Jelly Roll - Lose Your Soul lyrics

Back when I was younger 15 years old
I was tryna figure out where Im gunna go
I was out tryna find a block of gold
A rainbow, I was chasing a rainbow
Used to ride out every day all alone
Trying to figure out why the worlds so cold
Now i think about the words my mama told
She said you can have it all
But don't lose your soul
Don't lose your soul, don't lose your soul
Don't lose your soul

When I was 15 they said
I was destined to fail
Preacher man told me i was headed to
Hell, he told me death was the wage of sin
And a young man with so
Much anger caged within
Riding round reminiscence I'm thinking how
I used to be
Judge said i was a danger to my community
But back then I felt like I knew it all
I was selling cocaine when other
Kids were shooting ball
I'm tellin you all the truth my
Life was a movie all
Shit you better tell them red
We've been through it all
From close caskets to different court dates
But because I know life ain't a short thing

Back when I was younger 15 years old I
Was trying to figure out where Im gunna go
I was out trying to find a block of gold
A rainbow i was chasing a rainbow
Use to ride out everyday all alone
Trying to figure out why the worlds so cold
Now I think about the words my mama told
She said you can have it all but
Don't lose your soul, don't lose your soul
Don't lose your soul

Mama said there will be days like this
I was a young man just trying to make it rich
Cocaine was a rich mans high and I was broke
So i found a couple rich
Guys that snorted coke
I remember rollin up brown weed in a Philly
Smoking it and hearing scenes probably
That shit was silly
And now it's hard to believe that
I was that guy at all
And now i keep on slippin and
I'm trying not to fall
I'm fucking different woman trying
To not get involved
Cause the saying goes the higher we
Fly the harder we fall
And through it all God never let me go I
Said a prayer every day and I kept my soul

Back when I was 15 years old I was
Trying to figure out where I'm gunna go
I was out tryina find a block of gold
A rainbow i was chasing a rainbow
Used to ride out everyday all alone
Trying to figure out why the worlds so cold
Now I think about my mama told me
She said you can have it all
But sent lose your soul don't lose your soul
Don't lose your soul

I'm feeling like the phoenix how
I'm raisin from the
Ashes, now every mixed tape is
A white trash Classic
To tell you all the truth
It's been a long road
We came along way but we still
Got so far to go
Do this for my brother in the federal pen
And I promise you your not
Going back ever again
Back then we were kids trying
Not to make the news
Now we got this music thing and I
Think it's breaking through but hold
Up back then we had it so rough used to
Do a couple shows but no body showed up
And now everybody knows us there
Like here comes trouble
Damn, I can't wait til i
See my brother struggle come on

Back when i was 15 years old
I was trying to figure out
Where I'm gunna go
I was out trying find a block of gold
A rainbow I was chasin a rain bow
Used to ride out everyday all alone
Trying to figure out why the worlds so
Cold now I think about the
Words my mama told she said you can have it
All, but don't lose your soul
Don't lose your soul don't lose your soul
