What It Takes Lyrics by Jelly Roll
Ever been rock bottom?
At the bottom of a bottle?
And you’re just all by yourself
Like you got a million reasons
To grab a forty and squeeze it
Just to put an end to this hell
It only numbs the pain
I’ll tell you what it takes
It takes the soul from your body
Rips your heart out your chest
Makes you feel like you’re nothing
But just a waste of breath
You don’t want to see the sun tomorrow
Don’t want to face another day
Suddenly your life goes down the drain
Yeah, that’s what it takes
There’s a silver-tongued devil
Telling me that I’ll never
Make it out the hole that I’m in
I’m running out of options
Once it starts, I can’t stop it
It’s just a means to an end
It only numbs the pain
It takes the soul from your body
Rips your heart out your chest
Makes you feel like you’re nothing
But just a waste of breath
You don’t want to see the sun tomorrow
Don’t want to face another day
Suddenly your life goes down the drain
Yeah, that’s what it takes
It only numbs the pain
I’ll tell you what it takes
It takes the soul out your body
The heart out your chest
Makes you feel like you’re nothing
But just a waste of breath
You don’t want to see the sun tomorrow
Don’t want to face another day
Suddenly your life goes down the drain
Yeah, that’s what it takes
