Message To The Past

Listen, kid, I've had the privilege of witnessing what's ahead/

and if you're interested I'll let you in on what to expect./

Better yet I could put visuals into your head/

Show you down a road that exposes all of the truth instead./

Mentally clueless though you think you do your best./

The test you're close to going through takes you too close to death./

Smoking is the first stupid move on a foolish path./

Focused on skipping school not bothered with passing a class./

No college for teenage fathers need dollars fast./

Problem is a body shop job ain't a lot of cash./

The green you hold in your pocket is smoked to cope with stress./

Broke as hell, in debt, living home, and hopelessly depressed./

Stick around don't chicken out when feeling down./

Why sit around and pout? Figure out how to devour doubt./

If the road is blocked go try to find a way around/

or take another route. Climb a mountain over backing down./

 

In the end, we become better through reflection./

Where regrets suddenly turn into lessons./

Success couldn't exist without rejection./

Experience is meant to correct what we're neglecting./

In the end, we become better through reflection./

Where regrets suddenly turn into lessons./

Success couldn't exist without rejection./

Experience is meant to help us find the right direction./

 

You're feeling great when that Percocet is kicking in./

No fear to take it further. You keep your intentions innocent./

A day away makes you a nervous wreck. Feeling sick./

Interesting how quickly innocence turns into "get a fix"./

You up the script from popping one to snorting six. /

Crystal clear but still won't admit addiction to shit ./

Within a year, no pill is adequate to do the trick./

adding up your annual habit forces you toward a switch./

Itch for H, like it's a case of poison I.V./

It's blinding. Euphorically I'm climbing. flying ./

Rising high enough that gravity don't like me./

Living wrong is what taught my mind to start thinking wisely./

Stick around don't chicken out when feeling down./

Why sit around and pout? Figure out how to devour doubt./

If the road is blocked go try to find a way around/
