Shot Through The Heart

[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
