All my party people doing drugs in the bathroom
treating they nose right, I see yall
untreated alcoholics, dual diagnosis, I see yall
cats smoking meth out of a light bulb, drug addicts
(Verse 1:)
I don't make a living, from the shit I'm spitting/
ain't expectin' hella scrilla from my lyricism/
but I stay writing to keep my ass outta prison/
and my drug addicts are the demographic that listens/
Ugh skitzos with no meds, stabbin' clinicians/
people that I once loved, cracked out and missing/
livin' up on skid row, trapped in addiction/
I truly empathize, don't lack intuition/
Molly to ketamine to psychedelic types/
all these drugs do kill dopamine receptor sites/
pills affect transmitters working in your brain/
serotonin levels can permanently change/
The substance abuse is murdering the game/
and I use to sniff a lot, worshippin' cocaine/
so never could I judge you, I know the withdrawals/
it's easy to be blunted when you dealing with loss/
Deeper down the rabbit hole, got stuck in pitfalls/
the feeling of that euphoria when you sniff raw/
everything besides heroin, Kuma's abused it/
pursuing this music, 'cause it's truly therapeutic/
(Chorus:)
You better run and hide if you see me relapse/
contradict everything I say in these raps/
pass me the marijuana, coke, and e-tabs/
I'll end up in jail, won't make it to rehab/
x2
(Verse 2:)
Yeah most of my content's about nonfiction/
coverin' recovery, the drug abuse, addiction/
some keep they remedies homeopathic/
rollin' fat blunts and scream out "homie yo pass it!"/
Without weed I often felt lonely and passive/
but the brain's tryna maintain homeostasis/
yeah by my late teens developed a tolerance/
wasn't tryna listen to what you was hollerin'/
Fuck therapy, what the hell's a dual diagnosis?/
co-occurring mental sickness that cause psychosis/
most addicts do suffer from mental disorders/
OCD, clinical depression, or bipolar/
They give us opioids, benzos, stimulants/
if you anything like Kensho, you'll misuse them/
a wack sober life to me was worse than death/
so I mastered my abuse smoking herbs and meth/
Took the Seroquel, Adderall, Percocet/
wanted inner peace but only had hurt instead/
eight years sober, but I know I'm still different/
if you can't acknowledge this, you are real ignorant/
real ignorant/
(Chorus:)
If you my age promoting prescription pill abuse
someone like me gonna check you
ain't nothing funny about addiction dude
