Lyrics Addiction Kills - Jelly Roll

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 spending Christmas with your daughter
I thought you'd give a fuck about it, you're her fucking mama!

But still you keep playing the victim
Using the situation to justify your addiction
I hate to tell you that your daughters really starting to hate you now
What kind of junkie goes to jail for breaking in the neighbour's house

I swear this shit's getting crazy
I tried to pay for rehab on three 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 calling

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

I thought about it just the other day
It's been a while since you passed away
Man, what's going on?
I turned a cold shoulder to it like I didn't know
That you was popping them oxycontins and was sniffing coke
But you was smiling, whyling, laughing like it was nothing 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 there for infiniti
Thinking about the darkness and what the streets did to me
My mind's like a permanent reel that's flipping pictures
Of friends that's no longer with us, I hope they are forgiven

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

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 ain't felt my pain

I seen empires crumble
I seen families divide
I know a man that's whole fucking family died
I was raised to believe that a man doesn't cry
If that's the truth, why the fuck these tears laying 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

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