Traded It All In

I see you at the methadone clinic,
in it to win it
you got a long life ahead 
but only ten minutes to live it
I know it seemed like you had a lot more at the begining
but u went and traded it in for a heroin addiction
scabs lace the skin,
your face deminished and thinning
you dropped the ball again
and you ain't even finished the first inning
