Nino Bless - Open Wounds lyrics

rate me

Out of sight, out of mind

Out of time to decide

Do we run? Should I hide?

For the rest of my life

Can we fly? Do I stay?

We could lose, we could fail

In the moment it takes

To make plans or mistakes

Mama, papa, forgive me

Mama, papa, forgive me for the constant sinning

All the problems, the dealings

But the block was appealing

It was blocking my ceiling

No college, not willing to get polished

I was really feeling down

Now I’m healing, slow progress

Rap beats are beginning, my silence is fitting

I never had no problems with admitting when I’m stumped

My life’s a whirlwind in a storm that skipped the calm

Yeah, you know where I’m from

Now that the picture is drawn, don’t get your facts wrong

I used to front like I got my trap on

Didn’t even realized as time passed I became that character

Before I put that act on like the black swan

Did life pass wrong? Maybe, problem, Mercedes, hotties

We’re crazy, golly; in my mind my composure is spotty

Every day label to lady but I’m closer to my shorty

But traits’ my life design, change the image from the frame

Outta sight, outta mind,

You know the cycle, you lose one and gain some

…caught them, ease them, place you can’t intertwine

And back to faze one, it’s like Looper

Your choice, better make one

You chose, but make none, your fate’s done

My slum need a bottom man like a base drum

Raise the stakes I made mistakes but my pain’s numb

Why? ‘Cause I faced them

I face my mistakes, yeah, they tell me all the time

Just let them heal slow, but I don’t pay them mind

I even let them show

Where do I go, maybe I know, maybe I don’t

Yeah, open wounds, gotta strive,

Gotta try stay straight on my road

While I’m closing, closing these open wounds

Yeah, I look around at what happened here

Trapped in this atmosphere, just hoping that some cracks appear

Got some homies on lockdown these last few years

Seen a best friend get shot down like some bad idea

My path ain’t clear, I’m fucking boxed in

I’m wish bone, no offence, I’m running out of options

Friends will hate to your back, their faking, they clapping

Watch them close, they be acting shady like …

I’m playing possum, I bait them at the end of …

And real will recognize itself while you were in disguise, fuck them

Everybody’s right to the dot, their lives in a line

And they’re like ‘why would I ride? I’d rather not die for nothing’

No discussion, the clock is ticking, I honestly think my target is me

I’m probably my only competition

From poverty stricken to rivalries pitching

Something was constantly gutting me, God, my conscience is vigilant

I face my mistakes, yeah, they tell me all the time

Just let them heal slow, but I don’t pay them mind

I even let them show

Where do I go, maybe I know, maybe I don’t

Yeah, open wounds, can I finally close them?

And I’m hoping soon, I pray and hope this wound

Before they close us in this tomb

I’m so in tuned with what others do

It’s hard for me to fucking move

Don’t care if it sucks to lose

Stuck in a net, searching for nothing

I need to stop this, all we see we gossip

Don’t care about us, they all read and watching

Peeping at us, they use methods of detail

You know Beyonce’s daughter name, who invented the email?

Shit, I’ve been poisoned with the apple, too

Moving on, I’m Kubla Khan, I’ll find my Xanadu

Days pass, they say time heals all wounds

But I’m still picking at my scabs

Fell to a swamp then I woke up in hell, no

Inhale, exhale, the breathe I press through my fails

And I excel, now look here mama, your kid’s not a doctor

Rather than be my father, I was glued to Big Papa

But that’s ok, I know you’re sad, I go console you soon

I wonder if this song’s for me or you, open wounds
