| I don’t know where to begin, or where to start
|
| All I know is I broke my mother heart
|
| It started way back with a little weed
|
| Then it grew into acid, coke and speed
|
| I became that monster with a need to feed
|
| Was it greed? |
| No, I just needed to freeze
|
| Then I dibbled in this, then I dabbled in that
|
| Then the next thing you know, I was exposed to crack
|
| And I guess curiosity killed the cat
|
| And the way that it look, ain’t no turning back
|
| And I used to have the hook up, g’sll splurge
|
| Now, I just cook up to feed my herbs
|
| Now, people just look up, like he’s the third
|
| Cuz he walk around town like he’s a bird
|
| Instead of money it was drugs that he prefered
|
| Say no to the substance, heed my words
|
| I don’t love the drugs, drugs love me
|
| It’s the coke, and the weed, and the ecstasy
|
| It’s a terrible disease, that go down down deep
|
| And all day long it be calling me
|
| My father, he had dope fiend arms
|
| Lord, thank you Jesus, thank you Jesus for moms
|
| Damn, I did her wrong, not a pot to piss in
|
| And the, TV’s missing, couldn’t stop the addiction
|
| Damn, that cause friction, I broke the trust
|
| Huh, how could I tell her that I smoked it up
|
| And I smoked the red dust, to fight the demons
|
| And I need a head rush, cuz tonight I’m fiending
|
| Not for the nicotine, the pipe I’m screaming
|
| And the monkey on my back, can’t fight the feeling
|
| And I did a robbery, I broke the clip
|
| And I caught a lottery ticket and smoked the dip
|
| Life fucked up, nigga, I choked my bitch
|
| Police tried to cuff me and I broke the stick
|
| I’m as low as I can get, low as I can get, nigga
|
| Low, low, need another hit, nigga
|
| I love getting high, throwing dick to dames
|
| Lived life to the fullest like my name Rick James
|
| I don’t know what’s more addictive, the chicks, the fame
|
| Damn, I done shamed my family name
|
| One foot in the rain, one foot in the flame
|
| Ugh, rich or poor, whatever you call it
|
| I’m a cigarette smoker, two sips from alcoholic
|
| Got to change my ways, flush drugs down the toilet |
