Jelly Roll - What It Takes

Ever been rock-bottom
At the bottom of a bottle?
And you're just all by yourself
Like you got a million reasons
To grab the .40 and squeeze it
Just to put an end to this hell

It only numbs the pain
I'll tell you what it takes

It takes the soul from your body
Rips your heart out your chest
Makes you feel like you're nothin'
But just a waste of breath
You don't wanna see the sun tomorrow
Don't wanna face another day
Suddenly, your life goes down the drain
Yeah, that's what it takes

There's a silver-tongued devil
Telling me that I'll never
Make it out the hole that I'm in
I'm runnin' out of options
Once it starts, I can't stop it
It's just a means to an end

It only numbs the pain

It takes the soul from your body
Rips your heart out your chest
Makes you feel like you're nothin'
But just a waste of breath
You don't wanna see the sun tomorrow
Don't wanna face another day
Suddenly, your life goes down the drain
Yeah, that's what it takes

It only numbs the pain
I'll tell you what it takes

It takes the soul out your body
The heart out your chest
Makes you feel like you're nothin'
But just a waste of breath
You don't wanna see the sun tomorrow
Don't wanna face another day
Suddenly, your life goes down the drain
Yeah, that's what it takes
