Concrete Dreams

(álbum: All I've Been Through - 2016)

You can call me a sinner
You can call me a saint
You can say I'm a winner
You can say that I ain't
Just know it won't change a damn thing
I am who I am, so I am who I blame
While I sip this whisky
And chase these concrete dreams

Ever since I was a kid I've had an itch I couldn't fix
It's as if even when I did scratch it would just get deeper in the skin
Till a scab was covering it
Then I'd peel it back and dig deeper until no skin no flesh was left
Then I went to discovering I'd have this itch until death
Cause it's in my bones
From on the road been gone to being home
But being alone in my own zone writing songs
I've got an addiction ain't no way to fix it
Just give it what it needs and keep on living with it
Ain't no way to kick this habit but damn it I love it though
I wouldn't wanna take a ride in your boat

You can call me a sinner
You can call me a saint
You can say I'm a winner
You can say that I ain't
Just know it won't change a damn thing
I am who I am, so I am who I blame
While I sip this whisky
And chase these concrete dreams

I've been cursed with a gift
Guess I've been blessed with a curse
Yeah I've been broken and unpaid that don't change what I'm worth
I wait for the day when I can exchange words for and honest living
But until then I'm getting by knowing it could be worse
I could be a hypocrite with a whole lot of jealous in me
Wishing I was chasing dreams
But I can't cause I'm always too busy
Envying the things I don't understand
Luckily for me I ain't had a plan
I got a dream in a bottle empty tank going full throttle
I got an outlaw status because I come from these hollers
So the fact that I'm rapping just happens to bother some folks
You can jump shit, I don't give a shit

You can call me a sinner
You can call me a saint
You can say I'm a winner
You can say that I ain't
Just know it won't change a damn thing
I am who I am, so I am who I blame
While I sip this whisky
And chase these concrete dreams

I am what you claim
I ain't the same and it ain't ashamed to be me
Noone to blame
Through the good times and pain I'll always be me

You can call me a sinner
You can call me a saint
You can say I'm a winner
You can say that I ain't
Just know it won't change a damn thing
I am who I am, so I am who I blame
While I sip this whisky
And chase these concrete dreams
