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
