Jelly Roll - Young Gun Lyrics






The young gun
I'm grieving for the young gun
I'm thinking bout the young gun

My homey get life, he was only 16
My homey would pop pills, my homey would sip lean
Used to tell him all the time, my homey just get clean
Said "I had to do it, Jelly, they were tryna kill me"
So I feel the weight on my shoulder blades
Know that any day I could explode with rage
The one that know the least always got the most to say
If it's made us strong nobody get blown away
Still I'm... country as cactus with coleslaw
Had I seen him get hit over a phone call
Had I seen him go switch and outta toes y'all
Had I seen a man go snitch on all his road dogs
Doing this awhile and I don't feel it anymore
But I kept my law away from when I'm kicking in them doors
Told me build a legacy and I been building it for sure
I've been dreaming that I'm walking on a million dollar floor
Woke up on the dark side of the moon
Listen close, hear my soul singing out of tune
And they say you're out of mind if you're outta fuel
I feel like I'm out my mind and without a clue
And I told my nephew, don't let em deceive you
You don't get another shot, you don't get a redo
You don't get another take, you don't get a sequel
So don't let it stress you, remember to keep cool

I light night skies with taillights
I hear those wolves call goodnight
I feel those friends burn inside
I wear no mask or disguise

I'm a young gun
They ask where do we come from
From a place where most people run from
Where the men of the family die so young
So the women gotta raise up the young ones
Goodnight to the young guns
Mama take care of the young ones
Grow up to be someone
I grew up to be a young gun

Mama cried when my daddy passed away
Then she stepped up to the plate to raise a man
And I ain't understand at the time, I was only 10
Had a feeling that my destiny had been planned
I'll be damned if I end up like he did
Faster with the banger than Billy the Kid
Never had a father figure, only 2Pac and hard liquor
Ambitions override, west side
Face first in the streets, all eyes on me
Tryna fill a legacy
45 and I have a key so demons never leave
Even though mama prayed up, I still stayed up
Late nights in a dark alley
Call of the wild, screaming out, calling my name
My soul has been pulled up by chains, back in the reins
Apache blood runs through my veins
Came from the flame so I cannot explain
The feeling I get from the pain
Comfort I get from the chaos, at home on these streets
I can't stay off I'm lit like the candles in seance
They pray on my people and say that we're evil
We're dying by needles to fly with the eagles
They laws are illegal, immoral, deceitful
I guess I'm supposed to be passive and peaceful

I light night skies with taillights
I hear those wolves call goodnight
I feel those friends burn inside
I wear no mask or disguise

I'm a young gun
They ask where do we come from
From a place where most people run from
Where the men of the family die so young
So the women gotta raise up the young ones
Goodnight to the young guns
Mama take care of the young ones
Grow up to be someone
I grew up to be a young gun

I light night skies with taillights
I hear those wolves call goodnight
I feel those friends burn inside
I wear no mask or disguise

I'm a young gun

    Absolutely love y’all’s music. So much of this shit hits close to home. No shit 25 people whom were family and friends died last year to over doses, murder, old age, and suicide.

    N.... O....

    The loss and the love is real the pain I still have a hard time dealing with. Sometimes it’s hard to pick up the pieces and not fall back on a life style you fight so hard to stay away from. You talk about outlaws... you have no clue about my family. It’s hurts so much when you get disowned for doing the right things for making a life better for yourself and they still kick you down for your past mistakes. It’s like it don’t matter in the end of doing what is best. But I don’t want to die and so I struggle to live and survive and not fall back on those bad rough times. I just hate losing those that are mentally not strong enough and they leave me because they do drugs, kill themselves, or get killed by decisions that involved drugs. I am screaming on the inside. I don’t let the tears fall. I have to bury that shit deep. So your lyrics help me get through a lot of stuff. Because I know I am not the only one who goes through it.
