Lyrics Written By:
Billy Alsbrooks
Bleeding on the music writing from some deep wounds
Wrestling with past demons and my own truth
Emptied the whole clip Travis on the morning news
You saved my life buddy I’m gonna miss you
Product of the struggle pain in every word I write
Born in Alabama all we know is how to fight
Been in the studio 31 straights night
In Tiffany’s car trying to see if the mix is right
Buried too many loved ones it’s all a blur
Got divorced a few years ago it really hurt
Blamed myself felt guilty that it didn’t work
But I’m gonna give my new woman the man she deserves
Richard hung himself why he had to kill himself
Most of the real damage we do to ourselves
Emotional cell fake smile you can tell
That Unforgiveness got me living in my own jail
——
Bridge:
These scars aren’t shame—they’re scripture
You can never fail when the man upstairs is with ya
Live life buddy
Don’t let the fears live you
Just got learn how to play the hand that life gives you
Every scar another chapter write your story
Everything we overcome we bringing God glory
Keep knocking on the door til they can’t ignore you
Your pain is a sermon now let it speak for you
Hurt and desperate still lost trying to find myself
Dying inside but too proud to ask for help
Daddy used to drink so momma paid the bills herself
Ain’t had no Dr. Dre had to learn to grind myself
My Life full of almost and rap star drama
Just wanna make daddy proud and represent my momma
If you gonna make a mistake son make it full throttle
God knows I made plenty of’em
And a bunch of models
Been struggling for years wondering if I’ll ever make it
Sometimes I wanna quit lay down and let’em take it
It’s been a long hard road is what I’m really saying
But what a testimony for God if Billy make it
——-
Life is just a long conversation with yourself
Who are you when you’re alone all by yourself
How much of Billy is Billy got to be myself
Ain’t nothing gonna change until i first go change myself
I got a million fans who follow stream and listen
But that don’t really know me they love me from a distance
Inside never satisfied something in me missing
I’m On my knees every night praying Lord fix me
Hadn’t had a win in years feel like I’m cursed
Over time these scars have only gotten worse
Every rejection letter still stings and hurts
But God still moves
Like it says on my shirt
