Jelly Roll - Smoking Section Lyrics






I was talkin' to a guy that I respect dearly the other day
And he told me not to get so distracted fighting the alligators, that I forget to clean the swamp
And it took me a second to think about what he was really sayin'
But he was sayin' "Don't let my problems distract me so much dealin' with them, I forget my mission"

Hey baby brother, how ya doin'
The streets still holdin'
The last time I seen ya, you ain't seem so focused
Can't believe I ain't noticed, I can't believe I missed it
Life been crazy man, fast life livin'
While struggles sittin' in prison, I'm sittin' and trippin'
And I'm sittin' here wishin' that you were sittin' here with me
But you're not, I'm all alone
Tryin' to write this song
Sippin' on some bourbon and blowin' a little strong
This is therapeutic music so I'm takin' my time
Figured while I had a second I would drop you a line
Me and Will are doing well man, don't worry 'bout us
I bet yo ass up there chillin' probably rollin' it up

I hope that heaven has a smoking section
I hope that heaven has a smoking section
When it's said and done and we're all gone
I hope they got a place that we can blow
I hope that heaven has a smoking section

Hey Momma V, its been a minute since I mentioned your name
And every hardship is a blessing and this is the same
It's been 16 years, it doesn't lessen the pain
'Cause your death was a first hand lesson on age
I'm just riding through my own neighborhood reminiscing
The life that I was livin', man was I trippin'
I grew up around sinners all after tryin' to win
People livin' to die but they was dyin' to live
Think about you every now and then I ride by the crib
Call it the crib, but my mother hasn't lived there in years
Meanwhile my cousin came home from doing a bid
Gave the man an iPhone and he didn't know what it is

I hope that heaven has a smoking section
I hope that heaven has a smoking section
When it's said and done and we're all gone
I hope they got a place that we can blow
I hope that heaven has a smoking section

We ain't smoked in a while, I'm sorry the change did it
That and the fact you got strung out on painkillers
The money and fame did it, you tried and you can't quit it
To think it's a shame that your names in the same sentence
As a junkie, a flunkie, your back is the monkey
You used to have it all, the hoes and the money
Had a dream that you killed yo'self
Woke up reachin' for my phone like you needed my help
But I'm so focused on myself and my daughter doing well
You're a grown man, I have to hope you're going through a spell
But I'm prayin' for you and I know that you're feelin' the pain
But you're an addict, you won't change til you're ready to change
And I hope you think about your family and get it right
And just know that I'ma pray for you before I sleep tonight
And me and money talk, I'd like to share this thought
While you fightin' alligators don't forget to clean the swamp

I hope that heaven has a smoking section
I hope that heaven has a smoking section
When it's said and done and we're all gone
I hope they got a place that we can blow
I hope that heaven has a smoking section

    My papaw was in prison with Struggle, for real. I relate to this song so much and I’ve only been sober again since the 8th of Dec. I have close family that is still out there and I’m having trouble myself trying to stay right but I want to more than anything.

  15. T.... C....

    Addict here. 12 years off the booze and pills. Hittin an 18 wheeler and almost dying didn’t stop me. Shit, got worse from the pills they sent me home with. Talking to my babies from jail while they at moms is what made me finally wake the fuck up. Wish I had your music way back then bruh. But, it keeps me moving in a positive direction today. Thank you.

  16. j.... K....

    One of the rap songs of all time sucks in you in and really life stories

  17. C.... C....

    Jelly this shit hits my soul dawg 😭😭😭 my brother is out there in addiction I cry every time i listen to this. Thank you for your therapeutic music boss!!

    C.... C....

    You need to get him back from that asap. Speaking from being the brother out there for some really bad years almost died several times. You need to do whatever you can before he could be lost. The next post under yours says rip to his brother who died 💔. This shit took my friends (over 10 of them ) and it really is real right now. There almost needs to be a bottom but at the same time you can't wait for that til it's too late. I will have 15 years coming soon and I would fear doing a hard drug right now for my life which is why I wouldn't do it. I know my addiction would take over like crazy and it could kill me. I pray for your bro and do whatever is possible 🙏

    C.... C....

    Chelsea Childers I know it’s not easy. I was out there for years and I got sober but my little brother can’t get right now. It seems impossible to get through to him, It almost comes off hypocritical to try to talk to him and I’ll keep trying but I just don’t know how to get through......

  18. R.... R....

    Hey Jelly. I recently found this song on spotify. I love it. Today exactly 7 years ago we brought my mother home from the hospital and put her on hospice. She was a heavy smoker but died from ovarian cancer. I know the song is directly related to my situation but the interpretation hits me hard. I dont know where I'm going with this but I just wanted to tell you I love the song. #FUCKCANCER

    My sister's funeral was today... she was 29. Cops said suicide... first time I heard this song last month... at that time I didn't have a loss to relate, but we smoked out all the time... then she fucking started doing meth... I really lost my sister 1yr ago... she died a few days after her daughter's 13 birthday. I wish I talked to her more. But I knew she was having too much fun and I didn't want to chase her away... i thought she'd just go to jail get clean and start over.

  63. A.... M....

    I’m a black man/white pregnant woman who identifies masculine in both genders and I just wanna let y’all know that I’m naming my kid Jelly roll Jones come the first of the month when I get my check...I’m gonna go on down there to the Walmart, pick me out a new GENDER NEUTRAL baby doll and name he/him/his/she/her/hers the same day.

    Kara Noah Ik the feeling I miss my cousin she died like three years ago she looked old as hell when she died she use to be beautiful White girl with ocean blue eyes with reddish hair. Ik it hurts. I miss her everyday. She didn’t look like herself in that casket. 😞 she didn’t deserve the life she lived that lead to drug addiction. I wished it would have been different.

    For my brother busy w that crystal dick, prayin you get you back. No family? Is that really how you want your life to end???

  81. B.... L....

    Bear with me here ...,
    I was hit by a car and put in a coma and went to the other realm. In Heaven you don't really move along the dimensions we have here. You want to be somewhere and POOF. You are annoyed by something and before you even know you're bothered you are elsewhere. You are just surrounded by friends/family. For me it was like being in a white room that was filled with haziness. So it is kindof like a smoking section

  82. S.... c....

    Still feeling this shit

  83. J.... T....

    Jelly roll your music helps me get through life thank you keep it up skin 💪

  84. W.... C....

    Man holiday seasons be hella rough w out some loved ones but as I sit here and smoke a blunt an a black n mild shed a tear and try to hold it together all I can hear is granny telling me to stay strong.

    Today, seems like a good day. Keep up the work Jelly Roll.

  94. B.... P....

    You are an amazing artist please keep up the great work. You have found your calling. Write from your heart and you will continue to affect many.
