Jelly Roll

I Am Not Okay is a song by American singer Jelly Roll, released on June 12, 2024, as the lead single from his tenth studio album, Beautifully Broken. It was written by Jelly Roll, Taylor Phillips, Ashley Gorley, and Casey Brown, and produced by Zach Crowell. Phillips remarked that attending Jelly Roll's concert was akin to going to church, which prompted Jelly Roll to say that he was making it "OK for people not to be OK", which inspired the song's hook. Lyrics: [Verse 1] I am not okay I'm barely gettin' by I'm losin' track of days And losin' sleep at night I am not okay I'm hangin' on the rails So if I say I'm fine Just know I learned to hide it well [Chorus] I know I can't be the only one Who's holdin' on for dear life But God knows, I know When it's all said and done I'm not okay But it's all gonna be alright It's not okay But we're all gonna be alright [Verse 2] I woke up today I almost stayed in bed Had the devil on my back And voices in my head Some days, it ain't all bad Some days, it all gets worse Some days, I swear I'm better off Layin' in that dirt [Chorus] I know I can't be the only one Who's holdin' on for dear life But God knows, I know When it's all said and done I'm not okay But it's all gonna be alright It's not okay But wе're all gonna be alright Gonna be alright Gonna bе alright [Bridge] I know one day We'll see the other side The pain'll wash away In a holy water tide And we all gonna be alright [Chorus] I know I can't be the only one Who's holdin' on for dear life But God knows, I know When it's all said and done I'm not okay But it's all gonna be alright It's not okay But we're all gonna be alright I'm not okay But it's all gonna be alright

Heart Of Stone is Jelly Roll's personal prayer, to God. "On the edge of self-destruction, his need for change outweighs the pull toward crippling habits and decisions." I think a lot of people can relate and be moved by this song. Jelly Roll described "Heart Of Stone" to Rolling Stone as "the ultimate cry for help" - a stark, painful glimpse into a man clawing his way back from a self-inflicted hell. The song's inspiration comes from Jelly Roll's commitment to revealing his true self in his music. He explained, "My whole music is about honesty. I love the idea of being like, 'God, I know I need you, you know what I mean. But you got to come over here. I'm in a really dark place.'" Lyrics: [Verse 1] Dear Lord, can you help me? I've fallen out of grace I'm crawlin' back to Heaven from this hell on earth I made My blood has gotten heavy, there's metal in my veins It's runnin' like the river, filled with all of my mistakes [Pre-Chorus] On my knees, I'm lookin' up I need a different kind of drug [Chorus] I'm wide awake and I'm dreaming Wonderin' where and when I fell apart Oh, I fell apart I had enough of my demons Angels only meet you where you are And I'm in the dark 'Least for now, Lord, I ain't losin' hope That somehow you can make a heart of gold From this heart of stone (Oh) This heart of stone, oh [Verse 2] Dear Lord, can you hear me? I'm shackled in these chains I'm haunted by the lies of every time I said I'd change I'm slippin' through the shadows, it's weighing on my soul The lights are shinin' on me, but there ain't nobody home [Pre-Chorus] On my knees, I'm lookin' up I need a different kind of drug [Chorus] I'm wide awake and I'm dreamin' Wonderin' where and when I fell apart Oh, I fell apart I had enough of my demons Angels only meet you where you are And I'm in the dark 'Least for now, Lord, I ain't losin' hope That somehow you can make a heart of gold From this heart of stone, this heart of stone This heart of stone [Chorus] 'Cause I'm wide awake and I'm dreamin' Wonderin' where and when I fell apart Oh, I fell apart I had enough of my demons (Ooh) But angels only meet you where you are And I'm in the dark (Oh) At least for now, Lord, I ain't losin' hope That somehow you can make a heart of gold From this heart of stone This heart of stone This heart of stone 'Cause I'm wide awake and I'm dreamin'

Need a Favor is a song by American musician Jelly Roll, released on December 9, 2022, as the lead single from his album Whitsitt Chapel (2023). Jelly Roll co-wrote the song with Rob Ragosta, Joe Ragosta and Austin Nivarel, the latter of whom produced it. The song was sent to country radio on February 13, 2023. Need a Favor is a country rock song which centers on a man being on the verge of losing the love of his life and praying for God to do him a favor, but also admitting he does not deserve it and hoping to repent for his past actions. Jelly Roll sings in the chorus, "I only talk to God when I need a favor / And I only pray when I ain't got a prayer / So, who the hell am I, who the hell am I / To expect a Savior o-o-oh / If I only talk to God when I need a favor / But God I need a favor / Amen... Amen. Lyrics: [Chorus] I only talk to God when I need a favor And I only pray when I ain't got a prayer So who the hell am I, who the hell am I to expect a savior, oh If I only talk to God when I need a favor? But, God, I need a favor [Verse 1] I know amazin' grace, but I ain't been livin' them words Swear I spend most Sundays Drunk off my ass than I have at church Hard cover King James Only been savin' dust on the nightstand And I don't know what to say By the time I fold my hands [Chorus] I only talk to God when I need a favor And I only pray when I ain't got a prayer So who the hell am I, who the hell am I to expect a savior, oh If I only talk to God when I need a favor? But, God, I need a favor [Post-Chorus] Amen, amen [Verse 2] Yeah, I owe you more than one And beggars can't be choosers But I'll pay for all I've done Just pleasе don't let me lose hеr [Chorus] I only talk to God when I need a favor And I only pray when I ain't got a prayer So who the hell am I, who the hell am I to expect a savior, oh If I only talk to God when I need a favor? But, God, I need a favor [Post-Chorus] Amen, amen Amen, amen [Bridge] Hangin' in there just barely Throwin' up prayers like Hail Marys If You're still there, Lord, spare me Oh, my God, oh, my God, Hail Mary Hangin' in there just barely Throwin' up prayers like Hail Marys If You're still there, Lord, spare me Oh, my God, oh, my God, Hail Mary [Chorus] I only talk to God when I need a favor And I only pray when I ain't got a prayer So tell me, who the hell am I to expect a savior When I only talk to God if I need a favor? And, God, I need a favor [Post-Chorus] Amen God, I need a favor Woah Amen
