Jelly Roll & Struggle Jennings
Dearly Departed
[Intro: Struggle Jennings]
Shs, hey, dearly departed
Ha ha ha ha ha

[Verse 1: Struggle Jennings]
Been there done did this
You got the t-shirt with my number on it
Ain't going back there's no back track
Havin' flash backs of that last time
Gave it all until my last dime
Did mine and they switch sides
Came home with a different mind
Ain't no open chairs here at dinner time
Had your hand out and I lent mine
You showed yours and it's not the same
Went against the grain and it's such a shame
We were so cool now it's hot flame
On my back listen I'm Raymond Red
But there's no feds just me and you
Got a clear view with a back hard enough shit to lose
That I'ma see it through
I ain't bein' rude, I'm just speakin' truth
If it's rotten to the core gotta pull the tooth
I ate the fool and I drank the juice
They shook my cage and then they let me loose
[Bridge: Stuggle Jennings]
What you do that for?
Monkeys can't hang with gorillas
And I'm all out of bananas to feed y'all

[Chorus: Jelly Roll]
Ooh baby, ooh baby, proceed with caution
Move baby, move baby, we're in the darkness
Ooh baby, ooh baby, why I'm so heartless
Dearly departed, dearly departed
Ooh baby, ooh baby, proceed with caution
Move baby, move baby, we're in the darkness
Ooh baby, ooh baby, why I'm so heartless
Dearly departed, dearly departed

[Verse 2: Jelly Roll]
More money more problems no changin' that
They pop in when they need you and fade to black
Talkin' this, talkin' that but let's state the facts
So many knives in my back I can make a map
I woke up and I pray for you man (pray for you man)
And I pray for your fam'
If a man gets bit holdin' a snake in his hand
Who do you blame, the snake or the man
Pullin' all these skeletons out of my closet
I fucked around and ended up fightin' the monster
I fucked around and found out that my house was haunted
I can't believe there's a confidential informant
I prayed up for the ones tryna down me
I gave a life raft to those tryna drown me
Went to the circus with the ones tryna clown me
I didn't see all these vultures fly around me
I talked to Mondo in a dream, he said fuck it
We've been through worse, this ain't nothin'
Made it out the streets big bruh, ain't that somethin'
You can always go home where they still gon' love ya (still gon' love ya)
(I talked to Mondo in a dream, he said fuck it
We've been through worse, this ain't nothin'
Made it out the streets big bruh, ain't that somethin'
Ain't that somethin')
[Chorus: Jelly Roll]
Ooh baby, ooh baby, proceed with caution
Move baby, move baby, we're in the darkness
Ooh baby, ooh baby, why I'm so heartless
Dearly departed, dearly departed
Ooh baby, ooh baby, proceed with caution
Move baby, move baby, we're in the darkness
Ooh baby, ooh baby, why I'm so heartless
Dearly departed, dearly departed

[Outro: Jelly Roll]
Ooh baby, ooh baby
Ooh baby, ooh baby
Ooh baby, ooh baby
Dearly departed, dearly departed
