Cell Block Rain

Letra

[Intro] I used to smile for the camera Now I stare at the wall I got my name in that book, baby And it still don't tell it all, I wish my life was easy, but it’s not after all, I still write crazy Indians, but my life is over all [Verse 1] They closed that gate on my past Cold gray floor under my shoes Mama cried on the phone that night Said, “Boy, you got more to lose” I held that shame in my chest Like a stone I could not shake Every letter I never sent Came back at me in the break [Pre-Chorus] And I can't sleep right With these ghosts in my head I keep hearing my own words Like a warning I said If I make it through this I won't waste this skin I got cracks in my spirit But I still want in [Chorus] I’m tryna change my life (tryna change my life) I’m tryna change my life (tryna change my life) No more chains on me No more pain on me I’m tryna change my life (tryna change my life) [Verse 2] My girl took the ring off slow Said she loved me, still had to go Left her coat on the back of the chair Left my heart on the prison road I read her last text twice Then I let that screen go black Sometimes heartbreak feels like steel And it never gives it back [Pre-Chorus] And I can't sleep right With these ghosts in my head I keep hearing my own words Like a warning I said If I make it through this I won't waste this skin I got cracks in my spirit But I still want in [Chorus] I’m tryna change my life (tryna change my life) I’m tryna change my life (tryna change my life) No more chains on me No more pain on me I’m tryna change my life (tryna change my life) [Bridge] I know I got so low Thought the dark was home But I seen one small light In a cell all alone If you hear me, stay close Don’t let go tonight I’m still here, I’m still here And I’m fighting for life [Final Chorus] I’m tryna change my life (tryna change my life) I’m tryna change my life (tryna change my life) No more chains on me No more pain on me I’m tryna change my life (tryna change my life)
