Karaoké Smoking Section Jelly Roll

I was talkin' to a guy that I respect dearly the other day

And he told me not to get so distracted fightin' the alligators that I forget to clean the swamp

And it took me a second to think about what he was really sayin'

But he was sayin'

Don't let my problems distract me so much dealin' with them

I forget my mission

Hey baby brother, how ya doin'

The streets still holdin'

The last time I seen ya you ain't seem so focused

Can't believe I ain't noticed

I can't believe I missed it

Life been crazy man

Fast life livin'

While Struggle's sittin' in prison

I'm sittin' and trippin'

And I'm sittin' here wishin' that you were sittin' here with me

But you're not, I'm all alone

Tryin' to write this song

Sippin' on some bourbon and blowin' a little strong

This is therapeutic music so I'm takin' my time

Figured while I had a second

I would drop you a line

Me and Will are doin' well man

Don't worry 'bout us

I bet yo ass up there chillin' probably rollin' it up

I hope that heaven has a smoking section

I hope that heaven has a smoking section

When it's said and done and we're all gone

I hope they got a place that we can blow

I hope that heaven has a smoking section

Hey Mama V it's been a minute since I mentioned your name

And every hardship is a blessin' and this is the same

It's been sixteen years

It doesn't lessen the pain 'cos your death was a first hand lesson on age

I'm just ridin' through my own neighborhood reminiscin'

The life that I was livin'

Man I was trippin'

I grew up around sinners that was tryin' to win

People livin' to die but they was dyin' to live

Think about you every now and then I ride by the crib

Call it the crib but my mother hasn't lived there in years

Meanwhile my cousin came home from doin' a bid

Gave the man an iPhone and he didn't know what it is

I hope that heaven has a smoking section

I hope that heaven has a smoking section

When it's said and done and we're all gone

I hope they got a place that we can blow

I hope that heaven has a smoking section

We ain't smoked in a while

I'm sorry the change did it

That and the fact you got strung out on the painkillers

The money and fame did it

You tried and you can't quit it

To think it's a shame that your name is in the same sentence as a junkie

A flunkie

Your back is the monkey

You used to have it all

The hoes and the money

Had a dream that you killed yourself

Woke up reachin' for my phone like you needed my help

But I'm so focused on myself and my daughter doin' well

You're a grown man I have to hope you're goin' through a spell

But I'm prayin' for you and I know that you're feelin' the pain

But you're an addict

You won't change 'till you're ready to change

And I hope you think about your family and get it right

And just know that Imma pray for you before I sleep tonight

And me and money talk

I'd like to share this thought

While you fightin' alligators don't forget to clean the swamp boss

I hope that heaven has a smoking section

I hope that heaven has a smoking section

When it's said and done and we're all gone

I hope they got a place that we can blow

I hope that heaven has a smoking section
