Roll up One - Jelly Roll

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
