Cocaine

So low

Door is closed

Trust is broke

Words get choked

In my throat

Can't let go

Of my high hopes

My high hopes

My high hopes

Papa came home from another day of hard work

And handed me his key, told me, "Go look in the car"

So I went out there to look for what he asked me to get

I was checkin' all the seats But the only thing I saw

Was a bag of cocaine

Papa was too solid, he ain't never tell a lie

I went in to tell him 'bout it

He said, "Oh, that must be Guy. He work with me at the job"

I said, "Oh," and walked away

He said, "Oh, before you go make sure you don't tell your ma

'Bout the cocaine"

Me and little homie, we was walkin' to the store

It was right there on the corner

Then we seen a guy that's homeless

He was wrapped up in a blanket

He was lookin' really cold

Then he asked us for some change

Then he asked us if we know who had the

Cocaine

Cocaine

I'm losing my mind trying to figure out

How did I inherit so much pain

I drank a lot of alcohol

Problems with the law

Would I have done better or the same?

If daddy never tried cocaine

If daddy never tried cocaine

Cocaine

In my throat

Can't let go

Of my high hopes

My high hopes

My high hopes

Now let's talk about how much I respect my pop

He been through so much in life

We ain't never had a lot

We just had each other's back

That was really all we need

Papa, I love you unconditional and thanks for loving me

More than cocaine

My father chose me over cocaine

Cocaine

I'm proud to say that I'm an addict who inherits your pain

Trust is broke

Words get choked

In my throat
