Earned

Chip on my shoulder never at rest Rest Getting things off my chest Telling things like it is List of who I can't forgive Cutting people ain’t a loss It ain't The broken pieces grew a boss Outta the lessons I’ve learned My forgiveness is earned Chip on my shoulder never at rest Rest Getting things off my chest Yeah Telling things like it is List of who I can't forgive Cutting people ain’t a loss It ain't The broken pieces grew a boss Outta the lessons I’ve learned My forgiveness is earned I got foes But I don’t fold Can name two who were down And twenty that let me drown Do the math That’s one to ten It should have been a sin How you fail me again Huh Betrayed through it all Through it all I had to take the fall Thinking they would go to bat for me They don't Whole time they was plotting against me Funny, you didn’t even check on me Dare I call out the names They’d be so embarrassed and ashamed Ashamed What happens behind closed doors Thinking of bringing it to light Let me bring it to the light Shit, I just might I just might They claiming to be real And turned out to be painted fakes I saw them turn green It’s them I had to shake Crazy I’d do it all over again if I could To prove I’m still here And I’m still good To prove I'm still here and I'm still good, look Chip on my shoulder never at rest Rest Getting things off my chest Telling things like it is List of who I can't forgive Cutting people ain’t a loss It ain't The broken pieces grew a boss Outta the lessons I’ve learned My forgiveness is earned Chip on my shoulder never at rest Rest Getting things off my chest Yeah Telling things like it is List of who I can't forgive Cutting people ain’t a loss It ain't The broken pieces grew a boss Outta the lessons I’ve learned My forgiveness is earned Forgiveness is earned Things I had to learn I had to Haven’t spoke about this in years Wiping my reflections tears Hope I’m making this very clear To myself I didn’t stay true Myself was scary to lose Lot of things I wish I could undo Listen Misery loves company And it made me weak From it I had to flee Broke away now I’m free Don’t bring that shit around me Don't bring it I was the only one to have my back That’s all I needed Took me a while to believe it Had a talk with the old me Like what was you thinking I became the new me And saw things different I'm different Had to make decisions that hurt But I buried that pain in the dirt I picked up pieces No one else was around They let me down Damn This writing and pen became my only friends This outlet got me making self amends We all got a story We gotta go through And grow through Don't take it personal I gotta forgive myself too Chip on my shoulder never at rest Rest Getting things off my chest Telling things like it is List of who I can't forgive Cutting people ain’t a loss It ain't The broken pieces grew a boss Outta the lessons I’ve learned My forgiveness is earned Chip on my shoulder never at rest Rest Getting things off my chest Yeah Telling things like it is List of who I can't forgive Cutting people ain’t a loss It ain't The broken pieces grew a boss Outta the lessons I’ve learned My forgiveness is earned
