lirik lagu jelly roll & struggle jennings - poor man's mansion
[chorus: jelly roll]
i met a rich man in his mansion, but he was poor in soul
said he could feel those demons dancin’ all around his home
he said “not everything that counts can be counted”
so it don’t always means it counts just ’cause you can count it
that’s a poor man’s mansion
[verse 1: struggle jennings]
i would call it quits walk away from all of it
watch my kingdom crumblin’ and just laugh at the thought of it
pick up all them pieces, and rebuild it like i’m solomon
i hit bottom, then climbed out the hole i had fallen in
never would have found my way, if i would ever followed trends
you can loose your soul a lot faster than the dollar spends
spin the bottle, kiss the devil, pay your dues, the debt is settled
if they gold liquor makes your head bang, it’s heavy metal
it’s a big facade, young peac-ck spread them feathers
pain or pleasure, it’s what ever, life is just quit playin’ checkers
wealth is not measured in treasures
quit treasurin’ your wealth ‘fore you die a lonely death
mack daddy

[verse 2: jelly roll]
a righteous man will fall several times, but can still find a way
i think about that scripture every time that i’m tryin’ to pray
games i ain’t tryin’ to play, hard to articulate
i know we’ll be held accountable for all the sh-t we say
been dreamin’ of demons and burnin’ houses
burnin’ ounces, stressed, i won’t say a word about it
i met a man who had it all, but he wished he’d let it go
he said he failed to get it all he had to sacrifice his soul
highs and lows come and go, but the pain is the pain
if the pain ain’t easier to change, then he’ll remain the same
i keep havin’ these bad thoughts, stuck in old patterns
relive the past daily, i can hear my soul shatter
the man told me i must believe in somethin’
and if i don’t the past’ll catch me, i won’t see it comin’
why does the heart desire when we are in need of nothin’?
and all the things that we acquire take the freedom from us
that’s real
[chorus: jelly roll]
i met a rich man in his mansion, but he was poor in soul

he said “not everything that counts can be counted”
so it don’t always means it counts just ’cause you can count it
