Rough, Saigon - Scarred 4 Life songtext (lyrics)

Saigon: This nigga Rough used to
Always come talk about
His deadbeat dad like he the only one that
Had one and shit you
Crazy-ass nigga fuck him
Nigga fuck it tell ‘em ‘bout it, then, nigga
Rough: Screw that oh
You don’t wanna talk to me? Bring me
Here? Now you just wanna leave?

Can’t tell me a reason for leaving
No hug or nothing just walking out
One finger silencing me
Nothing to talk about
Neglection, indirectly showed me how
To be a man ‘Til this day
Gave me no reason to try and understand
More than likely
You’re the cause of mommy’s hatred for man
Leaving me to choose between
School and bubbling grams


What kind of guidance was that?
Scarred me for life
Ma saying you love us, she denying the fact
Before I decided to rap
That’s what stuck in my cap
A kid’s childhood is something they
Can never get back
Out of anything in the world
This is all that I ask:
Don’t feed me to the wolves or throw me away
How could I make it in this world
If you don’t show me the way?
Walking past me on the streets
Having nothing to say
Toying with people’s feelings a
Game you shouldn’t play
You wants to hold it down without
Eventually running away i’m like:

I thought you loved me hurt me for nothing
It’s like you slugged me
Put me through pain and suffering
Son without a dad, wife with no husband
Scarred for life with no
Intentions of trusting

And my generation was eighty
Percent born with addiction
Twenty percent don’t listen
Ten pack and 40 spitting
Remainding thirty is pitching any way you
Put it or take it
Best believe somebody tricked ‘em
Government send drugs to the hood
As an invite to prison turn around
Lock one of us up like they made a difference
When playgrounds and daycare centers
That’s what we’re missing
Along with employment availability
College tuition that’s why the majority of
Us blooding and cripping
Instead of becoming Muslims, gods
Sunnis and Christians
In order to get the point across
My team put me in a
Position who don’t get it, shut up and listen
All we knew is: "Soldiers
Stand firm and play your position"
Want to live life to the fullest
Three-quarters of us can’t go the distance
Am I lying? Naw, I’m just being true
You was never there for me
So I did what I had to do
Put the weight on mommy’s shoulders
But what I really wanted to ask you
Put the weight on mommy’s shoulders
But what I really wanted to ask you:

I thought you loved me hurt me for nothing
It’s like you slugged me
Put me through pain and suffering
Son without a dad, wife with no husband
Scarred for life with no
Intentions of trusting

Family, friends
And foes there to witness your last
Family and friends mourn while the
Foes bicker and laugh
Ma dukes still in your corner
Though she know you was bad
Win or lose, when it blew
You was all that she had
Played two roles as a parent:
The mom and the dad can you imagine how her
And problems must’ve clashed?
Probably be alive today if you
Wasn’t so fast they say
"The good die young and the bad die last"
Wanna question which one of you i’m like
"Why should I ask?"
Pastor preached at your service
Like never before mom’s crying
Realizing she won’t see you no more
This the first time I seen you
Since you reached for the door
Who would think my help for you
Would put you six feet?
What goes around comes around yeah
That much is true
You was never there for me
So I did what I had to do
Put the weight on my mommy’s shoulders
But what I really wanted to ask you:

I thought you loved me hurt me for nothing
It’s like you slugged me
Put me through pain and suffering
Son without a dad, wife with no husband
Scarred for life with no
Intentions of trusting

If you was alive, I’d still feel like
"Why would you bother?" I got a mother
Never had a father
If you was alive, I’d still feel like
"Why should you bother?" I got a mother
Never had a father
If you was alive, I’d still feel like
"Why should you bother?" I got a mother
Never had a father
Yeah, you start that sad shit, man why?
You always did that sad shit
Man i used to be sitting there and he looking
At me, look at me in the face now
I’m looking at the nigga i’m like, I’m like
"Man, get over that shit, man"
