Too Old for This Shit

I woke up already tired. That’s how I knew it was gonna be one of those days.

Back hurts before the sun comes up Coffee don’t do what it used to do Everybody’s talkin’ loud these days Like volume makes a lie more true Some kid flexin’ borrowed courage Actin’ like he runs the room I’ve buried better men than that For sayin’ half the things they do

I ain’t mad, I ain’t impressed I just don’t have it left

I’m too old for this shit Too tired to pretend Too sober for your drama Too worn down to bend I’ve bled enough to mean it I’ve paid enough to quit Say what you wanna say — I’m too old for this shit

I’ve shook hands I shouldn’t have Kept quiet when I should’ve walked Watched weak men build their kingdoms Out of rumors and cheap talk They love you when you carry weight When you make their problems fit Then act surprised when you step back And don’t explain a bit

I don’t owe ‘em reasons I don’t owe ‘em shit

I’m too old for this shit Too clear to play along Too done with second chances For people dead wrong I don’t need your approval I don’t need your list I’ve earned the right to walk away I’m too old for this shit

I ain’t bitter — I remember That’s the difference now Pain taught me when to speak And when to leave the crowd So if my silence makes you nervous If my calm don’t sit right That’s just what it looks like When a man knows his line

I’m too old for this shit For fake smiles and fake peace For sellin’ off my backbone Just to help you sleep I’ll take quiet over chaos Truth over a hit I lived long enough to know better — I’m too old for this shit

Yeah. I’ve seen enough.
