(Verse 1)
Yo I just had a long week, 7 days as a cook
I gotta bag of bomb weed, smells as dank as it looks
Got some vodka in my flask, purple haze and some kush
I gotta pocket full of cash getting paid off the books
I got some spending money, I’ma hit the club tonight
Blow, liquor, molly, ecstasy, a little something light
We’re getting lifted till our vision is frail
Cause my dealers got the friendly prices tipping the scale, Yeah
So now I’m burning all the dollars in my pocket
Gin and Tonic sippin’ shots of Cvedka Vodka till I vomit
Their ain’t an ounce of decency or soberness that’s into me
Poppin’ pills and not to mention smoking cigs consistently
If it’s not subboxin I obviously got a problem
My mind is probably rotten from lots of toxins and oxycontin
I’m tryna win the battle, conquer what’s controlling us
Pop a couple opiats and ponder on my phobias
I see a vein so I’ll stick a needle right into it
I need a flame shit we’re almost out of lighter fluid
Going astray, now I’m taking a trip
So roll a J, matter fact, go and make it a spliff, shit
(Chorus)
You don’t know the first thing when discussing the truth
Cause every time I try to stop I got another excuse
Cause we pop pills resulting in dysfunctional views
So we practice Substance Abuse, what the fuck is the use?
Mix the uppers with the downers, the anti’s with the depressants
The puffers with the powders and the pills with the injections
We’d rather see the world through dysfunctional views
So we practice Substance Abuse, what the fuck is the use?
(Verse 2)
10 o’clocks the coffee shop, 11 I’ll be smoking bogs
12 o’clock I’m coppin’ pot, at 1 I’m probably blowing coke
2 o’clock I’m doing shots to gather my emotions
3 o’clock I’ll need to pop an aderol to focus
4 o’clock the door is locked, this shit is detrimental
Now I got time for something extra special, I’m ahead of schedule
I’m coming down and feeling saturated
So now I’m fatigued and aggravated unless my body’s caffeinated
5 o’clock I’m passing spliffs and taking massive hits
After 6 we’re packing dips then taking tabs for acid trips
Veteran, trippin’ on the same shit as Merilyn
Injecting medicine then at 7 I’m taking heroine
(Chorus)
You don’t know the first thing when discussing the truth
Cause every time I try to stop I got another excuse
Cause we pop pills resulting in dysfunctional views
So we practice Substance Abuse, what the fuck is the use?
Mix the uppers with the downers, the anti’s with the depressants
The puffers with the powders and the pills with the injections
We’d rather see the world through dysfunctional views
So we practice Substance Abuse, what the fuck is the use?
(Verse 3)
My mind is not complacent so it’s worth it to me
My eyes are dilated so I’m slurring my speech
Cause my connection’s only getting that Grade-A caliber
So I gotta continue just to maintain stamina
Peer pressure gets to me especially if they push me
So I’ma take another just to prove I ain’t a pussy
So if I choose to use it ain’t nothing but business
But honestly at this point what the fuck is the difference?
It changed to pain when I jeopardized my own defense
You ain’t the same can’t even recognize your closest friends
In my veins I put the poison, drug specials low at cost
My face is in the toilet, blood pressure’s off the charts
I keep on using but I need to probably stop it
The shit I’m on is doper than a beat by Teddy Roxpin
The weed that I be coppin’ is the least of all my problems
But I ain’t ever stopping, I don’t see a better option
(Chorus)
You don’t know the first thing when discussing the truth
Cause every time I try to stop I got another excuse
Cause we pop pills resulting in dysfunctional views
So we practice Substance Abuse, what the fuck is the use?
Mix the uppers with the downers, the anti’s with the depressants
The puffers with the powders and the pills with the injections
We’d rather see the world through dysfunctional views
So we practice Substance Abuse, what the fuck is the use?
(Verse 4)
What happens when you owe someone dollars that you ain’t have
What happens when you’re broke and you promise you’ll pay them back
What happens when your best friend’s selling you out
What happens when you ain’t given the benefit of the doubt
What happens when a knife or weapon’s in position to flex
What happens when your life is questioned with legitimate threats
What happens when you’re light of breath and you’re living quite distressed
Cause the decision between right or left could mean life or death
They’ll bum another cig in cancerous fights
Just another kid tryna find the answers to life
They said they cared for me but were never their in the nights
I guess in retrospect I should’ve took my parents advice
Some are looking for a smile, some are looking for care
Some are living in denial, some are fully aware
Cause I’m friends with many addicts who inject themselves with harmony
But then again what the fuck you expect I’m from the pharmacy
