Pepsi As a Drug
They start you out with sips
and then they move to quarter cups
starting when you're little
but then it's never enough
pepsi as a drug.
All through your childhood
inching to the top of the cup
and when it finally gets there
you've switched; a glass to now fill up.
pepsi as a drug.
And from that glass a can;
a can of your very own
but still you eye that 20 ounce
to have the cap as your very own.
pepsi as a drug.
Soon a dependency forms
you need it to stay awake
you're chugging two liters three times a day
to end your parent's mistake.
pepsi as a drug.
You end up old and diabetic
disfunctional kidneys and liver
but still you love your pepsi
soon your body wont handle all that you deliver.
pepsi as a drug.
