[Verse 1: Jelly Roll]

Mama was a pill-poppin' pretty little number

Tendin' bar at the Quality Inn

Every single day, she was uppin' the stakes

To a game that nobody could win

Her kids would stay the night with the neighbors

Mama wouldn't be home until later

We heard she was turnin' tricks for paper

That was just another Tuesday night in those trailers


[Chorus: Jelly Roll]

White trash roots run deeper

I done seen pain pills turn to needles

The things I've done to numb these feelings

Is somethin' that you can't outrun

(Woah)

(You can't unlive where you're from)

(Woah)

You can't unlive wherе you're from


[Verse 2: Jelly Roll]

I know women who sell lovе by the hour

I've seen men fall in love with the powder

I ain't kiddin', y'all, I've seen fentanyl

Sneak in the deep and then sink in and end it all

I learned early that that's life

I seen dreams turn to ash at the end of a glass pipe


[Chorus: Jelly Roll]

White trash roots run deeper

I done seen pain pills turn to needles

The things I've done to numb these feelings

Is somethin' that you can't outrun

(Woah)

(You can't unlive where you're from)

(Woah)

You can't unlive where you're from

[Post-Chorus: Yelawolf, Jelly Roll]

You can't unlive it, baby

But you can face it (Can't unlive where you're from)

Embrace it all

And make the best of it

So let's go


[Verse 3: Yelawolf]

Wakin' up to see another overdose

It left me down and broke, I had to hit the bottle

Had a alcoholic uncle addicted to crack

I looked back and I had to hit the bottle

But mama got back on that powder

I could see in her eyes she was hollow

Baby girl was just doin' the best she knew how to do

Raisin' her son with no father

Goin' deeper, I won't even bother

Take your medicine, hold it and swallow

But I can't sit and rot like the cinderblocks

Underneath this old broken Impala

In the front yard, I go with the dogs

Pushin' up the weight, but wasn't no weight bench

When Jelly was pickin' up calls back in Antioch and takin' a major risk

I was in Alabama at the trailer park, bangin' my head on the wall

Before I could buy my little girl a doll

Before Eminem ever gave me a call

I had that feelin' that you have

But I hit that roof and a light flashed

Look around, sit down, and write that

And Yelawolf took off on white trash (Wolf)

[Chorus: Jelly Roll, Yelawolf]

White trash roots run deeper (Yeah)

I done seen pain pills turn to needles (I love y'all)

The things I've done to numb these feelings (Let's go, Jelly)

Is somethin' that you can't outrun

(Woah)

You can't unlive where you're from

(Woah)

You can't unlive where you're from


[Outro]

(Woah)

(Woah)
