Tattoos In Heaven

I had someone tell me they don't allow tattoos in heaven Well I'd rather be rejected for being me, than be a fake reverend I've been dragged through hell and have the scars So I really don't care if they don't allow tattoos in heaven Never seeked acceptance, I was fine being left out Mistreated cause I was raised in care Been alone, afraid and scared Got lost while walking alone, but I found the next route Had a few scuffles Walked through the storm gained scars I've grown from my mistakes but have the same scars I'm not even mad at my struggle Looked at as a criminal cause I wear hoodies Tattoos on show and you feel the need to judge me They're part of my story, so if I get to the heaven gates and I'm rejected Just know I'll look god in his eyes, and tell him this is why we were never connected Some of you will find that blasphemous I speak for myself, I'm not your advocate Found inner strength, cause no one would help me when I was lacking it Got a damaged heart, but you'll never accept anyone, if you want a heart that's immaculate Because I wear hoodies and have tattoos they think I'm some kind of thug They won't get to know me, but they have the time to judge Just cause I listen to Hip Hop, doesn't mean I carry Knives and Guns Because I wear hoodies and have tattoos, they label me a thug

Exactly, it's always the ones with tattoos or piercings, or dyed hair, or whatever it is, but most of the nicest people I've met have tattoos and piercings
