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 whiskey and chase these concrete dreams

Ever since I was a kid
I had an itch I couldn't fix
Even when I did scratch it
would just get deeper in the skin til a scab was coverin it
then I'd peel it back and dig deeper until no skin no flesh was left
that's when i went to discoverin
i'd have this itch until death cuz it's in my bones
from on the road bein gone to bein home
but being alone in my own zone
writin' songs I got an addiction
ain't no way to fix it just give it what it needs and keep on livin with it
ain't no way to kick this habit damn it i love it tho
I wouldn't wanna take a ride in your boat

I've been cursed with a gift I guess I been blessed with a curse
Ya I been broken and unpaid that don't change what Im worth
I wait for the day when I can exchange words for an honest living
but until then i'm gettin by knowin it could be worse
I could be a hypocrite with a whole lot of jealous in me
wishin i was chasin dreams but I can't cuz 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 and a bottle
empty tank goin full throttle i gotta outlaw status cuz i come from these hollers
so the fact that i'm rappin just happens to bother some folks
You can jump shit I don't give a shit

I am what you claim
I ain't the same
I ain't ashamed to be me
noone to blame
through the good times and pain i'll always be me
