what I expect
To a lion sheep opinion never has effect
Workin out like gettin money
Its the same effect
Building like how lactic acid do wit extra sets
My blood, perseverance and my sweat
Be the reason my success
Don't ever need a second guess
Life a puzzle and Im makin sure
That every piece connect
Aint been busy playin checkers
Been too busy playin chess
I aint perfect but I try to get as close as I can get
I be slippin
I be fallin
Feelin like I'm DMX
I'm anointed
So its easy to deflect somebody hex
And I'm ten toes down
Nipsey throwin up the set
Nigga
UH
I been on a wave and I been surfin it up
Generate that fire I been burnin it up
Work ethic solid I been turnin it up
Gassin on the mic like I been burpin it up
I said
I been on a wave and I been surfin it up
Generate that fire I been burnin it up
Work ethic solid I been turnin it up
Gassin on the mic like I been burpin it up
I been stayin in my lane
I don't lane switch
Play my position
I been workin on my placement
Map it out
If it don't work Rearrange it
They not gon' give it to you
So you gotta take it
Hungry and I'm humble
Stayin solid I don't crumble
Survivin in the jungle
Keep it pushin and continue bein patient
Keep it pushin and continue bein patient
Keep it pushin and continue bein patient
Hungry and I'm humble
Stayin solid I won't crumble
Survivin in the jungle
Keep it pushin and continue bein patient
