Concrete Dreams - Charlie Farley, Cody Davis

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
