[Jelly Roll - Addiction Kills lyrics]
Let me get started
My wife sent you a message
You act like you ain't got it
The message was about you spendin'
Christmas with your daughter
I thought you'd give a fuck about it
You're her fuckin' mama (Fuckin' mama)
But still you keep playin' the victim
Usin' the situation to justify your addiction
I hate to tell you that your daughter's
Really startin' to hate you now
What kind of junkie goes to jail
For breakin' in the neighbor's house?
(Neighbors house)
I swear this shit's gettin' crazy
I tried to pay for rehab
On three different occasions
(Different occasions)
Don't worry now we got this
Me and my wife went all in
Until you're 90 days clean
Don't even bother callin'
Some nights I just ride and stare at the sky
I wish you felt how I feel
Something that's so fine could go so wrong
We know addiction kills
Some nights I just ride and stare at the sky
I'm wonderin' how it feels
When you lose control the truth unfolds
And now we know addiction kills
I thought about it just the other day
It's been a while since you passed away
Man, what's going on? I turned a cold
Shoulder to it like i didn't know
That you was poppin' them Oxycontins
And was sniffin' coke
But you was smilin', wylin'
Laughin' like it was nothin' new
If I could turn back the hands
Of time I'd of confronted you
But life don't come with a remote
So I'm stuck in the moment
And if I can control it why
Does it feel like I'm frozen?
In a memory, stuck here for infinity
Thinkin' about the darkness and what
The streets did to me
My mind's like a permanent
Reel that's flippin' pictures
Of friends that's no longer with us
I hope they are forgiven
Some nights I just ride and stare at the sky
I wish you felt how I feel
Something that's so fine could go so wrong
We know addiction kills
Some nights I just ride and stare at the sky
I'm wonderin' how it feels
When you lose control the truth unfolds
And now we know addiction kills
The guys that played ball and made
It to the hall of fame
The same ones that I know die
With a needle in their vein
It really ain't the old days
The game just ain't the same
If you ain't dealt with it before
Then you don't feel my pain
I seen empires crumble
I seen families divide i know a man that his
Whole fuckin' family died
I was raised to believe that
A man doesn't cry
If that's the truth why the fuck
These tears land in my eyes?
But these men handle business
So I'm handlin' mine
If you think I owe you something
Well then stand in the line
Got my middle fingers up
Both hands to the sky
Put my name on the line, quit slandering mine
(Motherfucker)
Some nights I just ride and stare at the sky
I wish you felt how I feel
Something that's so fine could go so wrong
We know addiction kills
Some nights I just ride and stare at the sky
I'm wonderin' how it feels
When you lose control the truth unfolds
And now we know addiction kills
