Addiction Kills

Fuck it, I got a lot to say, let me get started

My wife sent you a message, you act like that you ain't got it

The message was about you spendin' Christmas with your daughter

I thought you'd give a fuck about it, you're her fuckin' Mama

But, still, you keep playin' the victim

Usin' the situation to justify your addiction

I hate to tell you that your daughter's really startin' to hate you now

What kind of junkie goes to jail for breakin' in the neighbor's house?

I swear this shit's gettin' crazy

I tried to pay for rehab on three different occasions

Don't worry, now, we got this, me and my wife went all in

Until you're ninety days clean, don't even bother callin'

Some nights, I just ride and stare at the sky

I wish you felt how I feel

Somethin' that's so fun could go so wrong

We know addiction kills

Some nights, I just ride and stare at the sky

I'm wonderin' how it feels

When you lose control, the truth unfolds

And now we know addiction kills

I thought about it just the other day

It's been a while since you passed away, man, what's goin' on?

I turned a cold shoulder to it like I didn't know

That you was poppin' them Oxycontin's, and was sniffin' coke

But you was smilin', whilin', laughin', like it was nothin' new

If I could turn back the hands of time, I'd have confronted you

But life don't come with a remote, so I'm stuck in the moment

And if I can't control it, why does it feel like I'm frozen?

In a memory, stuck here for infinity

Thinkin' 'bout the darkness, and what the streets did to me

My mind's like a permanent reel that's flippin' pictures

Of friends that's no longer with us, I hope they're forgiven

Some nights, I just ride and stare at the sky

I wish you felt how I feel

Somethin' that's so fun could go so wrong

We know addiction kills

Some nights, I just ride and stare at the sky

I'm wonderin' how it feels

When you lose control, the truth unfolds

And now we know addiction kills

No, he never played ball and made it to the hall of fame

The same ones I know die with a needle in they vein

It really ain't the old days, the game just ain't the same

If you ain't dealt with it before, then you don't feel my pain

I see empires crumble, I see families divide

I know a man that his whole fuckin' family died

I was raised to believe that a man doesn't cry

If that's the truth, why the fuck these tears layin' in my eyes?

But these men handle business, so I'm handlin' mine

If you think I owe you somethin', well then stand in the line

Got my middle fingers up, both hands to the sky

Put my name on the line, quit slanderin' mine

Some nights, I just ride and stare at the sky

I wish you felt how I feel

Somethin' that's so fun could go so wrong

We know addiction kills

Some nights, I just ride and stare at the sky

I'm wonderin' how it feels

When you lose control, the truth unfolds

And now we know addiction kills
