They repressed me from street drugs but never from
the ones with chocolate skin and a heartbeat
They told me how dope dilutes one's mind
Yet they failed to inform me that he would have the same effect
How he would bestow a heavy heart upon me
How depression will reign every time I see him with her
Momma, how come you never steered me from
the feeling of worthlessness and defeat?
Why didn't you warn me about the side effects
or tell me that he is a drug to?
