Lyrics Proud - Have Nots

Proud

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
