lyrics
Verse 1:
Who needs skin when your soul bleeds, huh
How can you sin when you don’t believe, tell me
Yo am I crazy ‘cuz I’m walking, by myself I’m talking
Arrogance is at its peak even God couldn’t stop me
But truthfully, I’m feeling like he is on my side
Honestly without him I don’t think I could survive
Got so comfortable, it’s so easy for me to lie
So emotionless, it’s so hard for me to cry
Until I saw this black queen sleeping
Behind a trash can, by herself, alone dreaming
I starting screaming, recognized the face of that woman right there
Somebody’s mom homeless, I had to drop a tear
My mommy
Chorus:
My skin is like a map, where my heart has been
(I had to drop a tear)
And I can’t hide the marks, it’s not a negative thing
(Late Night Walk)
So I let down my guard, drop my defenses, down by my clothes
(Come on, Come on)
I'm learning to fall, with no safety net, to cushion the blow
(I, Yea)
Verse 2:
How can you see ( C ) when you won’t be ( B )
Who need feet when you won’t flee
They say it’s easy to quit and I say that’s bullshit
Especially when you try and try but it’s not working
But you love, you had plans for the future
You thought you found gold so its hard to picture losing her
But you keep on bruising her, and you know it’s true
You wasted her time, know she deserves better than you
My baby
Chorus:
My skin is like a map, where my heart has been
(I had to drop a tear)
And I can’t hide the marks, it’s not a negative thing
(I’m sorry)
So I let down my guard, drop my defenses, down by my clothes
(Come on, Come on)
I'm learning to fall, with no safety net, to cushion the blow
(I, Yea)
Bridge:
I bruise easily, so be gentle when you handle me
There's a mark you leave, like a love heart carved on a tree
I bruise easily, can't scratch the surface without moving me
Underneath
I bruise easily, I bruise easily
Verse 3:
How can you win when you’re scared to lose
You miss life when you don’t choose
Never do what they do, roots crew told me so
Quit a million times in my head and y’all never know
I told her baby let me go, I’m going places you can’t come
Got time for one girl and I’m sorry you not the one
The time has come, Survey says that I gotta be alone
I know it’s kind of hidden but the respect is shown
