tell me are you listening and over the influences...
I wanna get you all as drunk as me
do it...my misery loves company
we say that...the more the merrier so come with me
so go head, we breedin some similarity
associate
(keep it goin)
procreate
(keep it goin)
and have some babies and make em feel like mistakes
(you can do it)
what you waiting for
(you don’t really need)
the case in point
oh...
ok then, say no more
Verse 1 - (Alcohol)
you can tell the friends from fiends when they show who they really r
drink you under the table, right next to the minibar
...drain you, make you feel ashamed to
aspire to be on a higher plane, they’ll blame you
wait, do you mean to tell me you really believe
that i’m fatigued from the heat
when i’m really intrigued by the sun?
and many stars, cuz i respect your opinion and all
but you can miss me with the vitriol
that shoe don’t fit me at all
why you want me to fall?
i know that we’ve been brothers
is this united we fall? are we like lehman brothers?
or are we smiff and wessun?
cuz i was under the impression
that we shine, but you say you don’t see the luster
I’m saying that It’ll show when you wait patiently to buffer
we both hustle we don’t want our familys to suffer
you’re fighting the good fight, we tag team,
just know i got your back when you need to recover
Chorus 2 (Weed)
I wanna see you all as high as me, so puff it...
Verse 2
well i hope you feel secure now strapped in a stretcher
just another victim on that whack peer pressure
you saying you'd never fold, I bet you wont remember
guess you hit a slippery slope and then you lost your center
balance is a challenge who you tellin like i havent
been in similar situations i can imagine
falling prey to scavengers that grab you with the talons
drag you by your fears and then chain you to the bandwagon
i tell you i’m saddened cuz i feel i know what happened
they offered a meal and you forgot why you were fasting
...you see see? the carbon copy action
real recognize real like blind folks read captions
we echo what we see, (what we see) like monkey see
aint even notice that misery was your company
tell me who let them in, i know it wasnt me
oh, your minds a garden? guess they snuck in thru the shrubbery
Chorus
I wanna see you all as dumb as me, so take this...
3rd Verse - (Pills)
help me out for a second, remind me bout this one pill
i’m not sure which pain this one’s supposed to kill
i think my life is painful, or is that overkill
the roof is on fire, why don’t yall know the drillllllllllll
illlilll...that’s when the ocean spills
....because we’re not 'shore', but we swallow still like what’d you bring this water for?
...and it’s a bitter pill, I know, But maybe its worth it if to skip the sorrow
and now Im thinking it's perfect if I never see tomorrow
Cuz I'm dreading the chance that life can get even harder
these the last words of a backseat driver, before the crash happened
lucky the angel had it fastened
but then once we got settled
you brought more weed and liquor in, oh speak of the devil
tantalize...fantasize, you make it seem like you was never once camera shy
i know ...i make it hard to empathize
but still
even if you don't take a hit
then you still gonna catch a 2nd hand contact
getting buzzed by a 2nd hand contact
get indulged in that 2nd hand contact
this is 2nd hand smoke
even if you won't take a hit
then you still gonna catch a 2nd hand contact
getting high from that 2nd hand contact
get indulged in that 2nd hand contact
