addictions



today is nothing but tomorrows past
yesterdays over, todays a new chance
want to stop but they can't, their minds taken over
like a glass stem, copper, and crack to a smoker
like herion, and the needle they stick in their vein
knowing that one fix will stop the pain
alot of people die, even more are just hooked
some have survived, while others are booked
some people smoke wet, just to fell numb
some people smoke weed just for the fun
people pop xanax just to forget
pain pills like oxys, vicodine and percocet
coke and meth make the day speed by
all thaT MONEY FOR A 10 MINUTE HIGH
SIPPING PROMETH MAKE EVERYTING SLOWER
MOST THAT ARE HOOKED WISH THEY COULD BE SOBER
ALL OF THESE DRUGS CAUSE SO MANY PROBLEMS
BREAKING UP FAMILIES, PROSTITUTION, AND VIOLENCE
ROBBERY MURDER ACCIDENTAL DEATH
ADDICTS ARE PEOPLE WHO FEEL THERE IS NOTHING LEFT
