Some songs don’t just play; they bleed, and that’s exactly what “Only God Knows” sounds like: a torn-out journal entry set to a haunting beat, written by two men who have walked through fire and still carry the smoke in their lungs. Struggle Jennings and Jelly Roll don’t just sing; they unload the weight of their pasts, one verse at a time. Every lyric feels like a bruise, every line like a prayer whispered in the dark. If you have ever felt broken but still breathing, this one feels like it was made for you.
This song is not polished; it is powerful. It blends outlaw country with gritty hip-hop, wrapped in faith, fire, and survival. Jelly’s verse hits like a gut punch: weary, honest and drenched in pain, he refuses to hide. Struggle brings that same weight, adding scars without shame. The emotion here is layered: anger, regret, hope, but none of it feels forced.

Listeners say the song helped them face hard days or feel understood. In the comments, people talk about addiction, prison, second chances, and how hearing these words felt like someone finally spoke for them. Jelly and Struggle don’t preach; they testify and that’s why this song hits differently.
If “Only God Knows” is the cry from the valley, then “Almost Home” Jelly Roll’s live duet with Craig Morgan is the prayer whispered on the way out. Performed at the Grand Ole Opry, it is quiet, stripped down, and heavy with emotion. This time, Jelly doesn’t come in swinging; he comes in grieving.

One unforgettable moment: Jelly closes his eyes and sings like he is trying to reach someone who isn’t in the room anymore. Craig Morgan watches with respect because he knows Jelly’s not just covering a song; he’s living it again. The themes shift: redemption, loss and the ache of holding on to faith when it feels furthest away.
Jelly Roll’s gift isn’t just his voice; it’s his truth. He carries stories that others are too afraid to tell, and he tells them without shame. Follow him on YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook because the next song might feel like your own story, just waiting to be heard.
