Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My friend's addicted to cocaine
Smokes day and night, drives mom and pop insane
Living his life in the dark light
Every dollar he gets goes into the pipe
[Verse 2]
He wants to borrow some money from me
Do you think I'm blind, don't know the score, can't see?
[Verse 3]
(You wanna get high as the sky)
You're kissing your life goodbye
(You're kissing your life goodbye)
You think it's a game
(You think it's a game that you play)
But the winners lose
(But the winners lose it all someday)
[Verse 4]
Ya don't know who you are, you're losin' your mind
Things get a little tight, he committed a crime
Give me your money or give me your life!
You better empty your pockets because ya
Ya don't live twice
[Verse 5]
(You wanna get high as the sky)
You're kissin' your life goodbye
(You're kissin' your life goodbye)
You think it's a game
(You think it's a game that you play)
But the winners lose
(But the winners lose it all someday)
[Verse 6]
He took the money to the dope man
And he said he had the best next thing you knew, cardiac arrest
It was a rollercoaster he couldn't get off
Next thing I knew my friend's life was lost
Nooooooooo
[Verse 7]
You think it's a game
You think it's a game
You think it's a game
You think it's a game
You think it's a game
You think it's a game
[Verse 8]
You think it's a game
You think it's a game
You think it's a game
You think it's a game
You think it's a game
You think it's a game
[Verse 9]
You think it's a game
You think it's a game
You think it's a game
You think it's a game
You think it's a game
You think it's a game
[Verse 10]
You think it's a game
You think it's a game
You think it's a game
You think it's a game
You think it's a game
You think it's a game
[Verse 11]
(You wanna get high as the sky)
You're kissin' your life goodbye
(You're kissin' your life goodbye)
You think it's a game
(You think it's a game that you play)
But the winners lose
(But the winners lose it all someday)
[Verse 12]
(You wanna get high as the sky)
You're kissin' your life goodbye
(You're kissin' your life goodbye)
You think it's a game
(You think it's a game that you play)
But the winners lose
(But the winners lose it all someday)
[Verse 13]
(You wanna get high as the sky)
You're kissin' your life goodbye
(You're kissin' your life goodbye)
You think it's a game
(You think it's a game that you play)
But the winners lose
(But the winners lose it all someday)
[Verse 14]
(You wanna get high as the sky)
