THE LIFE

By one of you own, just out of jail

A whole lot smarter, but broke from bail



This is “Your Life”; If you don’t say nope!

And you dedicate you life to doing dope.

Whether you snort, slam or smoke a glass dick

You sold your soul to something sick.

You won’t notice but your life will change.

You’ll become scary or something strange.

People will offer you food, thinking of your condition.

They see you tore up from malnutrition

Once again, you pass the food on the table

And go do another issue, for now you’re able.

You’ll then spin around town, thinking your cool

F**K what they think, you’re nobody’s fool!

But one by one people leave you alone

They’re starting to see the monster you’ve grown.

First it’s your friends, then your kids and your wife.

Your convinced you don’t need them, trashing your life.

Then one day you realize and finally see

They are all part of some conspiracy.

You’ll shake the thought and do another blast.

Thinking and wondering how long can this last?

What once was days, is now time of no length

Your habit rolls on, growing in strength.

What once was kicks is now too real

You get a brainstorm and think you should deal

Now all the s**t just took a nasty turn!

You jumped into the fire and you’re starting to burn!

At first you’re taken, shaken, treated like a lame.

But before too long you’re hip to the game.

You’re the only one in the world that you can trust

Now all your time is spent making the rounds

First quarters, grams, then ounces and pounds.

And now on to the last chapter of the book

You’ve decided you’re going to become the big cook.

You know in your heart it is going to be trouble.

Sitting in the lab watching the bubble

You’re now a target for the cops, feds and DEA

And knowing all this, you continue to play.

Things in “The Life” are now so f**King intense

You’re thinking, “what happened, it doesn’t make sense.”

Then one day your sitting, minding the store

When sixteen punk cops come crashing through the door.

They slam you down, put their feet in your chest

And say, “Hello, stupid, you’re under arrest!”

You know it is all over when you get to court

And there’s fifteen informants on the police report.

While you walk the yard you have time to reflect.

How your life’s become so f**Ked up and wrecked.

Then suddenly it flashes like a neon sign

Hey, brother, want another line?

Soberly you realize in your world of strife,

The price was to heavy for living “The Life”
