House of Cards Jelly Roll

[Verse 1]
Ate lunch with the Devil, was dancin' with death
I'm makin' the most of the chance I have left
One hand to the sky, one hand on my chest
If you ask if I'm scared, then the answer is yes
I done been up, I done been poor
Not even a dollar, I slept on the floor
I'm mounting the problems, they can't be ignored
I came from the bottom to settle the score
Lord gave me a shot with this music
I promise them no more excuses
I'm tryin' so hard, you can tell by my scars
And my past is so damn abusive
It's time I tell you what the truth is
Some days I swear I feel useless
My happiness has been elusive
I had an encounter with Judas
Somewhere in the dark, along the line, I lost my mind
The old me is a prisoner that's somewhere lost in time
I had family I treated right that tried to take my life
Look at my back and you won't find no room to put another knife

[Pre-Chorus]
I lost my mind
I got no shame
And I keep tryin' not to cry
Got this ice runnin' through my veins
And I got fire in my eyes
