Proud - Have Nots

Well I’ve been brave, and I have been there for my friends

And I’ve been enslaved by stupid shit that should have surely meant my end

Prior convictions, while they will give me no reprieve

I still try not to contradict things I’ve believed…

And sometimes when I wake, the morning light

Shows me the things that I’ve done right

Tells me I’ll make it through the day

Tells me I’ll make it through the night…

So if my dad could see me now would he be proud

That I’ve become the man I am, that I don’t do just what’s allowed

That I mean every word I say to every face that’s in this crowd

So if you’re listening, I’ll play it loud…

And I’ve lashed out, just like an animal in pain

And I’ve looked everywhere but me to point the blame

And I’ve been selfish, and motivated by my fears

And so impossible to deal with through the years…

And sometimes when I hear that sad old song

It brings me right back to my wrongs

It brings me right back to despair

Right back to f*ck it, I don’t care

But sometimes when I wake, the morning light

Shows me the things that I’ve done right

Tells me I’ll make it through the day

Tells me I’ll make it through the night…

So if my dad could see me now would he be proud

That I’ve become the man I am, that I don’t do just what’s allowed

That I mean every word I say to every face that’s in this crowd

So if you’re listening, I’ll play it loud…

So if my dad could see me now would he be proud

That I’ve become the man I am, that I don’t do just what’s allowed

So just in case there is a heaven, and in case you’re looking down

In case you’re listening, I’ll play it loud

In case you’re listening, old man, I’ll play it loud

Yeah, I’ll play it loud
