Analysis of Finding my soul again

Ladell 1990 (Baltimore, MD)



I am lost
I am utterly and completely lost
I don't know left from right
Up from down
In from out
I am lost

I am sauced
I am utterly and completely sauced
I drinking from day to night
I like I love the royal crown
Alcohol is all I'm about
I am sauced

I trying to break this vicious cycle
Of treating Alcohol like the Bible
Losing myself through life bs
Because I am blessed
Because I can realize there more to life
When I find me it will be sight
