Be Not Deceived

Some green some blue saying how do you do
some you sniff some you swallow some you puff from a bottle
some are big some are small some make you feel ten feet tall
some bring you up some take you down some have your head spinning around

feeling good got that hit and believing at anytime you can quit
but you come down from that high and with life you can't cope
so you run out to the nearest corner looking to score some more dope

Thought you had it all together thought you could handle it
but when you're without it you throw a real hissy fit
It's presence is overwhelming when it gets you in its grip
and if youre not careful your life will become a long drawnout trip.
