When I was a kid all I wanted to do was smoke **** But nowadays its harder stuff that my body really needs In my teenage yeas smoking on a spliff It would seem to be a substantial lift Before long though my depression took hold Alcohol and cigarettes making me look old I fell into a bad crowd, moving drugs that were illicit My life moving so fast I probably could have missed it MDMA in my system and I felt so loved Ecstasy wasn't enough to see God above I experimented with psychedelics and I had a real ball But my habits got deeper, and my friends, I lost them all I turned to the streets to pay for my increasing routines But my job on the street interferes with my dreams So now I'm just a shadow of my former self A syringe smiles at me from the bottom shelf Sometimes I need a little bump just to get my mind right But often times a bump can turn into a wild night Sometimes I need to get level with some golden dope But too much of that **** and my life can lose all hope I often wonder if my life would be alright If I was never molested on that dreary night
