Dragging Me Down (feat. Jelly Roll)

I've been smiling at times on the outside
But what nobody seems to understand
Is how I'm stressing all the damn time
And something just keeps on
Dragging me down
Dragging me down

Dark road spinning till I'm sick
I can't take it
I feel a curse or a demon
I feel like I can't shake it
I can't sleep to many dreams that I'm chasing
Wait
It's to much I feel like I'm breaking
I can't chase these dreams
Feel like it's hurting me
Put 'em on the back burner
Providing for the family
All this drama starts to get to me
Bills stacking up
I'm screaming
But ain't nobody listening
I been looking searching trying to find a way out
But every corner sign post telling me to stay out
Can I just be me
I feel like I can't breathe
Lord I'm begging for your help
Got me on my knees
It's like I'm treading water in the middle of the ocean
Tears falling my body full of emotion
Watching time tick
The walls close in
I just smile and pray that nobody notice

I be smiling at times in the outside
But what nobody seems to understand
Is how I'm stressing all the damn time
I feel like I'm fighting who I am
I just want them to see
This is me
I want to break the chains that lock me down
Just want to believe
Just want to be free
Something just keeps on dragging me down
Dragging me down

Running with demons and facing my fears
Every time that I'm sleeping the nightmares appear
Stuck in the smoke
Saying it's clear
I heard God whisper that Satan is near
Rollercoaster of life
Got me smoking all night
Got me praying for focus
Cause Lord I feel hopeless and know that I'm right
They keep hating me and life is the same
But I do nothing to help make it change
I've gotten used to the thunder and rain
I need to stop with my glutinous ways
Don't you know that I'm a broken soul
I had vices in my life of which I had no control
I keep strolling down this lonely road
I do not complain because it's all I know
I've done lost some family to an overdose
Help me father son Holy Ghost
Life keeps dragging me down
It's been a while since I was flashing a smile
Roll up another one and pass it around
Smoking with such a passionate sound
Damn

I been smiling at times on the outside
But what nobody seems to understand
Is how I'm stressing all the damn time
I feel like I'm fighting who I am
I just want 'em to see that this isn't me
I wanna break the chains that lock me down
I just wanna believe
Just wanna be free
But something just keeps dragging me down
Dragging me down
