Jelly Roll – Addiction Kills lyrics

[Verse 1]
Fuck it I got a lot to say let me get started
My wife sent you a message, you act like you ain't got it
The message was about you spendin' Christmas with your daughter
I thought you'd give a fuck about it you're her fuckin' mama (Fuckin' mama)
But still you keep playing the victim
Using the situation to justify your addiction
I hate to tell you that your daughters really startin' to hate you now
What kind of junkie goes to jail for breakin' in the neighbors house (Neighbors house)
I swear this shit's gettin' crazy
I tried payin' for rehab on three different occasions (Different occasions)
Don't worry now we got this, me and my wife went all in
Until you're 90 days clean don't even bother callin'

[Chorus]
Some nights I just ride and stare at the sky, I wish you felt how I feel
Something that's so fun could go so wrong, we know addiction kills
Some nights I just ride and stare at the sky, I'm wonderin' how it feels
When you lose control the truth unfolds and now we know addiction kills

[Verse 2]
I thought about it just the other day, it's been a while since you passed away
Man, whats going on, I turned a cold shoulder to it like i didn't know
That you was poppin' them oxycontins and was sniffin' coke
But you was smilin', wylin', laughin' like it was nothin' new
If I could turn back the hands of time I would have confronted you
But life don't come with a remote so I'm stuck in the moment
And if i can control it why does it feel like I'm frozen
In a memory, stuck here for infinity
Thinkin' about the darkness and what the streets did to me
My minds like a permanent reel that's flippin' pictures
Of friends that's no longer with us I hope they are forgiven

[Chorus]
Some nights I just ride and stare at the sky, I wish you felt how I feel
Something that's so fun could go so wrong, we know addiction kills
Some nights I just ride and stare at the sky, I'm wonderin' how it feels
When you lose control the truth unfolds and now we know addiction kills

[Verse 3]
The guys that played ball and made it to the hall of fame
The same ones that I know die with a needle in their vein
It really ain't the old days, the game just ain't the same
If you ain't dealt with it before then you don't feel my pain
I seen empires crumble, I seen families divide
I know a man that his whole fuckin' family died
I was raised to believe that a man doesn't cry
If that's the truth why these tears land in my eyes
But these men handle business so I'm handling mine
If you think I owe you something well then stand in the line
Got my middle fingers up, both hands to the sky
Put my name on the line, quit slandering mine (Motherfucker)

[Chorus]
Some nights I just ride and stare at the sky, I wish you felt how I feel
Something that's so fun could go so wrong, we know addiction kills
Some nights I just ride and stare at the sky, I'm wonderin' how it feels
When you lose control the truth unfolds and now we know addiction kills
