Freestyle About Addiction at the Bars Lab

[Verse]

They told me to see the glass half full

'Cause some see it as half empty

I chose to see the glass as twice the size it needed to be

Smashed it against the wall i the kitchen

On the floor, going through withdrawals, I was itchin'

But she rescued mme, my heroine to the end

Then she morphed into heroin in a syringe

Around my bicep, I would tie a shoestring—tap!

Five times to find a vein in there

Squeeze seven CCs, so I could see the seven seas

And CC all my friends, so they could see what I was seeing

But what they saw was a despicable human being

So, I guess they just wasn't seeing what I was seeing

Convert two into one, and an invisible plan

To discover what dreams may come for this invisible man

Sentimental education

Beautiful, but the damned was constantly catching fire

Richard Pryor!

My skin deteriorated

Family infuriated by the myriad of tracks

But my train never came

So humiliated, started begging for change

Failed rehabilitation, so the scars still remain

Nice clothes became frayed

So isolated and afraid

Smelled like an animal, my teeth enamel decayed

And I'm relocated in Alabama, now

I'm on that Maalox and Mylanta, now

But it won't stop the burn

Constantly searching for the answers

How I could kiss the sky without enhancing

But it's just so hard to learn
