## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Easy come, easy go

That ain't life momma told me so

You're gonna get beat up along the way

You're gonna get beat up along the way

So when you get, get knocked down

Remember every rose comes from the ground

Bleed every color running through your veins

Got to bleed every color running through your veins

[Pre-Chorus 1]

There's beauty in the pain

[Chorus]

So I wear my scars like they're all made by Louis

And I sing my sad songs and sound like a symphony

Momma says I'm a messed up masterpiece

I swear my demons are pets on a tight leash

They put on the pressure and diamonds come out of me

Momma says I'm a messed up masterpiece

[Post-Chorus]

Momma says I'm a messed up masterpiece

Momma says I'm a messed up masterpiece

[Verse 2]

Maybe I ain't a starry night

Sistine Chapel city of lights

Sooner or later Imma have my day

Sooner or later I'mma have my day

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Made me a fighter I'mma make her proud

Wade through the fire 'til I'm six feet down

Even when I'm lying there in the ground

From the ground a rose is found

[Chorus]

I wear my scars like they're all made by Louis

And I sing my sad songs and sound like a symphony

Momma says I'm a messed up masterpiece

I swear my demons are pets on a tight leash

They put on the pressure and diamonds come out of me

Momma says I'm a messed up masterpiece

[Post-Chorus]

Momma says I'm a messed up masterpiece

Momma says I'm a messed up masterpiece

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Made me a fighter I'mma make her proud

Wade through the fire 'til I'm six feet down

Even when I'm lying there in the ground

From the ground a rose is found

[Chorus]

I wear my scars like they're all made by Louis

And I sing my sad songs and sound like a symphony

Momma says I'm a messed up masterpiece

I swear my demons are pets on a tight leash

They put on the pressure and diamonds come out of me

Momma says I'm a messed up, messed up, messed up masterpiece

[Post-Chorus]

Momma says I'm a messed up, messed up, messed up masterpiece

Momma says I'm a messed up masterpiece
