(Verse 1 – Country) Seven years old on the porch in the dark Red-blue lights paint a hole in my heart Mama in cuffs, Daddy already gone I learned real young how to pretend I’m strong Couch to couch, never had my own bed Kept my shoes by the door and my feelings half-dead Hid in the pages where the heroes don’t leave Whispered, “One day that’s gonna be me” (Chorus – Country/Rap) I was born in the crack where the pain runs deep Carried that seven-year-old boy in my sleep But pain tells the truth, shame tells the lie I finally spoke it and watched that kid stop cryin’ I don’t run from the hurt, I run through the flame Turn a broke little life into a wide-open lane Yeah the scar’s still there, but the story got changed I tell the truth now and I’m never the same (Verse 2 – Rap) Track was my church, spikes on my feet Every stride said, “Boy, you ain’t beat” Letters came thick, future looked bright Till my knee blew out on a Saturday night Scholarship ghosted, coaches went cold Dream turned dust in a story retold Warehouse nights, ice on the joint Sittin’ in the truck wonderin’ what’s the point (Verse 3 – Country) Old man Ray with the keys and the mop Found me starin’ at nothin’, told me, “Boy, don’t stop” Said, “Write what hurts, don’t pretty it up Let the ink bleed truth till you fill that cup” So I wrote Mama leavin’, wrote the sound of the tear Wrote the silence that taught me love disappears Wrote the pop in my knee and the scream in my head Till the page held the weight I’d been carryin’ instead (Chorus – Country/Rap) I was born in the crack where the pain runs deep Carried that seven-year-old boy in my sleep But pain tells the truth, shame tells the lie I finally spoke it and watched that kid stop cryin’ I don’t run from the hurt, I run through the flame Turn a broke little life into a wide-open lane Yeah the scar’s still there, but the story got changed I tell the truth now and I’m never the same (Bridge – Half-spoken, half-sung) Sirens still flinch me, trust still feels thin But I don’t let shame write the places I’ve been I speak it out loud, let the room hold the weight Watch the past lose power every time I relate (Final Chorus – Full voice) I was born in the crack, now I walk in the light That scared little kid finally sleeps through the night Pain was the teacher, truth was the key The man in the mirror finally looks like me I don’t hide the hurt, I let it explain How a broken-home boy learned to carry his name Every true word is a step outta chains I tell my real story and I’m never the same (Outro – Soft) Never the same… Yeah, I tell the truth now And I’m never the same.
Lyrics
Seven years old on the porch in the dark
Red-blue lights paint a hole in my heart
Mama in cuffs, Daddy already gone
I learned real young how to pretend I’m strong
Couch to couch, never had my own bed
Kept my shoes by the door and my feelings half-dead
Hid in the pages where the heroes don’t leave
Whispered, “One day that’s gonna be me”
I was born in the crack where the pain runs deep
Carried that seven-year-old boy in my sleep
But pain tells the truth, shame tells the lie
I finally spoke it and watched that kid stop cryin’
I don’t run from the hurt, I run through the flame
Turn a broke little life into a wide-open lane
Yeah the scar’s still there, but the story got changed
I tell the truth now and I’m never the same
Track was my church, spikes on my feet
Every stride said, “Boy, you ain’t beat”
Letters came thick, future looked bright
Till my knee blew out on a Saturday night
Scholarship ghosted, coaches went cold
Dream turned dust in a story retold
Warehouse nights, ice on the joint
Sittin’ in the truck wonderin’ what’s the point
Old man Ray with the keys and the mop
Found me starin’ at nothin’, told me, “Boy, don’t stop”
Said, “Write what hurts, don’t pretty it up
Let the ink bleed truth till you fill that cup”
So I wrote Mama leavin’, wrote the sound of the tear
Wrote the silence that taught me love disappears
Wrote the pop in my knee and the scream in my head
Till the page held the weight I’d been carryin’ instead
I was born in the crack where the pain runs deep
Carried that seven-year-old boy in my sleep
But pain tells the truth, shame tells the lie
I finally spoke it and watched that kid stop cryin’
I don’t run from the hurt, I run through the flame
Turn a broke little life into a wide-open lane
Yeah the scar’s still there, but the story got changed
I tell the truth now and I’m never the same
Sirens still flinch me, trust still feels thin
But I don’t let shame write the places I’ve been
I speak it out loud, let the room hold the weight
Watch the past lose power every time I relate
I was born in the crack, now I walk in the light
That scared little kid finally sleeps through the night
Pain was the teacher, truth was the key
The man in the mirror finally looks like me
I don’t hide the hurt, I let it explain
How a broken-home boy learned to carry his name
Every true word is a step outta chains
I tell my real story and I’m never the sameNever the same…
Yeah, I tell the truth now
And I’m never the same.
