Текст Jelly Roll – Roll Up One

Текст:

I wake up every day and I start chasin’ a dream
But understand that reality ain’t always what it seems
You can look me in my eyes and you can take it from me
It wasn’t long ago that I was out there chasin’ a fein

(See my childhood was kinda split, it was kinda cool because it was just constant chaos. Like we always had a cousin in the spare room or on the couch. My mother was really musically driven. She was the woman that when you woke up in the mornin’ she was in the kitchen singing fuckin’ back ?)

It’s easy for me to go and tell a story on a beat
But sometimes I can not see the forrest full of trees
When I was young and dumb they said here the trouble comes
And the way I dealt with that was to roll up another one
Come on

I’m dedicated to change
I’ve seen the darkness, it can no pull me under, oh no
Some people think it’s insane
I’m out here steady dreamin’, a voice in my head is screamin’
So I, so I roll up one, oh yeah
So I, so I roll up one, I just roll up one

(The whole time I was incarcerated every time I talked to my girlfriend on the phone I’d say «Baby when I get home I’m doin’ music I promise you I’ll never sell crack again. I’m doin’ music, I promise you I’m doin’ music. When they roll up one I’m doin’…)

There are days I wanna give up, this shit gets to my head
Some days I struggle to even go and get up from my bed
I promise y’all been through it all, so these people relate
Sometimes I need me a break, I’m just in need of some space
But the hustle it never stops, so I just thought a plan of action
But somedays it’s frustratin’ like traffic jams in Manhattan
When I was a kid I never really planned on rappin’
Hell I never had a plan, didn’t know how I’d make it happen
Now I just smell success and where there’s smoke there’s fire
Somedays I just need a nap, I swear to God I’m tired
But I can’t sleep, I put it all on the line
Somebody like me is somethin’ you’re not gonna find
I’m in my prime

I’m dedicated to change
I’ve seen the darkness, it can no pull me under, oh no
Some people think it’s insane
I’m out here steady dreamin’, a voice in my head is screamin’
So I, so I roll up one, oh yeah
So I, so I roll up one, I just roll up one
