Lyrics - 'Scars'
Yeah, He's a walkin'(walkin')
Talkin' (talkin')
Livin' Regret
I wish I never met him, Never slept with him
Never involved myself
If I would have known better
I would never stayed together witchu
He wrong, so I'm gone and I ain't comin' back
Wish I could be vindictive cause I wanna hurt him back
He wrong, so I'm gone and I ain't comin' back
Wish I could inflict something cause' I just wanna hurt him back
And I'mma make sure I'm drop-dead gorgeous every time he see me
So he want it more, more
And I'mma make sure everything is successful let him know he
F*cked around and left the best he had
He's stuck in his ego
He lost when he let me go
I was arguably the best thing that happened to him
He Know
What I gave he can't find, there ain't nothin' like mine
Thought me and you was just us, I guess you couldn't man up
So I'm gone
I gave you everything
All of me
All my heart
Now I'm leaving with scars
With scars(3x)
You could have kept the pain
My heart is slain
Nothin' remains, no more
But Scars(4x)
Now I can barely make a standing
Here lookin' in your face
Such a disgrace
To who we were and what we had
Thought we was on it like Usher
We both had it bad
Everything I thought that you stood for , I'm takin' all back
He wrong so I'm gone, And I ain't comin' back
Wish I could inflict something cause' I just wanna hurt him back
He wrong so I'm gone, and I ain't comin' back
My heart is hurtin' but my mind is sayin' leave his ass
And I'mma make sure I'm drop-dead gorgeous every time he see me
So he want it more, more
And I'mma make sure everything is successful let him know he
F*cked around and left the best he had
He stuck in his ego
He lost when he let me go
I was arguably the best thing that happened to him
He Know
What I gave he can't find, there ain't nothin' like mine
Thought me and you was just us, I guess you couldn't man up
So I'm gone
I gave you everything
All of me
All my heart
Now I'm leaving with scars
With scars(3x)
You could have kept the pain
My heart is slain
Nothin' remains, no more
But Scars(4x)
Thought we was gonna build
Thought what we had was real
Thought me and you was gonna have a house in the hills
Maybe 3 or 4 kids
Bently's and drop Benz's
We was supposed to ride out and be best friends
But NO, it all came to an end(came to an end)
Cause I refuse to go through the same sh*t again
Ain't no more questionin'
Ain't no more arguin'
Ain't no more cryin', lyin', tryin' to put up wit him
I gave you everything
All of me
All my heart
Now I'm leaving with scars
With scars(2x)
I'm leavin'(3x)
You could have kept the pain
My heart is slain
Nothin' remains, no more
But Scars(4x)
Ashanti Talking:
Ugh
We all go through it
So, everyone always wants to know
Like what goes on personally in my life and where I get all my inspiration
I mean, I've gone through a lot, you know?
People that I loved betrayed me and, and I never saw it comin'
It was crazy and it's like, it leaves a lil' scar
You know what I mean? But these scars are like little reminders that you got through it and not to look back
(SCARS)singing
It's like a double entendre i guess
Cause you're leavin', your scar
But you're also healed and you don't have to worry about bleeding anymore
You know, a scar, it's like it symbolizes healing
So, it's good that you got the scars and you leave cause your healed up
(I'm leaving with scars 4x)
Said I'm stronger, Yeah

Shes just so humble. I love that about her.

[@thefaireride]

I am so proud of Ashanti. Her vocals have grown a considerable amount each album, but she really out did herself with this one. Her music is passionate, emotive, and lyrically haunting. Her live vocals are clean, pure and strong. She's learned so many different techniques and is really USING her voice as an instrument. This album is 5stars, for sure & I recommend it to everyone!

[@claudinefredericks4858]

Who is here after Nelly damn nearly threw fat Joe off stage to get to Ashanti , for a hug at vs battle🤭🤣

[@ayeshawilliams1828]

She always loved that man from the depths of her core..Glad they could work it out..And are back together after all those years..❤🎉

[@Quellacroix]

Gone head Ashanti voice stronger then ever. Beautiful lyrics. Come back strong let them know who you are

[@PhilFL]

She was really in the moment here. You could feel the lyrics and how real it is for her. Good stuff.

[@lateishaclement2537]

I really appreciate her vulnerability.

[@mustbereal03]

I love everything about this chick....i mostly love the fact that she stays true to herself, and doesnt sell out just to be on top. did anyone notice at the end of the second verse she said " wish i could be vendictive cause i wanna hurt him back" when the actual line is "so tired of tryna figure out why this just didnt last" lol gotta love her

[@3BuckHead]

She did the DAMN THANG with this performance. God I know exactly what she went through. Ashanti I love u & this performance.

[@Nicole-qt4pu]

Ashanti is definitely gorgeous and Nelly walked across the stage and got his soulmate Ashanti back. I'm happy that Ashanti and Nelly are back together and now Ashanti is pregnant for Nelly. God works it all all out for the good.

[@rachaelcash5116]

[@KingFelipeRoyal]

She had some really good performances in the past but this is by far the best every! Everything from start to finished was right on point! I wasn't amazed because u know she can blow. But i was excited cause i love that song and i been waiting to hear it live. It was wonderful and pleasing to the ear
