Jelly Roll - New Orleans Lyrics
[Jelly Roll:]
I was out here playin' devilish games
So it's only right I ended up set up in flames
I'm a grown man so I'll never complain
I'm addicted to pain and bein' left in the rain
I pray everyday that I'm ready to change
They say once it's bad that it's never the same
It's like my car broke down on memory lane
I can't wait 'til I face all the critics
That ain't never had to face the decisions that I had
To know if they had made the same ones shut the fuck up
You don't get paid to hate for a livin'
It's so easy to point your finger and judge
Hop in the pig pen and get to swingin' the mud
Everything that we was, everything we've become
Ha, Lord can you hear my prayer
It's somethin' 'bout the city I can feel I swear
I'm on my way God 'cause you're really there
Alabama to Mississippi, now I'm almost there
Before I felt your presence I was almost scared
A trade with the Devil I was almost shared
Now I'm headed to the delta where no one cares
Where our souls are buried and loneliness is shared
In the darkness where the heartless and demons scream
Been tryin' to come clean, but it ain't what it seems
I found a nightmare in my dreams, down in New Orleans
The darkness where the heartless and demons scream
Been tryin' to come clean, but it ain't what it seems
I found a nightmare in my dreams, down in New Orleans
[Struggle Jennings:]
Heard a rumor they was comin' for me
Saw a glimpse into the future I was smilin' countin' blood money
Walkin' down the dark alley street lights flickerin'
Everything around me seemed so different
Figurin' I must be lost, bad feelin' in my gut I gotta dust it off
I got a chip on my shoulder better brush it off
I keep reachin' for the gun havin' crazy thoughts
I heard a mother cryin' tears fallen from her old eyes
Pedal drops as a rose dies, see it clear with closed eyes
Gunshot then the crow flies, night fall and the smoke rise
Couldn't see the beauty inside all of the darkness
Vengeance and love I get confused with being heartless
Heartless cross me out for a couple dollars
Runnin' with the Devil and wonder what trouble follows
Standin' in the street, surrounded by my past
Every sin I ever committed, is takin' me at last
Saw karma's face in a black hoodie
With some gold teeth, and heard the police
Heard a loud scream, seen the barrel flash
Felt the sharp pain and now I can't breath
Woke up from a dream in New Orleans
Put my hands up as the choir sings
[Jelly Roll:]
In the darkness where the heartless and demons scream
Been tryin' to come clean, but it ain't what it seems
I found a nightmare in my dreams, down in New Orleans
The darkness where the heartless and demons scream
Been tryin' to come clean, but it ain't what it seems
I found a nightmare in my dreams, down in New Orleans
In the darkness where the heartless and demons scream
Been tryin' to come clean, but it ain't what it seems
I found a nightmare in my dreams, down in New Orleans
The darkness where the heartless and demons scream
Been tryin' to come clean, but it ain't what it seems
I found a nightmare in my dreams. down in New Orleans

NEW ORLEANS LYRICS
[Verse 1: Jelly Roll]
I was out here playin' devilish games
So it's only right I ended up set up in flames
I'm a grown man so I'll never complain
I'm addicted to pain and bein' left in the rain
I just sit and think about what I never became
I pray everyday that I'm ready to change
They say once it's bad that it's never the same
It's like my car broke down on memory lane
I can't wait 'til I face all the critics
That ain't never had to face the decisions that I had
To know if they had made the same ones shut the fuck up
You don't get paid to hate for a livin'
It's so easy to point your finger and judge
Hop in the pig pen and get to swingin' the mud
Everything that we was, everything we've become
Every war that we won, everything that I've done
Ha, Lord can you hear my prayer
It's somethin' 'bout the city I can feel I swear
I'm on my way God 'cause you're really there
Alabama to Mississippi, now I'm almost there
Before I felt your presence I was almost scared
A trade with the Devil I was almost shared
Now I'm headed to the delta where no one cares
Where our souls are buried and loneliness is shared
[Chorus: Jelly Roll]
In the darkness where the heartless and demons scream
Been tryin' to come clean, but it ain't what it seems
I found a nightmare in my dreams, down in New Orleans
The darkness where the heartless and demons scream
Been tryin' to come clean, but it ain't what it seems
I found a nightmare in my dreams, down in New Orleans
[Verse 2: Struggle Jennings]
Heard a rumor they was comin' for me
Saw a glimpse into the future I was smilin' countin' blood money
Walkin' down the dark alley street lights flickerin'
Everything around me seemed so different
Figurin' I must be lost, bad feelin' in my gut I gotta dust it off
I got a chip on my shoulder better brush it off
I keep reachin' for the gun havin' crazy thoughts
I heard a mother cryin' tears fallen from her old eyes
Pedal drops as a rose dies, see it clear with closed eyes
Gunshot then the crow flies, night fall and the smoke rise
Couldn't see the beauty inside all of the darkness
Vengeance and love I get confused with being heartless
Heartless cross me out for a couple dollars
Runnin' with the Devil and wonder what trouble follows
Standin' in the street, surrounded by my past
Every sin I ever committed, is takin' me at last
Saw karma's face in a black hoodie
With some gold teeth, and heard the police
Heard a loud scream, seen the barrel flash

