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
