Free Cee a Fetal Proposition

A FETAL PROPOSITION

There is a portion of the population
in this particular nation
that just don't or won't understand me
and won't let me be the me I need to be

i'm laying in a pool of sweat
my blanket and sheets are soaking wet
i'm shaking and in a fetal position
because kicking a heroin habit is a frightening proposition

so they don't get the fact at all
that i'm at a point of rise or fall
they call me reminiscing about the good old days
while i'm trying to forget them in a number of ways

so Tommy calls, and Lenny calls and Richie calls as well
all asking me if I want to meet them on the way to hell
i'm trying to kick a habit but its kicking my ass instead
and they want to know if I want to get high, well why don't I just
slice my wrists instead

Wow Jeffry, it must be a terrible habit to kick; I smoked for years and finally got rid of them but it sure wasn't easy. You wrote a powerful verse that speaks aloud warning.
