Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Mama was a pill poppin' pretty little number Tendin' bar at the Quality Inn Every single day she was upping the stakes To 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 turning tricks for paper That was just another Tuesday night in those trailers White trash roots run deeper I've done seen pain pills turn to needles The things I've done to numb these feelings Is something that you can't outrun Whoa, whoa You can't unlive where you're from I know women who used to love by the hour I've seen men fall in love with the powder I ain't kidding y'all, I've seen fentanyl Sneak in the deep and then sneak in and end it all I learned early that that's life I've seen dreams turn to ash at the end of a glass pipe White trash roots run deeper I've done seen pain pills turn to needles The things I've done to numb these feelings Is something that you can't outrun Whoa, whoa You can't unlive where you're from You can't outlive it baby But you can face it (You can't unlive where you're from) Embrace it all And make the best of it So let's go Waking up and see another overdose It left me down and broke and had to hit the bottle Had an alcoholic uncle addicted to crack I looked back and I had to hit the bottle But mama got back on that powder I could see in her eyes she was hollow Babygirl was just doing the best she knew how to do Raising her son with no father Going deeper I won't even bother Take your medicine hold it and swallow But I can't sit and rot like the cinderblocks Underneath this old broken Impala In the front yard I go with the dogs Pushin' up the weight there wasn't a weight bench When Jelly was picking up calls back in Antioch And takin' a 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 feeling that you have But I hit that roof and that life flashed Look around, sit down and write that And Yelawolf took off on white trash White trash roots run deeper I've done seen pain pills turn 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 You can't unlive where you're from Whoa You can't unlive where you're from Whoa, whoa
