Once An Addict

Nobody really knows How my life used to be Pot, cocaine, pills, crystal meth They were my life The feeling of being high Was a thrill for me Each day I looked forward to That first hit, the feeling it gave me Morning time was spent smoking a joint By noon I was free basing Evening time was setting up the lines By night came out the glass pipe My house was the place to be Friends would come bearing gifts And we'd drink and party the night away You wanted it, I had it I had my connections to everyone's needs Then one day I woke up Realized this wasn't the life for me It took me so long To admit what I had become It has now been four years That I have been clean And tho each day, I still crave I refuse to give in For I am strong And want to continue to be me
