[Intro: Jelly Roll]

You know somebody once told me that change is the only thing that will never change

That same person told me that if I want to change my circumstances I'll only change when the pain that it will take to change is greater than the pain it actually takes to remain the same

So sayin' that the horror of my situation has to outweigh the discomfort it will actually take to turn around


[Chorus: LeeLee Stylz]

I'm feelin' like I'm fallin'

And everybody keeps callin'

And I don't think they know what

What I'm going through, going through, going through

What about the late nights?

I was chillin' at the grave sight, feelin' like I hate life

This is what I'm going through, going through

What am I gonna do?


[Verse 1: Jelly Roll]

This for the gangstas in the trap, this is for the hustlers

This for the woman that just struggles as a single mother

This for the ones house-to-house livin' on the street

Because they realize money doesn't grow on trees

This for the ones with an addiction, Lord open they eyes

Give them the strength to quit before they overdose and die

These streets are crazy now, lord, it's straight insanity

I done seen prescription pills ruin a whole family

My mama doin' bad, my cousin in the pen

Daddy drinkin' again, lord, let this stress end

This for the ones that had to bury they best friend

I'm talkin' crew thick, I'm talkin' next to kin


[Chorus: LeeLee Stylz]

I'm feelin' like I'm fallin'

And everybody keeps callin'

And I don't think they know what

What I'm going through, going through, going through

What about the late nights?

I was chillin' at the grave sight, feelin' like I hate life

This is what I'm going through, going through

What am I gonna do?


[Verse 2: Jelly Roll]

She's such a good woman, why is she actin' foolish?

She coulda went to college, coulda been an honor student

Baby daddy died in the streets, she ain't deserving that

Now she's having sex for OC's, Tabs, and Percocet's

Since the recession can't nobody get a decent job

So they gotta piece the hard or hit the streets and rob

They work they ass off, but they don't get a day off

And they don't get the payoff they just surrounded by chaos

What about my nine to five-a's? About to go insane

They work they life away and still ain't got a fucking thing

And what about the man that nightly opens up a bottle

'Cause it's the only way he knows to deal with all his problems


[Chorus: LeeLee Stylz]

I'm feelin' like I'm fallin'

And everybody keeps callin'

And I don't think they know what

What I'm going through, going through, going through

What about the late nights?

I was chillin' at the grave sight, feelin' like I hate life

This is what I'm going through, going through

What am I gonna do?


[Verse 3: Jelly Roll]

Okay, I got a deal with Triple Six and Lil Wyte

But put that to the side, this is what I'm livin' like

I got a deal but I'm so broke it isn't funny

But every time my phone rings they asking me for money

My niece is fourteen, she's having sex, that isn't cool

What's even worse, she fucked a twenty four year old dude

Wish that I had the power to pull Dre out the grave

And spend a day going to let him watch his kids play

I think about Sams every time I write a song

But I don't take the time to grab the phone and call his mom

I'm sick to my stomach, lord I ain't feelin' well

Had the same nightmare every night they end up killing Rell

Struggle got a fed case, they want him in a cell

Searchin' for heaven 'cause right now I feel I live in hell

I thank the Lord every day that I'm a man of prayer

'Cause if it wasn't for God, I wouldn't be standing here

Stacy lost her sister right in front of her, that's fucked up

Wish I could find the dude that killed her, and go shoot his truck up

And she keeps calling me, I know she needs a friend lately

But I'm so bitter I don't take that to consideration

Fuck it, I'm sorry Stacy, love you, you knew that

Just call me anytime I'll be there I done proved that

They say that heaven's for the sinners too, I hope it's true

And I'm just tellin y'all what the fuck I'm going through


[Outro: Jelly Roll]

You see we fear not the things that we know

But we only fear what we don't know

What we're not comfortable with

We can't see

What's not tangible to us

But the Bible says that faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen

So sometimes we just have to leap out on a branch of faith

And we all know God honors faith
