Jelly Roll, Yelawolf - Unlive lyrics
[Jelly Roll, Yelawolf - Unlive lyrics]
Mama was a pill-poppin' pretty little number
Tendin' bar at the Quality Inn
Every single day, she was uppin' the stakes
To a game that nobody could win
Her kids would stay the
Night with the neighbors
Mama wouldn't be home until later
We heard she was turnin' tricks for paper
That was just another Tuesday
Night in those trailers
White trash roots run deeper
I done seen pain pills turn to needles
The things I've done to numb these feelings
Is somethin' that you can't outrun (Woah)
(You can't unlive where you're from, Woah)
You can't unlive wherе you're from
I know women who used to lovе by the hour
I've seen men fall in love with the powder
I ain't kiddin', y'all, I've seen fentanyl
Sneak in the deep and then sink
In and end it all
I learned early that that's life
I seen dreams turn to ash at
The end of a glass pipe
White trash roots run deeper
I done seen pain pills turn to needles
The things I've done to numb these feelings
Is somethin' that you can't outrun (Woah)
(You can't unlive where you're from, Woah)
You can't unlive where you're from
You can't unlive it, baby
But, you can face it
(Can't unlive where you're from)
Embrace it all and make the best of it
So let's go
Wakin' up to see another overdose
It left me down and broke
I had to hit the bottle
Had a alcoholic uncle addicted to crack
I looked back and I had to hit the bottle
But mama got back on that powder
I could see in her eyes she was hollow
Baby girl was just doin' the best
She knew how to do
Raisin' her son with no father
Goin' deeper, I won't even bother
Take your medicine, hold it and swallow
But, I can't sit and
Rot like the cinderblocks
Underneath this old broken Impala
In the front yard, I go with the dogs
Pushin' up the weight
But wasn't no weight bench
When Jelly was pickin' up calls back in
Antioch and takin' a major risk
I was in Alabama at the trailer park
Bangin' my head on the wall
Before I could buy my little girl a doll
Before Eminem ever gave me a call
I had that feelin' that you have
But, I hit that roof and that life flashed
Look around, sit down, and write that
And Yelawolf took off on white trash (Wolf)
White trash roots run deeper (yeah)
I done seen pain pills turn to needles
(I love y'all)
The things I've done to numb these feelings
(Let's go, Jelly)
Is somethin' that you can't outrun (Woah)
You can't unlive where you're from (Woah)
You can't unlive where you're from
Woah woah
Tendin' bar at the Quality Inn
Every single day, she was uppin' the stakes
To a game that nobody could win
