Intro
Woke up with the lines still burning under the skin Fingers tracing what the city wrote in
Verse 1
Left arm got the alley off 79th where the chain snapped and the ground came up fast Right shoulder holds the fence on 12th the side where the lights hit and the slide turned slick Chest carries the night the block chose sides two cousins one choice the scar stayed when the friendship died Leg remembers the dash from the corner store to the bus when the sirens made the whole street hush Back got the one from the I-95 overpass where the run went long and the breath ran out fast Hand got the glass from the window that broke when the argument turned into something that lasted Wrist got the scar from the night TJ flu from the corner store and the man knew it to Neck got the yank from the chain that got pulled when the crowd got thick and the panic set in to
Chorus
Every scar got a cross street Every mark got a corner where it happened Every line on the skin got a name Every scar got a cross street
Verse 2
Now the map is fading but the corners still call One scar from the love that turned into a brawl One from the job that paid but took the back One from the night the whole crew went black One from the court date that ended with a plea One from the porch where the old head schooled me One from the hospital hallway when the news hit wrong One from the mirror when I finally saw what I become One from the gym when the weights got heavy and the mind got light One from the parking lot when the talk turned fight
Chorus
Every scar got a cross street Every mark got a corner where it happened Every line on the skin got a name Every scar got a cross street
Bridge
This body ain't a temple It's a record of the routes I took Some exits I chose Some corners I got pushed The map don't lie Even when the ink fades
Chorus
Every scar got a cross street Every mark got a corner where it happened Every line on the skin got a name Every scar got a cross street
Outro
Every scar got a cross street
