Jelly Roll & Struggle Jennings
Ain’t Livin’ Long
[Chorus: Struggle Jennings]
Ain't livin' long like this (Like this, like this)
Ain't livin' long like this, am I baby? (Am I baby?)
Ain't livin' long like this (Like this, like this)
Ain't livin' long like this, am I baby? (Am I baby?)
[Verse 1: Jelly Roll]
They say we get litty daily
I say that we're livin' crazy
With all of this liquor drinkin'
I bet that my liver hate me
Fuck what all them bitches thinkin'
Time to get the shifter crankin'
I been living life on thin ice
And I been figure skatin'
Boots and blue jeans, guitar and tattoos
That southern rock shit, spittin' bars we rap too
I truly envision that I make moves for a livin'
Life story full of whiskey, weed and beautiful women
Man this Adderall and alcohol
I'm drowning y'all, I'm bound to fall
My heart rate it is soundin' off
It's pulsating and poundin' out
And I'm just tryna wake up for in the mornin'
But even in detox it's not where I'm goin'
[Chorus: Struggle Jennings]
Ain't livin' long like this (And I ain't livin' long like this, like this)
Ain't livin' long like this, am I baby? (Am I baby?)
Ain't livin' long like this (I ain't livin' long like this, like this)
Ain't livin' long like this, am I baby? (Am I baby?)
[Verse 2: Struggle Jennings]
No sleep from nightmares of my old sins
I ain't died that night, somebody did so there's no win
When my day comes, no stressin' I'll be restin'
No depression or aggression, squeezin' the Smith & Wesson
Been caressin' death, feel the breath breathin' down my neck
Stop time, walkin' the line, waiting on dots to connect
I'm slow dancin' with my life to the beat of the drum
That's hangin' off the AR, shoot for the stars aim for the sun
Got a pain in my lungs, twenty years of smokin' Newports
Gray hair since fightin' both sentences and two courts
Livin' by two swords, anger issues in my few shorts
So all in due course I'll be the star that they shoot for
[Chorus: Struggle Jennings]
Ain't livin' long like this (And I ain't livin' long like this, like this)
Ain't livin' long like this, am I baby? (Am I baby?)
Ain't livin' long like this (I ain't livin' long like this, like this)
Ain't livin' long like this, am I baby? (Am I baby?)
[Verse 3: Jelly Roll]
And I ain't livin' long like this
Tryin' not to fall but I'm losin' all my grip
I was lookin' for trouble and I found it son
Right down the barrel of a lawman's gun (Lawman's gun)
And I ain't livin' long like this
Hustlin' is all I know so it's all I did
I been goin' insane, I been drinkin' every day
And I really don't think Hank did it this way, naw
