Life Lyrics by Jelly Roll

A Beautiful Disaster

2020

[Chorus: Jelly Roll]
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 its toll on me deep down, in my soul

[Verse 1: Jelly Roll]
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

[Chorus: Jelly Roll]
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 its toll on me deep down, in my soul

[Verse 2: Brix]
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

[Chorus: Jelly Roll]
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 its toll on me deep down, in my soul

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