Clean

I Came Back A Better Man,
I Dropped The Drugs & Took A Stand,
All My Life I Was Just A Brand,
I Promised To Stay Off The Drugs,
From Whatever It Is Or What It Was,
I Told Myself I Would Stay Away From Whatever Would Give Me A Buzz,
It Was Obvious That I Wanted To Change,
To Most People It Was Strange,
Nobodys Ever Seen Me In This Range,
Im Sick Of Being Sick,
I Just Wish This Could Go Quick,
But It Takes Time,
It Can Be A Long Process,
Just Watch Im Gunna Rock This,
I Want To Show People That Im In It To Win It,
My Friends Are My Own Repair Kit,
Its Time That I Quit,
So Im Standing Tall In Front Of Yall,
That Way I Know Im Not Talking To A Brick Wall,
I Know Alot Of People Doubt Me,
But Keep Watchin Me,
You'll See,
Im Sick Of Lying To Myself,
So Im Gunna Be Honest,
Honest To Myself For Once,
Im Droppin The Bottle As Well As The Blunts,
Im Droppin The Pipe,
I Dont Need It Anymore,
My Heart Is Beyond Sore,
My Life Was Shakin,
My Heart Was Breakin,
So Now Im Down On My Knees Prayin,
Im Still Waitin For God To Get Back To Me,
But Im Gunna Show Him Im Strong & Have Will,
Trust Me This Will Be Worth Your Bill,
Im Goin To Be Real From Now On,
Im Gunna Mow Over This Like My Lawn.
