Hell and Back

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Rittz] Where's God? I don't know why he keep playin' hide and seek My tears drop Eyelids leaky coming down each cheek I taste salt on my tongue No, that's blood, I know that taste well Know there's angels that's looking out for me Maybe it's my grandfather, God, I'm so ashamed now I hold my face down, I don't like eye contact Don't gotta prove what kinda man I am To who? To you? Do you truly think I give a fuck what people say, you think I'd lose a wink? If you would die right now, that I highly doubt The highway south was looking like a drought with wild fires Got a grown man body with a mind of a child, without God [Pre-Chorus: Rittz] The science is shell-shocked, and I'm no war vet, but I've seen combat and grief I got well off and went back poor fast, my lifе ain't all that it seems But did I talk to the Devil? He got through whеn he tried contacting me I can't believe he had the audacity I was in his grip until he lost grasp of me God saved me [Chorus: Rittz] I done been to Hell I done been to Hell and back Fire's burning, melt my skin My body's charred from my melted flesh God, I need your help Praying that I get welcomed back 'Cause I've been to Hell I done been to Hell and back again [Verse 2: Rittz] I'm sober now, so I never felt better But I never meant to be a poster child for recovery And ever since, there's a set of kids I guess I influence And now they looking up to me I bet I never have another sip of liquor If a slip up happens, they like I don't practice what I preach You was looking like was done with these To me was I struggle with this drunk disease Deadly no more, hourly counting each minute pass A meet and greet with the fans, I lit up a cigarette Tried to pretend I'm glad, I quit, I've been living lav' But inside I'm itchin' bad, got triggered with liquor breath You know how hard it is to get off stage and hit the bed? Starin' at the ceiling when you feelin' straight adrenaline Knowing that no one would know if I get tempted Went and had a shot at the lobby bar, don't have to consider that Relapse and keep that one between us and keep Acting, the minute I think that was an option I think back when things blackin', me smackin' my face on the pavement And risk the fate to escapin', and end up slaying the Jay Dragon, so much on my plate Stacking up I shoulda ate Tapas, the atmosphere that was here, that was years of the same Man, it's sad as a catastrophic storm, brain full of brain damage My hand in an ace bandage, a hand on my straight jacket [Pre-Chorus: Rittz] And I got shell-shocked, and I'm no war vet, but I've seen combat and grief I got well off and went back poor fast, my life ain't all that it seems I swear that I talk to the Devil? He got through when he tried contacting me I can't believe he had the audacity I was in his grip until he lost grasp of me God saved me [Chorus: Rittz] I done been to Hell I done been to Hell and back Fire's burning, melt my skin My body's charred from my melted flesh God, I need your help Praying that I get welcomed back 'Cause I've been to Hell I done been to Hell and back again [Verse 3: Doobie] I done been to H-E-Double hockey sticks All my jackets blue to describe the kinda mood that I'm in Have you ever relaxed, say you won't do it again? 'Til you do it again and feel like a loser again When you feed into pressure you looking foolish to them While you feed your depression and you just letting 'em do it? Because you scared to be you, it has an effect on your music And you done lost it again and it's a problem again You at the bottle again? Hard to quit, on the benz Piece of shit to your friends but you wake up and forget And now we don't know you, bring back the old you Something's just gotta give I know sometimes you really just try'na live But you don't wanna die 'cause you just try'na live You don't wanna be that guy that never had no fight Who lose everything he had because he ain't use a fist You don't wanna be a coward do you? You think you got it all figured out? More power to you You don't know what it's like to have abandonment issues They'd rather hand you the issues instead of handle the issues Now what's a man by the business if he don't stand on his principles? Let me tell ya That's a man who ain't talking 'bout jack He ain't never been to Hell then back Bitch it's Doobie [Bridge: Rittz & Doobie] I done been to Hell And back again I done been to Hell I pray my past don't get me no more I done been to Hell And I'm glad I went I done been to Hell Yes, I'm back again [Chorus: Rittz] I done been to Hell I done been to Hell and back Fire's burning, melt my skin My body's charred from my melted flesh God, I need your help Praying that I get welcomed back 'Cause I've been to Hell I done been to Hell and back again
