Asshole

I wasn't trying to be an asshole, it is what it is, I'm honest, sometimes blunt

Okay, maybe unapologetic is hell-crass, with a smart-ass edge and no filter on my mouth, but asshole is just a lazy label people slap on truth when it hits too loud

I do what the fuck I want, when I want I say what I mean, if you want out of my life, there's the door

No chase, no speeches, no wounded puppy shit, begging ain't my scene, not me

I tell you exactly what I need, if you're not good with that, someone else will be

Yeah, some of it's wants, so what? At this age, after the roads I bled on, it's my goddamn time, now I earned every inch of it

I live out loud, nothing about me is hidden, the circles I run and make soft people nervous, that's fine, those aren't strangers, they're brothers

A patch ain't cloth, it's blood, time, scars, and trust I give without keeping score, and I protect what's mine like it's sacred

I've worn the name asshole like a badge, not because I'm cruel, but because I don't bow

Fake smiles, I sand myself down to make fragile people comfortable

Are we all capable of being assholes sometimes

Every last one of us, difference is, I don't hide mine in a drawer, pretend I'm something I'm not

So fuck it, maybe I am an asshole

Say it louder if it helps you cope, I'll still move how I move, I'll still live how I live, and I don't give two fucks what you think of me
