Hell and Back - Rittz, Doobie

Where’s God?

I don’t know why he keep playing hide and seek

My tears draw

Obviously you coming down this cheek

I taste salt on my tongue

Know that’s blood, I know that taste well

Know there’s angels that’s looking out for me

There’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 then I highly doubt

The highway south was looking like a drought with WiFi

Got a grown man body with a mind of a child, without God

The science is shell-shocked, and I’m no war vet, but I’ve seen combat and grief

I got well off and when it pour fast, life ain’t all that it seems

But did 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 last grasp of me

God saved me

I’ve been to Hell

I’ve 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

It’s over 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

And if a slip up happens, they like I don’t practice what I preach

You was looking like a

To me was

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 itching bad, I drink and the liquor breath

You know how hard it is to get on stage and hit the bead?

Staring at the ceiling when you feeling 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 a man and I think that was an option

I think back when things blacking me, smack my face on the pavement

And Rittz a fate to escaping, and end up saying the Jay

Dragging, and so much on my plate

Stacking the options a

Tapping the atmosphere that was here, that was years of the same

Man it’s sad as a catastrophic storm, bright full of brink

Damaged my hands and an ace bandage, a hand on my straight jacket

And I got shell-shocked, and I’m no war vet, but I’ve seen combat and grief

I got well off and when it pour fast, life ain’t all that it seems

But did 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 last grasp of me

God saved me

I’ve been to Hell

I’ve 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
