Jelly Roll - Ridin' All Alone lyrics

Yeah, you know sometimes I be thinking to
Myself, what if this shit don't work, right
I told my brother, we're in this truck
I ain't got no job trait's
I don't know how to lay carpet
I'm not no barber
You know what I'm saying if this
Rap shit don't work homie god bless y'all

Light up another cigarette and shed tear
Just sittin at the cemetery
Wishin bro was here
And then I think to myself
What if this rappin doesn't work
Cause the only thing besides this
I really know is work
Having nightmares every night
I can't sleep again
I just think about Dre with
That tube in his chin
Think of Biggie, think of Chris


Having flashbacks of the pen
Man, it is what is
This is just the life I live
Doctors said if I don't change
I won't live to see 35
I just keep on smokin like, fuck it
I'm prepared to die
Say a prayer cause lord if your there
You gotta send me a sign to
Show me that you really care

I wake up every day i hit my knees and pray
My mind is filled with pain
So many things have changed
I'm looking at my life
Like it's an hour glass
But I still spend every minute
Trying to catch the past
I be ridin all alone
Yes, I be ridin' all alone
I just be ridin' all alone
I just be ridin' all alone
I just be ridin' all alone
Yeah, I be ridin' all alone
I just be ridin' all alone
I just be ridin' all alone

I got some people in the pen that
I don't write like I should
Hell it's been six months since
I stopped by the hood
Best friend in the trap wishin
I could get him out
But I can't help him if I
Can't help my damn self
Got me drinkin every night
It's turned into a ritual
But then I go to church
Man I feel so hypocritical
Lord I'm an individual forgive
Me I'm just flesh
Plus I don't know what to do
To put up with this stress
It takes everything inside of me
To be the best father I can be
But y'all don't understand the irony
The hatred that's inside of me
Last of a dyin breed
Wake up everyday and try and
Make it out properly

I wake up every day i hit my knees and pray
My mind is filled with pain
So many things have changed
I'm looking at my life
Like it's an hour glass
But I still spend every minute
Trying to catch the past
I be ridin all alone
Yes, I be ridin' all alone
I just be ridin' all alone
I just be ridin' all alone
I just be ridin' all alone
Yeah, I be ridin' all alone
I just be ridin' all alone
I just be ridin' all alone

From the start
I knew that I'd just tryin to play my part
Every girl I ever loved ended
Up breaking my heart
Momma keep on callin me sayin
That she need money
And the part that hurts me is
I cannot give her any
I ain't got it to give her man
I'm just tryin to make it but
Since they think I got it
So many people hatin man
I go to sleep late at night
And I be shakin cause
Cause my nightmares have me layin
Down bleedin on the pavement
Folks I don't even know sayin
That I owe em somethin
Call my phone everyday like Jelly
Can I hold somethin you ain't my gansta
You ain't there when I was starvin
I would of killed myself if
It wasn't for my daughter

I wake up every day i hit my knees and pray
My mind is filled with pain
So many things have changed
I'm looking at my life
Like it's an hour glass
But I still spend every minute
Trying to catch the past
I be ridin all alone
Yes, I be ridin' all alone
I just be ridin' all alone
I just be ridin' all alone
I just be ridin' all alone
Yeah, I be ridin' all alone
I just be ridin' all alone
I just be ridin' all alone
