An Addict's Plea

tanding with my own reflection, looking to find a way--

Staring into my own eyes, wondering wat I can say--

The words I choose don't matter, the meanings could go astray

Even if I choose to hear wtf I got to say--

Square up so I kno your listening, stare me straight in my face--

Who knows if the time will come again where we are standing in this place--

Shut up and just listen quit thinking you know better--

You need to hear what I got to say, remember it to the letter--

These drugs you do don't help you, stop lying to yourself--

These people around don't give a fuck, only looking out for self--

The money comes, but what do you have to show?--

The stress and complications will only continue to grow--

You think it's all good, think you got everyone guessing--

But everyone see through you, time to step back and see the lesson--

The distance is growing between you and where you tryna be

The world's not shytting on you, bro your problem is me--

Or we, we can't seem to get it together--

Clinging to this shyt, when it was never suppose to be forever--

It's not to late you still got much to lose.

Just remember it's you you need to #everyaddictmatters
