[Jelly Roll - Goodnight Shirley lyrics]

Goodnight Shirley, goodnight, goodnight
I'm gone goodnight Shirley
So leave the lights back on when I come home

I went to sleep late, but I woke up early
Kissed the game goodbye
Baby goodnight Shirley
Proud problems and swallowed it
Even dealt with a lot of lip
Had to put up with politics
Never even acknowledged it
I just kept on grinding and knew
That the people's with me
Even dealt with some hate
Inside of my own city but I rised above it
Didn't think nothing of it
I made music for the people
And everybody loved it

Goodnight Shirley, goodnight, goodnight
I went to sleep late, but I woke up early


Kissed the game goodbye
Baby goodnight Shirley
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

I'm sick and tired, lord I'm trying to change
To tell the truth
I finally said goodbye to the game
Eyes bloodshot red, I'm high as a parasail
Yeah, my fat ass made a living
Off a fucking set of scales
And I remember back when we was at it
We was broke we ain't had nothing going so
We had to sell dope
When we used to hit the studio
They thought we was a joke
Nobody could have predicted that this
Shit would finally blow
Man we came up from the bottom
I mean close to the trap
And by the bottom I mean down
There with the roaches and rats
Now that I got a little money
I don't know how to act
My city love me back when I
Ain't even know how to rap
