beautiful scars

Will Smith

Fly as a eagle, fresh outta Philly
Yeah, I still rep the city
Mirrors on the wall worth half a billi
Cause I m a icon, somebody you could base your life on
That you should place your sights on
Shot on Canons and Nikons
Turn the cameras and lights on, I been about the action
Master actor, I still rap, feel like Mike
When they turn the mic on
And I got will until the wheels fall off
That s just the will I am, my willpower
Got these cowards sayin
Goddamn (Goddamn) , he just won t quit
Won t fold and won t switch, I wrote the code, I m Mr. Smith
Cause this is the matrix, this is my regular basis
I am ahead of you players
I m playing my aces, every card with the faces
I am a king with a queen reign
And suprem? been through the rain
Mud on my feet, tracks in the street, fame can b? steep
Mask off, see my face ain t clean
Did my dirt, made it hurt worse
Went to church feeling cursed, worked
On myself, Kintsugi first
Couldn t tell I ve been through Hell on Earth
The truth and it burns, you live and you learn
Oh, I m like Confucius, life is confusing
I hate when I lose it, but I face the music
Oh, why did he do it? See, I m only human

It s the beautiful scars, yeah
It s the beautiful flaws, yeah
I done fell about a million times
Now I rise up again closer to God
It s the beautiful scars, yeah
It s the beautiful flaws, yeah
I done fell about a million times (Yeah, woah)
Now I rise up again closer to God (Woah)

When you keep it G and beat the odds
That s what you call gods
Closer to God like I m in the synagogue
I had to quit trippin over shit
That isn t worth the fall, you know
Back against the wall, my whole life a work of art (Boi)
Younger me would blame everybody else like it s they fault
Til you realize you a walkin magnet, so you the cause
What s your vibration? (What?)
Uh, how you pour back in yourself?
Yeah, what s your libation, hydration?
A lot of advice I m not takin
Gotta take this with a grain of salt
Just like any recipe on how to make it, look
It s Mr. Anderson and Mr. Smith, we done coded the codes
I got tired of bein over-controlled
Learnin as I go, learnin as I grow
I don t gotta do this shit over and o
Quit askin me dumb shit, you know what you know
It ain t the end if I don t get the credit
I m a livin legend
I ma live and die a legend
I ain t tryna get it, bitch, I gotta get it

It s the beautiful scars, yeah (Ayy, yeah)
It s the beautiful flaws, yeah (Yeah)

There are no limits, ascend through the universe
I believe in me like it s religion
But I am the only one who converts
Conversations with the congregation
The scripture is in the verse
I manifest through my mentality, the only real is my reality
I rebuild with the broken pieces
That are shattered on the floor
I am healed by the deepest teachings
That were given by the Moors
The codes are my lineage, I be around for another millennium
Climbin the ladder to Heaven on helium
Seein the sufferin , dreamin and healin em
You are the one in a million, billion
You are the answer, you are the power, you are the principle
Every second that you re livin is pivotal
Anything that s broken is remixable
Even when it s not physical
You are not alone, trust the invisible
Ancestors flex, winnin is critical
Top of the pyramids, I am the pinnacle

It s the beautiful scars, yeah (Yeah)
It s the beautiful flaws, yeah (Yeah)
I done fell about a million times
Now I rise up again closer to God
It s the beautiful scars, yeah (Yeah)
It s the beautiful flaws, yeah (Yeah)
I done fell about a million times
Now I rise up again closer to God
