It Takes One!

One injection than your gone You feel good that it stops you need more thats what you think One sip, one snort, one puff, all it takes is one you say give me more give me more i need it Surely you don't You want it but you don't need it But in order to feel all greatness you have to do it again Your not just hurting yourself your hurting the people around you You lie to make everything to seem ok but inside its not Nothings alright Someone comes up to you and says I think you should get some help you get mad and yell leave me alone I'm fine But the other day you were asking them for money but they wouldn't give you any cause they new about your problem and they wanted to help Soon enough your on the streets have no money, have no family, have nothing You get fed by people that feel sorry for you but you cant eat You just want the greatness the drugs You get your money You get your stuff You get skinnier and weaker Your family you lost sees you on the side of the road and says Lets get you some help You say all i want is money They say we cant all we offer is help getting you clean You say shut up and walk a way Two days later you died! Look what you've done
