[Intro: Jelly Roll]
I just hope the pain stops I hear the storm crescendo
And I can see them raindrops crashin' on my window
I feel the wind blow through a cloud of thick smoke
Blazin’ bridge in my rear view I'm wonderin' where’d my friends go
[Verse 1: Jelly Roll]
I hop inside the whip, roll on and just vibe out
I'm smilin' but just 'cause I'm rotten from the inside out
Just know with all this success, comes with a lot of that stress
I acknowledge I'm blessed but I'm still always depressed
It's like I’m empty inside and I’m just tryin' to be a good dad
I’m just trying to do all of the shit my parents should have
Music is my therapy I turn this shit up, I'm always by myself because I feel I'm worthy of love
[Chorus: Struggle Jennings]
Shot through the heart, love was to blame
Only thing my daddy ever left was his name
Time heals the wound, scars will remain
I feel the pain every time that it rains
Shot through the heart, love was to blame
Only thing my daddy ever left was his name
Time heals the wound, scars will remain
I feel the pain every time that it rains
[Verse 2: Struggle Jennings]
Straight shot to my torso, grew up in that war zone
Voice whispers "Yes I've come for your soul"
Bruised heart and a sore throat, hangin’ from this short rope
Masked up in all black wardrobe, Zorro
Soared out 'til we sort it out
Walked through hell and made it out
Champion I take a bow, nothin' to complain about
Knew the game and made the vow
Keep it real, no way around
Struggle made me who I am
Sacrificed it to the fam, don't give a damn
Scars remind me of the battles lost and won
Five shots tossed the gun, sold the moon bought the sun
Fallen star with his heart on his sleeve and it bleeds
For the streets and the honor amongst thieves
[Chorus: Struggle Jennings]
Shot through the heart, love was to blame
Only thing my daddy ever left was his name
Time heals the wound, scars will remain
I feel the pain everytime that it rains
Shot through the heart, love was to blame
Only thing my daddy ever left was his name
Time heals the wound, scars will remain
I feel the pain every time that it rains
[Bridge: Struggle Jennings]
My bleeding heart beats deep beneath this thick skin
Weathered by the storm and beaten by the wind
Can't pretend that in the end you don't hate what you love
Keep running back hopin' that is what it was
It's a sin to see loyalty's been lost
Being real comes with a heavy cost
I'd pay it all again
And just to know that I stand on being the man that my daddy was
Cupid's arrow struck a nerve, I've had enough
[Chorus: Struggle Jennings]
Shot through the heart, love was to blame
Only thing my daddy ever left was his name
Time heals the wound, scars will remain
I feel the pain every time that it rains
Shot through the heart, love was to blame
Only thing my daddy ever left was his name
Time heals the wound, scars will remain
I feel the pain everytime that it rains
