Jelly Roll, Brix - Life lyrics

If I could put my problems in a paper
Then I'd roll 'em up and blow 'em away
If I could find a pill to solve 'em
I would take a bottle and I'd be okay
If I could fit my sorrows in a glass
I'd pour a double shot and drink 'em away
If life was that easy then I'd never have
To worry for the rest of my days
But life just ain't that easy, oh no, no no
It's taken it's toll on me deep down
In my soul

Cheers, bottoms up
I wish that I could roll my problems up
Wish I could put 'em in a
Pill and just swallow 'em
Wish I could swallow 'em every time
I pick the bottle up then I would chug, chug
You know that I would kill it, get fucked up
I wish that that would end it
Drowning in my liquor meant the
Drummer would be finished
But in reality that would
Just be the beginning
I really got a feeling that it's
Time for me to change
Instead of really dealing with it
I just keep running away
I gotta start dealing with the
Shit that's on my plate
But it's hard when I'm sick from
The shit that I done ate and I'm nauseous
And it's hard to sleep at night
When I'm turning and tossing
And it's hard for a man like
Me to accept my losses
What do we do now, when you froze inside
And it's cold outside, and the heat goes out
When you're already late and you gotta
Detour cause the streets shutdown
And it's all on you cause you know
You can't let your people down
You gotta go in beast mode now

If I could put my problems in a paper
Then I'd roll 'em up and blow 'em away
If I could find a pill to solve 'em
I would take a bottle and I'd be okay
If I could fit my sorrows in a glass
I'd pour a double shot and drink 'em away
If life was that easy then I'd never have
To worry for the rest of my days
But life just ain't that easy, oh no, no no
It's taken it's toll on me deep down
In my soul

All my life I been fucking up
All my life I been not enough
It's hard to learn to love when your mama
Just treat you like you ain't nothing
She chose her man over her kids
Stuck with him through a bid
But she won't answer my fucking call
Man that shit just bring me
To tears but fuck that
I gotta be strong cause I
Know my son is watching
I gotta make sure my daughter
See her daddy thriving
Cause these kids gon' do what you
Do but not what you say
I'm teaching 'em that it's not
Okay to be just okay, that's never okay
Feeling stress as I sit and
Reminisce about my open cases
A nigga meditate just to renovate
All of my broken places
On the real I think I need therapy
Cause some of these thoughts I be
Having just be scaring me scaring me uh

If I could put my problems in a paper
Then I'd roll 'em up and blow 'em away
If I could find a pill to solve 'em
I would take a bottle and I'd be okay
If I could fit my sorrows in a glass
I'd pour a double shot and drink 'em away
If life was that easy then I'd never have
To worry for the rest of my days
But life just ain't that easy, oh no, no no
It's taken it's toll on me deep down
In my soul

Life ain't just that easy, oh no
It's taking a toll on me deep down in my soul
