Unlive (with Yelawolf)

Jelly Roll

7

Mama was a pill poppin′, pretty little number

Tendin' bar at the Quality Inn

Every single day, she was uppin′ the stakesTo 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 runnin′ deeper

Outta sleeping pills turned to needles

The things I′ve done to numb these feelings

Is something that you can't outrun

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

You can′t unlive where you're from

I know women who still love 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 end and sink in and then you die

I learned early that that′s life

I seen dreams turn to ashe at the end of a glass pipe

White trash roots runnin′ deeper

Outta sleeping pills turned to needles

The things I've done to numb these feelings

Is something that you can′t outrun

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

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 and seein′ another overdose that left me down and broke

I had to hit the bottle, had an alcoholic uncle addicted to crack

I look back and I had to hit the bottle

When 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′ a 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 this cinder blocks

Underneath this old broken Impala

In the front yard, out there with the dogs

Pushin′ up the weight but wasn't the weight bench

When Jelly was pickin' up calls

Back in Anti-, I kept takin′ the 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 a light flashed

Look around, sit down and write that

And Yelawolf took off on white trash

White trash (love) roots running deeper

Outta sleeping pills turned to needles (I love y′all)

The things I've done to numb these feelings (let′s go Jelly)

Is something that you can't outrun

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

You can′t unlive where you're from

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

You can't unlive where you′re from

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
