Old Bastard

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I came up on hard bread and bad advice Told me “stay quiet” I got too loud twice Old scars on my knuckles new bills in my hand I don’t owe shit to your fragile little plan She said “boy, you dangerous” I said “baby, I know” You like the way I bite when I’m still in control I got a cheap gold watch and a mouth full of smoke A grin like a knife and a joke that cuts throat [Pre-Chorus] Too mean to fix too proud to fold You want the truth? I’m that old soul [Chorus] Old bastard, old bastard I’m still standing here Old bastard, old bastard Make your fake love clear Old bastard, old bastard You can keep your crown Old bastard, old bastard I been bad, I been proud [F] He’s an old bastard [M] Yeah, I know [F] He’s an old bastard [M] Let it go [Verse 2] She roll with red lips and a stare like steel Said “you talk like trouble” I said “that’s the deal” She laughed in my face then took my keys We tore up the night like a wild disease They want clean hands and a straight white lie I want the truth with a blacked-out sky You can call me a relic call me rotten and raw Still got heat in my chest and a crack in my jaw [Pre-Chorus] Too mean to fix too proud to fold You want the truth? I’m that old soul [Chorus] Old bastard, old bastard I’m still standing here Old bastard, old bastard Make your fake love clear Old bastard, old bastard You can keep your crown Old bastard, old bastard I been bad, I been proud [F] He’s an old bastard [M] Yeah, I know [F] He’s an old bastard [M] Let it go [Bridge] I don’t need your blessing I don’t need your grace I wear every damn mistake right on my face If I die with a grin it’s because I lived mean Built my name from the ash and a torn-out dream [Chorus] Old bastard, old bastard I’m still standing here Old bastard, old bastard Make your fake love clear Old bastard, old bastard You can keep your crown Old bastard, old bastard I been bad, I been proud [F] He’s an old bastard [M] Yeah, I know [F] He’s an old bastard [M] Let it go
