Jailhouse Blues
Smokey Joe & The Kid Lyrics

I'm sick of this pity within me
I am tired of feeling sorry for myself and am ready to take action.

I'm ready to get up and hit it with all I got
I am prepared to do whatever it takes to succeed.

Outta the parking lot
Leaving behind everything that has held me back.

Even if I'm a not
Even if I am not successful, I will still try my best.

Get it right when I want
I will achieve my goals when I am determined to do so.

Running a marathon struggling carrying
The journey to success is difficult and requires effort.

Buckets of tears that replenish the fear (Run)
The fear of failing can be overwhelming and difficult to deal with.

I wanna be there where the fire and venom
I want to be where the passion and inspiration are present.

Combine with elements
Adding elements to the mix to create something unique and powerful.

Shine with the rest of them
Standing out and succeeding amongst others.

Rise like a phoenix
Overcoming obstacles and rising from the ashes of failure.

Deny all the demons
Refusing to let fear and doubt control me.

That trying to keep me from livin' my vision (hit back)
Fighting against anything that prevents me from achieving my goals.

Stripping it all off
Getting rid of everything that has held me back and starting fresh.

All these chains that I made it's all on me cause I maybe
Taking responsibility for my actions and the consequences they have brought.

Cut away my way of knowing that power that burning in all us
Breaking away from the familiar path and discovering a new source of strength and power within us.

I can feel it now swelling in my stomach hear it (Shout out)
Feeling the energy and confidence building up inside me and expressing it proudly.

Screaming in anger raging bulldog
Channeling my emotions to fuel my determination and drive to succeed.

Don't give a damn get get gone (Get out)
Not caring what others think or say and focusing on my own goals.

It's like that something inside me running to catch that
Feeling a sense of urgency and determination to catch up to my goals.

Objective, I panic intimidated I figure (Why you in it?)
Feeling overwhelmed and intimidated by the challenge ahead.

I'm just another figure striving to make an effort
Working hard to achieve my goals despite feeling like a small part of a larger group.

Schizophrenic nature shaking my stature and I... (You gotta let it)
Feeling conflicted and unsure of myself, but recognizing that I must push past these feelings to succeed.

Sometimes I feel lost and locked up in the jail cell in my mind
Feeling trapped and limited by my own thoughts and doubts.

And I try to understand the situation see eye to eye
Making an effort to understand my own thoughts and emotions and how they impact my goals.

I see my freedom in visions
Imagining a successful future where I am free from limitations and obstacles.

Get up to speed to living I supersede the defeat
Speeding up my progress and overcoming obstacles to live my best life.

Like a teacher speaking wisdom
Using my experiences and knowledge to help others overcome their own obstacles.

Get down to business and handle this shit we trample
Taking action and dealing with any obstacles or challenges head-on.

Everyone just trying to manage
Recognizing that everyone struggles and faces their own challenges.

Within comes that evil twin to preaching...
Facing my own inner demons and negative thoughts that hold me back.

We in a billion of little shimmering chameleons
Recognizing that we are all unique and constantly changing.

Who cover up our existence
Hiding our true selves behind masks and barriers.

Seem like nobody going make a difference (come back)
Feeling like my efforts will not make a significant impact or change.

Just look at the picture different (Recap)
Changing my perspective and finding new ways to approach a challenge.

Forget the limits keep crushing them boulders (Take that)
Ignoring the limitations others place on me and continuing to break down barriers.

Some moments come up to make look in the mirror
Taking time for self-reflection and introspection to improve and grow.

Knock sense in my fear of drowning surrounded by evil stares (It goes)
Overcoming my fears and anxieties in order to succeed, even when facing criticism or opposition.

I say goodbye to all that poison inside
Letting go of negative thoughts and emotions that hold me back.

Within the evil eye I see an endless pit of demise
Recognizing that succumbing to negativity can lead to my downfall.

I'm sick of the judging it's nothing but hate in disguise
Tired of the criticism and negativity that masks itself as concern or advice.

So much assuming the worst while it's truth is denied
Assuming the worst about a situation or person without knowing the facts.

The power resides to the one questioning why
The one who asks questions and seeks knowledge has the power to change their situation.

And the one who confides and admits to the crime
Admitting to mistakes and taking responsibility for them is a sign of strength and maturity.

Sometimes I feel lost and locked up in the jail cell in my mind
Feeling limited and trapped by my own negative thoughts and emotions.

And I try to understand the situation see eye to eye
Making an effort to understand my own thoughts and emotions in order to overcome them.
