Myself a Bean

I live my life sober and clean
but once was called a bean

I started with promise and hope 
then found myself drowning in dope

I smoked a dart from a pack I found 
that led me to joint just to be sound 

I made friends with a bottle I bought
only to find them gone after we fought 

I tried mushrooms for giggles and fun
then to lcd to talk to the earth and sun 

I get bored and like to move a lot 
so Crystal was great so I thought 

I finally found a bag of cocaine
she's the devil I named caine 

I cut my first line with a knife 
then vowed to make her my wife 

I tried to run from her sweet smell 
only to find myself under her spell

I worked hard day and night 
just for her love with no fight

I chopped my lines every hour
enjoy life with a new superpower

I went one day to share my one love
to a woman who fit me like a glove

I woke up in pain no later then noon
to my women with my caine in a spoon

I watched her whip something sweet
with a flame I'll try this new treat 

I was mesmerized and in love again
with a pipe that looked just like a pen

I managed my love with a new routine
with friends and family calling me a Bean 

I finally ran away from my two wives 
but not until I drained many lives 

I stand here today sober and clean 
but still think of myself as a Bean.
