Coca-cola has the taste you never get tired of, always refreshing, thats why things go better with coke after coke after joke
Is this a joke
Cola-Coke
I musta mispoke
Coke.
Blow your smoke
and my heart evoke
Mr. Coke
Mr. Coke
Strong as an oak
I swear, you tryna provoke

I’m being short-changed
Changed by the pain
of empty wallets and weight gain
Is this the dope or just coke in my
Brain veins
Cause I swear e’re time it rains

I get a little bit stickier
with that sugar sweet
fresh, ahhhhh
taste you just can’t beat
Without a drink
my meal ain’t complete

I trick or treat
for that bittersweet
flavor that makes my heart wanna beat
Say bye, wave hi to e’re passerby that I meet
I’m incomplete
Is what they want me to think

And so i drink
I drink and I'm
filled
I drink and I’m
thrilled

Just to be a little part in their bigger party
Seein only things that they want me to see
I nod to agree
I read the marquee
Lock down and guarantee
But I’m still nobody

Nobody to you
and nobody to me
and now I see
they WANT me to spend money

But I’ll spell it out for you

M-O-N-E-(WHY)
do I buy things
I feel a certain way
Why do I buy things
I had a bad day

I think I buy cause I’m worthess
gotta validate and purchase my purpose
And coke’s throwin me inna circus
of life, liberty and the pursuit of happy times
But it's hard to pay your way with nickels and dimes

but I can refund this bottle for 5 cents
or break it, and it be my defense
How does that make sense
Now I’m on the fence
Do I buy another bottle
or a six-pack for the road
I don’t really know
when it comes to cola-coke

coca-cola
sugar sweet
can’t be beat
Will that be debit or credit
Our chip reader doesn’t work
See you tomorrow
Mr. Coke

It starts with coffee then it spins out of control
My thirst has taken a hold only one sip is never enough
It don't matter if it is Kool Aid or ice tea you will regret inviting me
I am Thirsty can't you see, my thirst is ravenous
You might think my bladder is cavernous


I will drink all the Hot Chocolate in sight, believe me do not doubt
I move on to Lemonade, In a large amount, sorry that I drank the whole pitcher, I was just so thirsty
My eyes have seen soda, that is a sparkling delight, I'm sorry that I lost all control, the soda just tasted so good
I am still thirsty , I ask you what is left, "You tell me just water"
I say that is fine; I think to myself as thirsty as I am good thing it is not wine.
I drink the water it tastes good when I am thirsty
I need to caution you my friends, If the lake or river near you suddenly disappears it could be because of me being Thirsty
I wrote this thinking about how my friends have teased me about my thirst.
