Never Know

[Chorus: David Ray & Jelly Roll]

I know right from wrong, the old me is dead and gone

But I must carry on with everything left in me

'Cause I'm nothing like the man that I used to be

You're just looking at the man that I grew to be

I wish that you could see my soul (Yeah, yeah)

But something's you'll never know

[Verse 1: Jelly Roll]

Yea to be honest, man I've dealt with a couple problems

Instead of running from them maybe I should just solve 'em

I wake up every day and know that I go hard

And I don't owe anybody nothing, not even a post card

Adios, I told them I gotta go

I told my homies that I love them but I gotta walk alone

This for everyone told me that I would never make it

The old me is dead and it don't need recitation

I had to change my perspective

Change my direction and now in the

Mirror I don't recognize my reflection

My heart was so cold it was frozen twice 'til

The day I met my daughter and she broke the ice

Come on

[Chorus: David Ray]

I know right from wrong, the old me is dead and gone

But I must carry on with everything left in me

'Cause I'm nothing like the man that I used to be

You're just looking at the man that I grew to be

I wish that you could see my soul

But something's you'll never know

[Verse 2: Jelly Roll]

There was a time in my life I'd thought I'd never

Change, I always told my folks that I'll always be the same

'Til I woke up with a lot to lose and maybe

Second guess everything I thought I'd knew

But I accept it all, it's part of growing up

It's the song of reality that makes you sober up

And then you wake up as a new man

Change your life around and devise a new plan

Every day I still grind put it all on the line

It's funny how you're life changes in a blink of an eye

And getting to know my daughter just makes me go harder

There's a difference having a kid and being a father

For real!

[Chorus: David Ray]

I know right from wrong, the old me is dead and gone

But I must carry on with everything left in me

'Cause I'm nothing like the man that I used to be

You're just looking at the man that I grew to be

I wish that you could see my soul

But something's you'll never know

[Verse 3: Jelly Roll]

Talking to the moon sitting at the cemetery

Tear drop from my cheek to an old obituary

And these songs how I show respect to them and

How I was living I could be buried next to them

But I made it out the game and I made it alive

And not a day goes by that they ain't on my mind

I'm alive and free, really what do I got to complain about

Still got homies in the hood that won't make it out

Made a decision to finally let the past go

So if I seem weird know that I'm not an asshole

I'm just probably thinking about success

Regardless what it is I'm knowing that I'm blessed for real

[Chorus: David Ray]

I know right from wrong, the old me is dead and gone

But I must carry on with everything left in me

'Cause I'm nothing like the man that I used to be

You're just looking at the man that I grew to be

I wish that you could see my soul

But something's you'll never know
