Stuck In My Ways

[Verse 1]
It's not like I'm incapable of change
I'm being honest ya'll
I'm a simple man in so many ways
I got my strengths and a lot of flaws
I don't follow laws
Crack another bottle, baby, mazel tov
Then I top it off with a double shot
And a puff of pot
Bumping southern rock
As I'm nodding off
'Til I'm riding off and the credits roll
While this world around me kept on getting cold
Baby, let 'em know
Had a heavy toll
That I never let 'em come and get my soul
And I used that silver lining as an easy way of justifying how I'm living
Sticking to my guns like a Beretta mag
Been to Hell and back, but I'm chilling

[Chorus]
I'm stuck in my ways, stuck in my ways
They saying that I gotta grow up and to start acting my age
I ain't saying I'ma never change
But some things'll always be the same
I'm stuck in my ways
Ooh, and I don't know what I'ma do
But try to carry on through
And If I ever gotta change, then it won't be for you
'Cause I'm stuck in my ways, but it's okay
I'm stuck in my ways

[Verse 2]
I'm not an old dog just yet, but I'm skeptical of new tricks
Still the man I always was, 'cept
The world been changing on me, truth is
Yeah, I took a few licks, check the bruises, I can prove it
Find my comfort from it with a few sips and this medical from Massachusetts, if the shoe fits
Fuck it throw 'em on and run a marathon in 'em
Make it to the finish line, God willin'
While these minutes on the clock, tickin'
Either learn to love me as the man I am
Or don't, but I'm not switching
Same dude, rolling up a doob
Smoke blowin' in the wind, Bob Dylan
While I'm on the dock sitting by the bay
With this Otis Redding playing on the Bluetooth
Getting blazed on a Summer day
Stuck up in my ways, living how I used to
I'm maturing bit by bit but always been a little weary of the things I'm new to
Don't rush me, 'cause trust me
I ain't worrying about what you do
Got these vices that I'm fucking glued to
But you know I'm riding 'til the motor stall
That's the protocol
Pour another whisky at the local bar, I'm an outlaw
To society, surrounded by this notoriety
And it's just by being me, I don't even try to be
That's the irony

[Chorus]
I'm stuck in my ways, stuck in my ways
They saying that I gotta grow up and to start acting my age
I ain't saying I'ma never change
But some things'll always be the same
I'm stuck in my ways
Ooh, and I don't know what I'ma do
But try to carry on through
And If I ever gotta change, then it won't be for you
'Cause I'm stuck in my ways, but it's okay
I'm stuck in my ways

[Bridge]
Got this drink in my cup and I'm thinking of something to say to myself (As I look in the mirror)
I been through the ups and the downs and I still find a way for myself
Yeah, I got this drink in my cup and I'm thinking of something to say to myself (As I look in the mirror)
I been through the ups and the downs and I still find a way for myself

[Chorus]
I'm stuck in my ways, stuck in my ways
They saying that I gotta grow up and to start acting my age
I ain't saying I'ma never change
But some things'll always be the same
I'm stuck in my ways
Ooh, and I don't know what I'ma do
But try to carry on through
And If I ever gotta change, then it won't be for you
'Cause I'm stuck in my ways, but it's okay
I'm stuck in my ways
I'm stuck in my ways, stuck in my ways
They saying that I gotta grow up and to start acting my age
I ain't saying I'ma never change
But some things'll always be the same
I'm stuck in my ways
Ooh, and I don't know what I'ma do
But try to carry on through
And If I ever gotta change, then it won't be for you
'Cause I'm stuck in my ways, but it's okay
I'm stuck in my ways
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh
