tattoo. (feat. Kxng Rxme) Video (MV)

You wear it on your skin
Tattoo
They ain't been where you've been
Tattoo
You took a walk through Eden and you ate from the tree
Now you got Pandora's Box written all on your sleeve
All they can see is the story that's been told by your scars
And all your trauma they can't see you for the flower you are
But we won't let 'em hold you down or put you back in the box
Tell em unlock your hands but keep their hands out your locs
We taking it back, your tattoo is your story to tell
Let 'em that this is your life they can't have it to wear
Press your flower between the pages
Of the ages
Hope to save it
But when you pick up where you left off it's changed it's
Something else
Like yourself
Moved a star to hide the truth
Took you far from what you knew
Run to your dreams
Stacked the cards and let you choose now you're
Left with scars you can't remove
The hurt is
Permanent
Ink their sins on your skin trapped you in
What the sun gave taught you only one may survive
Come undone deep inside
Whole life riding on this tattoo
(On this tattoo on this tattoo)
Don't you know you're whole life riding on this tattoo
(On this tattoo on this tattoo)
Can't you feel your whole life riding on this tattoo
(Play by their rules all you do is lose)
Got to know your whole life riding on this tattoo
Feels like Shibuya
We're lost in the future
Used as a muse
For all our abusers
The past is a tumor
Fed by a rumor
Comparing our hues
But black's always smoother
That's
Permanent
Ink their sins on your skin trapped you in
What the sun gave taught you only one may survive
Tears keep you moisturized
Moving like your whole life riding on this tattoo
(On this tattoo on this tattoo)
Gotta know know you're whole life riding on this tattoo
(On this tattoo)
Whole life riding on this tattoo
(Play by their rules all you do is lose)
Don't you know your whole life riding on this tattoo
Press your flower between the pages
Of the ages
Hope to save it
But when you pick up where you left off it's changed it's
Something else
Like yourself
Covered from head to toe in designs so divine but the meaning has bled
How far we've been misled
Art etched onto your flesh
Don't you know your whole life riding on this tattoo
Gotta know know you're whole life riding on this tattoo
Got to know your whole life riding on this tattoo
Your whole life riding on this tattoo
