I heard ya playing the burn spoons in the streets with the dills
the milligram man making money but he kills
seen a couple things that would probly give you chills
needle banging like boom-bap-stead of paying bills
hollow men walk around looking like a leper, they
hit you with the pepper spray, try to take your cheque away
stab a brother in the back, it take your breath away
lying in the bed you made but you ain't left your bed today
going through the motions, double doctor doses
stop, drop, and detox yourself into convulsions
like you got a pat on the back from Vulcans
paramedics show up quick but know it's hopeless
pajama pants at the doctors
Lorazepam in your pockets
self medicated but the dose is obnoxious
goddamn the pusher-man, step into my office
and that's the way this shit goes
incognito, shooting up between your toes
half brain, stack change, crummy cash flow,
collapsed veins, back pains, bummy ass clothes,
runny ass nose, in a Civic hatchback
trying to make doe, coca in your ass crack
hand me that blow, sniffing til your abstract
fucking with your future won't help you fix the past right? no
drop knowledge on the low
get it in quick then I pull it out slow
cinnamon sticks, fucking loco
living in shit but you call it coco
kind of like a dodo
jumping off a cliff if the next man go
red and blue flashing, fuck the po po
caught up in the action, that's a no no
runny ass nose, in a Civic hatchback
trying to make doe, coca in your ass crack
hand me that blow, sniffing til your abstract
fucking with your future won't help you fix the past right? no
