Addiction

I’m going through it Deep down inside I know the truth is All this alcohol won’t improve it I’ve been told I’m clueless, slow, and stupid A hopeless nuisance, a piece of shit They used to tell me daily I don’t need a V12 Mercedes I just need some help in paying all these bills, it’s crazy They’re trying to kill me lately. The pills I’m taking Are for headaches. I don’t do drugs Mostly because they cost too much And I don’t just mean financially They’ll take a toll on your family They’ll break your soul and humanity But I suppose that we’re actually All addicts in reality (Prescription) pills, coke, and weed (Addiction) kills hopes and dreams Dollar bills, clothes, and bling We’re all addicted to somethin’ Ecstasy, PCP, Methamphetamine Ketamine, codeine, and promethazine Liquor, speed, caffeine, and nicotine We’re all addicted to somethin’ We’re all just addicts trying to kick the habit Trying to live and balance all the shit that happens All the bills we pay, all the pills we take ‘Cause we feel this pain looking for real escape We’re all addicted to somethin’ Whether it is a substance You can snort or ingest it or some sort of obsession Assorted possessions with enormous investments For the poor and pretentious. No morals or ethics You’re no more or no less any mortal you mention Sprinkle a little meth in your morning refreshments And hope they won’t be mourning your unfortunate exit You don’t wanna take a trip to the morgue with a death wish You can keep the Percocets, don’t do more than Excedrin Save the problems for tomorrow, Prozac if you’re stressin’ At the bottom of a bottle trying to manage depression You turn to drugs ‘cause they offer relief It’s a crutch when you fall to your knees You never stop ‘cause they call it disease And self-medication is all that you need (Prescription) pills, coke, and weed (Addiction) kills hopes and dreams Dollar bills, clothes, and bling We’re all addicted to somethin’ Ecstasy, PCP, Methamphetamine Ketamine, codeine, and promethazine Liquor, speed, caffeine, and nicotine We’re all addicted to somethin’ We’re all just addicts trying to kick the habit Trying to live and balance all the shit that happens All the bills we pay, all the pills we take ‘Cause we feel this pain looking for real escape
