Dragging Me Down (feat. Jelly Roll)

I've been smiling at times on the outside But what nobody seems to understand Is how I'm stressing all the damn time And something just keeps on Dragging me down Dragging me down Dark road spinning till I'm sick I can't take it I feel a curse or a demon I feel like I can't shake it I can't sleep to many dreams that I'm chasing Wait It's to much I feel like I'm breaking I can't chase these dreams Feel like it's hurting me Put 'em on the back burner Providing for the family All this drama starts to get to me Bills stacking up I'm screaming But ain't nobody listening I been looking searching trying to find a way out But every corner sign post telling me to stay out Can I just be me I feel like I can't breathe Lord I'm begging for your help Got me on my knees It's like I'm treading water in the middle of the ocean Tears falling my body full of emotion Watching time tick The walls close in I just smile and pray that nobody notice I be smiling at times in the outside But what nobody seems to understand Is how I'm stressing all the damn time I feel like I'm fighting who I am I just want them to see This is me I want to break the chains that lock me down Just want to believe Just want to be free Something just keeps on dragging me down Dragging me down Running with demons and facing my fears Every time that I'm sleeping the nightmares appear Stuck in the smoke Saying it's clear I heard God whisper that Satan is near Rollercoaster of life Got me smoking all night Got me praying for focus Cause Lord I feel hopeless and know that I'm right They keep hating me and life is the same But I do nothing to help make it change I've gotten used to the thunder and rain I need to stop with my glutinous ways Don't you know that I'm a broken soul I had vices in my life of which I had no control I keep strolling down this lonely road I do not complain because it's all I know I've done lost some family to an overdose Help me father son Holy Ghost Life keeps dragging me down It's been a while since I was flashing a smile Roll up another one and pass it around Smoking with such a passionate sound Damn I been smiling at times on the outside But what nobody seems to understand Is how I'm stressing all the damn time I feel like I'm fighting who I am I just want 'em to see that this isn't me I wanna break the chains that lock me down I just wanna believe Just wanna be free But something just keeps dragging me down Dragging me down
