Drugs

 

Where we go

 

(verse 1)

Keep the coke on the down low

and I've seen brother when they foamed

thinking they were just getting stoned

no more dreams of chrome on the rove

no more strength to hang onto what they strove

they let drugs take the wheel and they just drove

Like these words they let it flow

I see everyday; its on the fucking shows

We watch it like children in rows

Too innocent

Cause we were early on disciplined to be common citizens

Maybe after all we aren't all so different

And the darkness in my raps, I know its evident

It aint an accident, its prevalent

Like im writing a new testament

Its time for a new reigment

That doesnt allow the od bodies

No more HIV lobbies

No more coke hobbies

Its turning the people of Vancity into a bunch of zombies

They eat the wrong meat

But just keep chewing

Supporting out of town multibillionaires who didnt give a fuck about you

This is our home

The shitty schools we cling to are very old

At lunch we raise and fold

Where do the school payments go?

How do some vices have miami dikes for wifes

and drive porsches thats bullshit it aint right

All the while

Were all too high

To do anything other than look for the bright lights

And hope we can safely take flight

No more rocks needing to be kicked

Just some dope to be smoked

Vancity

Vancouver

I know the truth hurts

We love the weed

Our city plays in different leagues

You must strive if you want to achieve

You gotta believe

 

 

(verse 2)

I really gotta say I love the weed

But this shit, it is changing me

Forever phasing me

Some think its crazing me

I spit to you from the level of the devil

Im a drug addict, recovering now making my way through life all careful

I still sip lean, smoke that green and go for a toke

No not really, coke?

Im not that type of bloke

Im the type of fighter who throws out chokes

And has to be pulled off before the bomb goes off

And all hell explodes

The place Im from it corrodes

Moody, Van

Why do they hate for having anything to do with a plant

I wanna rant

Maybe someone can spit a quick chant

About these black panted, cheap suited

Old fuckers counting ten bands,

Its easy to not worry bout the lives of others when you live in a house with 10 baths

and drive the new cadillac

this cash has gotten you fooled its not he other way around mac

I just dont understand, why nobody cares about the bodies piling up like sacks

Shouldnt you rather ask, "why do you really smoke crack?"

Many are on the wrong track

Theyre bomb strapped

Running into combat

They arent jacked

These boy have barely been scratched

Probably never downed some Jack

Ever year, newer bodies and theyre younger

Let stop selling gats

To the kids

And all the fucking grown up skids

Who just came off their bids

The jails near Port Moody

Theyre just like in the movies

Youll get cuffed and fuck

Youll get crushed and fucked

If you dont work for someone they will string you up

But this is my life

Ill never be ashamed of where I came up

I wont stop doing what im doing to make money til im paid up

 

(hook)

 

(verse 3)

I just want to see the streets cleaned up

No more fools to be methed up

The treads are cut

Lets put more focus, in another locus

Follow the dreams that dont have to do with coke heads

Anything legit to bring home that bread

I dont even know what Im thinking

Dont know what Im spitting

I might still be going to prison

still got a lot of sinning

to do

A lot of things to prove

A lot of people to remove

Even if you disprove

The city Im from

Im proud

Ill spit this loud

Then throw the haters into the crowd

Let them eat your insides til ur hollowed out

Only after does follow your shouts

You can bump to my shit on repeat until your soul gives out

Only then will our roles be filled out

Me, a youngan looking for bands

Doing everything I can

Selling any I cant

There isnt much left that I shant

Just keep the rolly filters damp

And keep enjoying the camp

The tall trees, looming over me

The wilderness, as consuming as the sea

Go to west and see the ocean of P

Dont swim in it unless you wan to get HIV

I was sick for weeks

It took me months to see

And years to learn

Which streets to use

And which blocks to burn

They say Im cursed

Condemned forever to work under Earths curves

Among earthworms

The bugs down hear are like fucking herps

I gotta say though

I openly chose this life, I was not coerced

Why or quite how I dont care to verse

I just wanna say i could much worse

If not for all the nice words

And all the tight birds

And all the pipe turns

The weed baby, thats what makes the earth turn

Now its your turn

Go and make it

Out of your city, rise above the pavement

If you got a dream save it

But always respect

And always represent

Your home is yours, the reason your you

Any good you've done spawns from there too

The darkness brings the brightness in play too

Im still with the same crew

Pomo squad forever till die

Your daily reminders of the shit we went through

I love you

 

Rest

these dead homies from drugs on the streets

Shout out to the king for this beat
