lyrics

The Crack Era, AIDS Era, Gang-Bang Era/
Look, I don't scare, brah!//
It built my strength up, but I got a lot of things pent up/
Personal bond but I KNOW I'll be sent up//
Gotta' be quick don't call it a fix/
Kuz after every dosage, somethin' broken, and it's gotta be fixed/
6 Months ago - he got him a Chip//
Proof it's all a gamble, sheet of pine now his roof just off a sample/
Forever the actor; no one knew he was in shambles//
There's balloons and now there's candles/
NOW, IF YOU BEEN TO A SELF-SERVIN' VIGIL; GET YO M*********N HANDS UP//
I guess when I was watchin' my mama-go at the hospital ...
I wanted to lie with her --- I made sure I couldn't stand up//
Don't let em see you weak - my mantra, to attack the-/
Reality was much too much so I drank til I had a slant, uh!//
Starin' at the Reaper but I see two of 'em/
Every public appearance, talked down drugs like I wasn't DOIN EM//
Looka here - it's the immovable, unstoppable "V"/
Thinkin' I'm better than you kuz my dealer got a degree//
My realization: when they released me - I wasn't free/
Didn't know who I was but I knew that I WASN'T ME//
I think I walked somethin' like 70 miles/
Waiting on the other shoe to drop; for FIVE YEARS, I rejected my smiles//
An Animal ... kuz I love all humanity but look in the mirror and say "I hate you"/MAYBE LETTIN MYSELF DROWN IS HOW I SAVE YOU//
Reality is way-skewed - trust me - when it's blurry eyes that you forced to gaze through//
Guess I'll I die for YOUR sins like the Lord that we pray to/
Givin' up on my OWN detox and it's only Day Two// GOODBYE
