"drugs"
The best advice I could give you, especially you young kids,
Is never, ever do drugs...if, your life you "really" want to live!
You may live to be one-hundred years old, doing your drugs everyday,
But, emotionally, spiritually and mentally...boy, are you gonna'' pay!
I can tell you this from experience, an addict I've been for years,
I curse the day that I first used drugs, it has caused so many tears!
Drugs, they dull your senses, your numb until their gone,
They turn good men into thieves, good women into bad mom's!
Not everyone that uses drugs, are bad people I agree,
But eventually, we're all hustling the same...cause', nothing in life is free!
We spend all of our spare money in the beginning, then its not enough,
Our habits, they grow so rapidly...that soon we are selling our stuff!
The drugs we do, they blind us to the world we live in each day,
We can't see the walls that are crumbling down,
No more car cause' the payments weren't made!
"Thank Goodness," most have family they can fall back on in hard times,
For awhile, they can keep us afloat...but, eventually we get more behind!
We think no one can tell, that we're doing our drugs all the time,
But, boy are we mistaken...we might as well wear our own sign!
A sign that says, "DRUG ADDICT," "ALCOHOLIC," or "PILL POPPIN' QUEEN,"
Because, the toll that drugs take on our bodies, can most definitely be seen!
You know the rest, soon your house is gone too...along with all furnishings inside,
Next, are your, "PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS," your "SELF RESPECT," and then you "PRIDE!!!"
