Addiction

Jerry Joyner 1984 (Florida)




It starts with a little weed,
It's so good nothing could come between you and that green,
But then comes that pill,
You feel like u can push raw steel,No one told ya bout the down hill,withdraws,body aches and pains and being ILL,after all that you decide to try crack,you think man f*ck that,that shits whack,
Watch out cocaine it's got u in the fast lane,wide eyed and feeling insane, but it soon goes downhill, you start to think you might be insane cause you cant contain,
When u think you've done it all
Here comes METH,
Look at the pipe and think what the heck, I done them all, meth can't be that strong,after the first hit you think damn I was wrong,
Now it keeps pulling me along,
You thought u was strong,
You was wrong,you will rob,steal,cheat and lie to get the next high.
