lyrics
binge drinkin, pill poppin
cig smokin, but i'm still smokin
only your love could get me to quit a life of
binge drinkin, pill poppin
only your love could get me to quit a life of
cig smokin, shit i'm still smokin
what you don’t know, baby, doesn’t hurt
used to stay buzzin swerving in the lane off the syrup
to the bar where i'd pop bars, drop bars
words slurred something bout the money and the girls
and how i’m bout that, but now i’m broke as fuck, no turkey like the kurds
no curls, but at least I got my nut like a squirrel in this mad world
post apocalyptic, no prophylactics
chalk it up, no hands as she does gymnastics
spastic fits like acid kicking in her stomach
like bringing lazarus back to it yeah i'm the second coming
after, you know I stay puffin birds the size of puffin birds
stay spitting bars rawer than the way i'm fuckin h.e.r.
that’s common sense and my common scent used to be
coffee beans, strong ass trees, ciggies and some coochie
but now its just two of those, i ain’t bill fuckin murray
no broken looseys in my pocket, just green tea and chronic
my mind state too solid like beast mode outta college
though the more i learn, the less i know, i guess i'm sorta like knowledge
more than acknowledged like the coroner’s office, performing violence on my irises and sinuses
cornering markets like disorder or violence or viruses
i’m high as shit
i’m high as shit
i’m high as shit
cornering markets like disorder or violence or viruses
i’m high as shit under the influence, incongruous lightin up like filaments
iller than illnesses, off-kilter killing this, popping pills and feelin my self
my health, my wealth dwindling into thin air
i never gave a fuck but really do care
only your love could get me to quit a life of
binge drinkin, pill poppin
only your love could get me to quit a life of
cig smokin, but i'm still smokin
only your love could get me to quit a life of
binge drinkin, pill poppin
only your love could get me to quit a life of
cig smokin, shit i'm still smokin
