THIS IS THE LIFE IF YOU DON'T SAY NOPE, AND DEDICATE YOUR LIFE TO JUST DOING DOPE.

WHETHER YOU SLAM, SNORT, OR SMOKE THE GLASS DICK, YOU HAVE ALREADY SOLD YOUR SOUL TO SOMETHING SICK

YOU MAY NOT NOTICE BUT YOUR LIFE WILL CHANGE, YOU BECOME SCARY AND START TO ACT STRANGE.

PEOPLE OFFER YOU FOOD WHEN THEY SEE YOUR CONDITION, THEY SEE YOUR TORE UP FROM MALNUTRITION

LIKE A FOOL YOU PASS UP THE FOOD ON THE TABLE, TO FILL UP YOUR PIPE CAUSE NOW YOU ARE ABLE

YOU SPIN AROUND TOWN THINKING YOUR COOL, DON'T CARE WHAT THEY THINK, YOU'RE NOBODYS FOOL

NOW ONE BY ONE PEOPLE LEAVE YOU ALONE, NOW THEY SEE THE MONSTER YOU HAVE GROWN

YOUR FRIENDS, YOUR FAMILY, THEN IT'S YOUR HUSBAND OR WIFE, CONVINCED YOU DON'T NEED THEM YOUR TRASHING YOUR LIFE

THEN IT HAPPENS ONE DAY YOUR START TO SEE, YOU THINK THEY'RE ALL A BIG CONSPIRACY

NOW YOU SHAKE THE THOUGHT DO ANOTHER BLAST, THINKING AND WONDERING "HOW LONG WILL THIS LAST"

IT USED TO BE DAYS, NOW TIME HAS NO LENGTH, YOUR HABIT HAS ROSE, IT'S GROWING IN STRENGTH

IT USED TO BE KICKS, NOW IT IS TOTALLY REAL, YOU GET A BRAINSTORM, AND START TO DEAL

LIFE TAKES A NASTY TURN, YOU'RE JUMPING IN WHERE IT'S HOT AND STARTING TO BURN

YOUR TAKEN AND SHAKEN, TREATED LIKE A LAME, IT DOESN'T TAKE LONG, YOUR HIP TO THE GAME

FIRST THING YOU REALIZE, THIS IS A MUST, OUT THERE ABSOLUTELY NO ONE YOU CAN TRUST

MAKING THE ROUNDS, FIRST GRAMS AND THEN POUNDS

THE LAST CHAPTER OF THE BOOK, NOW YOU'VE DECIDED TO BECOME THE COOK

KNOWING IN YOUR HEART "IT'S GONNA BE TROUBLE" SITTING IN THE LAB JUST WATCHING THE BUBBLES

NOW YOUR A TARGET TO COPS, FEDS AND DEA, INSPITE OF THIS, YOU CONTINUE TO PLAY

YOUR LIFE'S SO INTENSE! WONDERING WHAT HAPPENED? "IT MAKES NO SENSE"

YOUR KICKING BACK MINDING THE STORE,WHEN HERE COMES THE COPS CRASHING THE DOOR!

THEY SLAM YOU DOWN PUT THIER FOOT IN YOUR CHEST, AND SAY "DON'T F*****G MOVE YOUR UNDER ARREST"

NOW IT'S ALL OVER, AND YOU GO TO COURT, YOUR FRIENDS ARE INFORMANTS IN THE POLICE REPORTS

WHILE YOU WALK THE MAIN YARD, YOU HAVE TIME TO REFLECT, NOW YOUR LIFE HAS BECOME SO SCREWED-UP AND WRECKED

SUDDENLY IT FLASHES LIKE A BIG NEON SIGN, THIS ALL HAPPENED BEHIND THE FIRST F*****G LINE

NOW SOBERLY YOUR REALIZE THE WORLD OF STRIFE, AND THAT YOU ARE PAYING THE PRICE FOR LIVING "THE LIFE"
