Felt Scars

Oh-oh, oh-oh…

Yeah, yeah…

Sometimes I wonder if my life gon’ change,

Smiling on the outside,

inside I’m feeling pain.

Lil’ bro, I hope you make it further than me…

I just want you to become everything I couldn’t be.

I wanna see my little brother succeed,

Give him everything he wants,

everything he needs. I never graduated,

got some dreams I couldn’t chase,

I’m just tryna make my family smile before it’s too late.

And I know life ain’t easy,

we got problems every day,

Sometimes I wanna give up,

but I know I gotta pray.

Lil’ bro, if I fall,

promise you’ll stand tall,

Even when the world gets cold,

you can always make that call.

I got so much on my mind,

I don’t know where to start,

I’ve been fighting all these battles with a broken heart.

Everybody got opinions, but they never know the pain,

They don’t see me in my room when I’m standing in the

rain. I remember having dreams when I was younger,

Now I’m getting older,

and the pressure getting stronger.

Mama wants the best for me,

I see it in her eyes,

So I tell her I’m okay,

even when I’m not alright.

Lil’ brother, listen closely,

let me tell you something real,

Life will put you through some things that you don’t know how

to feel. Don’t let anybody tell you that your dreams are out

of reach, I might never wear that gown,

but I want you to succeed.

I wanna see my little brother succeed,

Give him everything he wants,

everything he needs. I never graduated,

got some dreams I couldn’t chase,

I’m just tryna make my family smile before it’s too late.

And I know life ain’t easy,

we got problems every day,

Sometimes I wanna give up,

but I know I gotta pray.

Lil’ bro, if I fall,

promise you’ll stand tall,

Even when the world gets cold,

you can always make that call.

Sometimes I sit alone and think about my future,

Wonder if I’ll make it or become another loser.

I don’t want my little brother walking in my shoes,

I want him chasing dreams,

with nothing left to prove.

If I never make it big,

I hope he understands,

I was doing everything I could with these two empty hands.

I got dreams of buying Mama a house up on the hill,

Telling her to quit her job,

let me pay the bills.

And if the road gets difficult,

don’t ever lose your faith,

Every flower takes its time before it blooms one day.

I might not have the answers,

but I’m learning as I go,

And I’ll always be your brother,

that’s one thing you should know.

Oh, lil’ brother, don’t you cry… Spread your wings and touch the

sky. If I never reach my dreams,

Promise you’ll reach yours for me.

Oh-oh, for me…

Do it for the family… Even if the world can’t see,

You can be what I couldn’t be.

I wanna see my little brother succeed,

Give him everything he wants,

everything he needs. I never graduated,

got some dreams I couldn’t chase,

I’m just tryna make my family smile before it’s too late.

Lil’ bro, keep going,

let them see you shine,

One day you’ll look back and say,

“We made it through the hard times.” And if I never get

to see the day you spread your wings,

Just remember that I loved you more than all these things.

Yeah… Lil’ bro, this one’s for you.

💔 I might not have it all figured out…

But I pray you make it further than I ever could.

Yeah…

further than me.
