Same Asshole

[Verse 1: Jelly Roll]
Forgive me I've been drinking
Backroad and then thinking
Remember when the band played on while the ship sinking
No matter what I do theres no escaping my past
I do everything I can and i keeps chasing my ass
I know my karma is costed for all the hearts that I've broke
Knowing I'll never be forgiven that shit bothers my soul
When its thrown up in my face man that shit fucks up my day
No matter what I do I feel I'm only judged by mistakes
Even if the good outweighs it by a million to one
They still gon' hate me for the single fucking thing that I done
Even if the good outweighs it by a million to one
They still gon' hate me for the single fucking thing that I done

[Chorus]
I try not to think of hard times
I try hard to let the past go
I thank God that I'm a changed man
But somedays I'm that same asshole
The same old me the same backroad
A couple of crosses and a black road
Singing the same old sad song

[Verse 2: Jelly Roll]
I must admit I'm infatuated with sad clowns
I guess they help me better understand my Dad now
Those that entertain have the expense of pain
Those that dance in the rain instead of just complain
My brother always said I was ahead of the game even before the fucking money hit the jealousy came
Put it all on the line theres no regrets in this shit
I admit besides the blessings there was lessons in it
They say life is a marathon tighten up cause you gotta run
I know that the dollar spends as fast as the dollar comes
Why these other rap dudes in the strip club with a lot of ones
I'm just trying to buy a crib and start my kids a college fund for-real

[Chorus]
I try not to think of hard times
I try hard to let the past go
I thank God that I'm a changed man
But somedays I'm that same asshole
The same old me the same backroad
A couple of crosses and a black road
Singing the same old sad songs
