Iron in my spine 2 (versione 2)

Intro

Same porch light on the corner, same four walls I grew in

Verse

Pops said every scar is a story I ain't never told

Kept a map of 'em written out with every single fold

Grandma taught me how to read the lines before I learned my ABCs

Said it's not what happens but who you learn to be when they go

Pre-Chorus

So which one's the truth? The one on my skin or the one I keep?

Is this a battle worth fighting or just something to sleep?

Chorus

Iron in my spine, iron in my veins

Every scar tells two stories, but it ain't never changed my name

I don't need no proof of where I've been

Every mark is a story waiting to be learned again

Verse

Cousin took the fall for me when I was still a kid

Paid his debt so I wouldn't have one to carry on my lid

Momma said you can't let it break but sometimes it's hard to hold on

Said maybe that's just what the scars are supposed to do, right?

Pre-Chorus

So which one's the truth? The one on my skin or the one I keep?

Is this a battle worth fighting or just something to sleep?

Chorus

Iron in my spine, iron in my veins

Every scar tells two stories, but it ain't never changed my name

I don't need no proof of where I've been

Every mark is a story waiting to be learned again

Bridge

It's not the scars that make me who I am

It's how many more I'm willing to take on for my fam

Every one I earn is just a reminder of what it took to survive this block

And when they finally let us go, we'll walk out with our heads held high

Chorus

Iron in my spine, iron in my veins

Every scar tells two stories, but it ain't never changed my name

I don't need no proof of where I've been

Every mark is a story waiting to be learned again
