Counting Scars Till Sunrise (версия 2)

Intro

Four a.m., the block still breathing slow

(Yeah)

Counting scars till sunrise, watch the numbers grow

Verse

Cracked knuckles on a cold steel gate

Fifth winter sleeping on a paper plate

Momma said the wolves come dressed like friends

I learned that lesson twice before the ending

Bodega light flickering like my odds

Kept a broken watch just to count the cost

Every scar a receipt for a lesson learned

Every block I walked was a bridge I burned

Wrote my name in ash where the trust ran out

Turned the doubt to fuel, let the engine shout

Empty pockets talking louder than my pride

Stitched my armor thick from the wounds inside

Never had a map, only had a pulse

Chased the sunrise like it owed me results

Now the scars line up like a constellation

Proof I built a throne out of hesitation

Chorus

Counting scars till sunrise, watch the numbers grow

Every mark's a mile marker, every step I know

Ain't no crown without the callus, ain't no light without the fight

Counting scars till sunrise, I'll be gone by morning light

Verse

Used to pray for shortcuts, found the long way home

Turned the static in my chest into a metronome

Every setback taught my hands to grip tighter

Every empty fridge made my vision brighter

Walked through fire wearing shoes with holes

Came out smelling like the gold I stole from cold

Counted debts like scripture, read 'em every night

Turned my liabilities into satellites

Now they asking how I flipped the script so fast

Tell 'em I just outlasted every hour that passed

Scar tissue thick where the softness used to live

Built a fortress out the things I couldn't forgive

Momma's kitchen table, that's where I learned math

Subtracting doubt, adding up the aftermath

Every bruise a syllable in a story still being told

I ain't chasing shadows, I'm becoming gold

Chorus

Counting scars till sunrise, watch the numbers grow

Every mark's a mile marker, every step I know

Ain't no crown without the callus, ain't no light without the fight

Counting scars till sunrise, I'll be gone by morning light

Bridge

Somewhere between the ache and the amen

I found the version of me that could win

Not the scars that broke me, the ones that woke me

Every wound just a witness, never spoke me

I'm not counting losses, I'm counting proof

Every callus on my palm is a receipt of truth

Outro

Sunrise coming, and I'm still standing tall

Every scar's a lesson, I remember them all

Counting scars till sunrise, that's the only way I know

Watch me turn the wreckage into gold
