Lyrics Jelly Roll – Lose Your Soul

Back when I was younger 15 years old
I was tryna figure out where I’m gonna go
I was out tryna find a block of gold
A rainbow, I was chasing a rainbow

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

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 gonna go
I was out tryna 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 its 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 gonna 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
