Addiciton

He put the demo to my face, I just looked at the thing
Just thinkin bout that stuff made my ears start to ring
In the front of my mind I could only think about my daughter
Momma needs to be strong so I took a sip of water
Cleared my throat, Barley able to speak
Shake the thoughts out my head, aint no time to be weak
Think about the times it messed up your whole life
Do you really wanna do it
I'd rather die by the knife
Now he lit his own and you can smell that smell
Sometimes beating addiction will put you through hell
It will never be over, You'll deal with it til you die
Just bow your head and pray to that man up in the sky
Why me please just tell me why
When you on that stuff you feel like you could fly
I thought about it for a minute But...
Get that stuff out of my face, what do you think I am
Maybe back in the days but not today my man
I got too much to lose
Better yet I still have so much to prove
