Bottle of Whiskey

[Chorus]
I'm a bottle of whiskey away from life in a cage
They gon' wan' lock me up and throw the key away
You know the days may change, but the pain stay the same
When you come from the bottom and they throw dirt on your name
I'm a bottle of whiskey away from life in a cage
They gon' wan' lock me up and throw the key away
You know the days may change, but the pain stay the same
When you come from the bottom and they throw dirt on your name

[Verse 1]
I struggle with addiction, make impulsive decisions
My life is like yours, I'm surprisеd I'm still livin'
These days are gеttin' rough, I got no food in my kitchen
And you know the rent's due when I got no money to chip in
So I get back to the basics, no faces, no cases
Get released in the mornin', my shoes got no laces
I grew up lower class, was white trash with no braces
I was bullied my whole life, it ain't new if you hate us
If you ain't never felt no pain, then you cannot relate
'Cause I'm a pain pill away from prob'ly slippin' away
I'm so close to an overdose that I need an escape
I get on my knees and I look up and I pray
I ask God for a favor, I need help today
'Cause I'm stuck in a loop and my brain ain't the same
I ask God for forgiveness, but I sin anyway
I got my fist balled up 'cause I'm angry and I rage

[Chorus]
I'm a bottle of whiskey away from life in a cage
They gon' wan' lock me up and throw the key away
You know the days may change, but the pain stay the same
When you come from the bottom and they throw dirt on your name
I'm a bottle of whiskey away from life in a cage
They gon' wan' lock me up and throw the key away
You know the days may change, but the pain stay the same
When you come from the bottom and they throw dirt on your name

[Verse 2]
I-I-I moved homes every year, went to ten different schools
I got left with bruises when I didn't follow rules
I tried to behave, but at home there wasn't food
You got punched in your face if you had an attitude
I looked up to my savior and I asked him to save me
And he gave me my options, I picked the one with the Grammy
I ain't never been the one to be close with my family
Even if I reached out, yo, they wouldn't understand me
I'm at war with my demons, I pray to God that I beat 'em
This is me facing karma, my life changed with the seasons
Had to put that bottle down, it was hard to quit drinkin'
I woke up every mornin' so lucky to be be breathin'
The pain that I been through, this stuff made me a man
To drown in the ocean, you must dig through the sand
I asked God for the street, and he gave me a plan
I asked God for forgiveness, and he gave me his hand

[Chorus]
I'm a bottle of whiskey away from life in a cage
They gon' wan' lock me up and throw the key away
You know the days may change, but the pain stay the same
When you come from the bottom and they throw dirt on your name
I'm a bottle of whiskey away from life in a cage
They gon' wan' lock me up and throw the key away
You know the days may change, but the pain stay the same
When you come from the bottom and they throw dirt on your name
