Have Nots - Proud lyrics

Well I've been brave, and I have been there for my friends And I've been enslaved by stupid sh** 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