Woke up from a dream in New Orleans

[Chorus: Jelly Roll]
In the darkness where the heartless and demons scream
Been tryin' to come clean, but it ain't what it seems
I found a nightmare in my dreams, down in New Orleans
The darkness where the heartless and demons scream
Been tryin' to come clean, but it ain't what it seems
I found a nightmare in my dreams, down in New Orleans
In the darkness where the heartless and demons scream
Been tryin' to come clean, but it ain't what it seems
I found a nightmare in my dreams, down in New Orleans
The darkness where the heartless and demons scream
Been tryin' to come clean, but it ain't what it seems
I found a nightmare in my dreams. down in New Orleans

Keeping fort recovery Ohio blazing
Had to listen twice, don't ever do that.
I found a nightmare in my dreams..... the darkness where the heartless and demons scream!!!!! I feel like I have been stuck in that darkness for years
Keep ya head up baby girl
Man this song put me in tears jelly..its almost like your talking to me..I'm 20 yrs old and iv lived in new Orleans 4 yrs and I'm homeless I'm part of a crew called the Wolfpack and they was my family well I broke a rule we have in place..my father just got out of prison for 20 yrs and I met him he saved me and brought me to Mississippi I was in Alabama when I heard this song dropped..when struggle said he heard they were coming for me I felt that pain so hard cuz I'm currently being hunted by the ppl I called family..if dealt with addiction for along time so iv always been a fan of your music but this song spoke my very existence word for word its was like a omens sent to me...My name is Tyler..most ppl call me ghost. I got that name cuz I'm a dead man walking due to. being stabbed three times..but I still face my demons I need guidance I stuck in this place and I refuse to run from my pursuers..god bless you man this is forever gonna be my life song

I cant believe how close to home these two hit... Its unreal... I listen to these two most of the time... Some songs will be on loop for a while... Never been like that with any artists before... Maybe I'm just losing it... Either way for me these two are the best thing I have ever listened to in my entire life. Get your asses up here so I can catch a show! Cedar Rapids, Iowa

Where can I get this instrumental
jelly this needs a badass music vid bro
Bad apples stand up!!!! Slumerica is on the house. Standing ovation for the godfathers of the movement
Not feeling the country vibe at times over 3 albums. But i can not complain. It sounds great. Lyrics a-game. I would love another jelly roll album with a rock and roll vibe. Good shit even if i prefer some thing different. Been a jelly fan for a decade. I just want him to get PAID. he deserves it.
Dustin Chapman the country vibe is what makes Waylon Willie. If you want straight rap beats listen to their solo stuff.
Jelly been listening since u freestylin bout crushing Advil I'm born n raised in new Orleans choppa city keep sticking n moving
REAL FIRE
These two are killing it...
My fkn boyyzz!! 💋 Love
Who ever don’t like this you clearly have no taste in good music. Struggle and Jelly go better together than everyone else in the past. These Waylon and Willie mixtapes are killing most of these rappers albums. Give these two the credit they deserve. There ain’t another rap duo group or rap group out now that can match em. Keep it up.
Dope album homie
NEED A MUSIC VIDEO!!! 985/225/504 LOUISIANA BORN AND RAISED!!! 3RD COAST!!
This song hit so close to home. It's like the words were written from the nightmare I was living just a few short months ago. I've listened to it probably 100 times already
What happen too your 20 song albums bro 8 kinda weak
Don't need 20 when 8 are banging and real.
