emotion

Verse 1

Started with a pen and a pad on the train

Every scar on my knuckles is a story I contain

Mama worked doubles I was raised by the phone

Learned to hold my own

Nobody told me how to carry all this weight

So I stack it in the bars and I seal it in the tape

Smile for the cameras but the mirror knows the truth

A grown man still searching for his youth

Pre-Chorus

I keep it moving

I keep it moving

But the feeling never leaves

Chorus

This is emotion

Raw and unspoken

This is emotion

The part of me that's broken

I wear it like a crown

Post-Chorus

(Emotion) I let it out

(Emotion) I let it out

Verse 2

Lost a couple brothers to the cold and the greed

Planted every dollar just to watch it grow a seed

Now the mansion feels empty when the lights go low

Fame is a stranger that I never got to know

I hold my daughter and I finally understand

The difference between a boy and a man

So I write it down honest let the record spin

Every verse is a door I'm letting you in

Pre-Chorus

I keep it moving

I keep it moving

But the feeling never leaves

Chorus

This is emotion

Raw and unspoken

This is emotion

The part of me that's broken

I wear it like a crown

Bridge

Pressure made a diamond

Pain made a voice

Grief made a rhythm

And I made a choice

Chorus

This is emotion

Raw and unspoken

This is emotion

The part of me that's broken

I wear it like a crown

Post-Chorus

(Emotion) I let it out

(Emotion) I let it out
