Addiction

[Hook: Sample from the Addrisi Brothers’ “We've Got to Get It on Again”] (x2)

We never talk.  There was a time when there weren't enough words to say

We never touch.  But I remember when you couldn't keep your hands away

[Verse 1: El One]

I had you gone of you.  Now you won't acknowledge existence?

Knew you from inside and out but now it's from a distance?

I haven't kissed your lips since the day you said you against this

But not in time before I made your mind flip scripts

Into a rhyme misfit.  What a dime

You were defined at a time when your mind said unrefined sick shit

So I inclined to visit with my feelings sugarcoated

I'm a bitch still, but you probably wouldn't have spit real if you noticed

And you fucked me once, then took one more hit.  Sex on the first date

You gave great head like kinks on pornos playing nurse aid

And that's the way my brain thirst me

You all fucked up in the top like the kid on your block displaying the worst fade

So it was on Thursday that I knew you meant the world to me

And you even showed me love though I had made you hurl ‘til three

So I was your girl to be—you set money aside for me

Tripped me out to your friends although you was tripping high degree

Excitedly, who am I to leave?  But, yo, you took it there

After I helped you with all the shit between the hooks and snares

Crooked stares is all I'm receiving with no letters

Weak bitch, don't forget that I made your flow better

In themes of average go-getters

But when you see me out with others, it's pissing me off ‘cause you don't seem so jealous

I should have known better when the weed was neighboring

Why can't you see the only love you need is paper-thin?

‘Bout to get your peeps without raping them real melodic

‘Cause that love you once had on your mind, I still got it

So why you rapping all wild, high, and diabolic?

Just remember that Myles Standish is my byproduct

[Verse 2: C-Rayz Walz]

Between orgies and 40s, shorties on tour

You ripped the plastic, pulled up and hit me raw

Seasoned my meat.  You had to do that just to eat

Crazy smooth, blazing you made your energy weak

Kept you wet with desire.  In your chest, I was fire

Hot sex on the highway—lucky driver

In the club or the street, if you seek, you'll find

Told you I was good.  Your peeps said it was all in your mind

I gave you power, coward.  Charm and charisma

You was nobody, bitch.  I was the bomb—ask your sister

Came home smelling like sex—your folks was stressing

What the hell?  Take the "L."  Every lesson's a blessing

Now you paranoid, thinking my boys is out to get you

Thought it was a joke the first time I hit you

And all the times you hit me, was I ever abused?

Gave you what you already had and I felt so used

Chronic fatigue, memory loss—your life's a drag

Roaches in your house, I taught you to let that pass

We analyze errything.  No complains, no doubt

But once you hooked up with him, the truth came out

I used to take away the pain.  Now you act all bubbly

Trying to go against the grain like you just don't love me

You ugly!  I made you the most around people

Call Earl, throw it up in his face.  He won't believe you

In love with a liar, my truth was absolute

But like the DEA, you just need more proof

Still waters run deep.  Now let's test the drifting

And with a half-full glass, you still pessimistic

[Verse 3: Manfred]

How you doing love?  It's been a long time

I know it's unexpected.  Hope I didn't catch you at the wrong time

But you cold hurt me, cursed me out one night

And after that one fight, cut me off cold turkey

Come sunlight, your body felt so dirty

I'm gone now, but why you let me go so early?

It's no hurry.  I told you, "Take it slow," when we first met

But you made a blizzard out of snow flurry

But no worries.  I'm back now

If you ever need me, I'm always here—I ain't too hard to track down

You won that last round but why fight anyway?

‘Cause I got what it takes to make your mind right everyday

Look, we already way past all these petty games

So why you edgy trying to carry all this heavy pain?

Screaming, “Help,” and everybody's ignoring ya

But I can have you in a constant state of euphoria

The more that you try to fight, the harder I twist

Your mind and your body tight like a clenched fist

We intimate—like a French kiss, we're inseparable

Try to pull away if you want, but I'm not letting (Never)
