Goodnight Shirley - Jelly Roll

Goodnight Shirley, goodnight, goodnight, I’m gone

Goodnight Shirley, so leave the lights back on when I come home

I went to sleep late, but I woke up early

Kissed the game goodbye, baby goodnight Shirley

Proud problems and swallowed it, even dealt with a lot of lip

Had to put up with politics, never even acknowledged it

I just kept on grinding and knew that the people’s with me

Even dealt with some hate, inside of my own city

But I rised above it, didn’t think nothing of it

I made music for the people and everybody loved it

Goodnight Shirley, goodnight, goodnight (x4)

I went to sleep late, but I woke up early

Kissed the game goodbye, baby goodnight Shirley

Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight (x2)

I’m sick and tired, lord I’m trying to change

To tell the truth, I finally said goodbye to the game

Eyes bloodshot red, I’m high as a parasail

Yeah, my fat ass made a living off a fucking set of scales

And I remember back when we was at it, we was broke

We ain’t had nothing going so we had to sell dope

When we used to hit the studio they thought we was a joke

Nobody could have predicted that this shit would finally blow

Man we came up from the bottom I mean close to the trap

And by the bottom I mean down there with the roaches and rats

Now that I got a little money, I don’t know how to act

My city love me back when I ain’t even know how to rap
