Sometimes life is just not meant for
some that are born with too much shine.
Sometimes life ain't good enough...
They get to leave this all behind.
I'm not saying I don't like living...
What don't kill us, makes us stronger.
Is that really true, and if so prove it.
Maybe they'd stick around a little longer.
The irony of the tough guy act
when it can all end in the blink
of an eye.
Maybe your gin and tonic will be
the culprit in finding out how you died.
I wish that people would think a lot more
clearly before they drink and ride.
Now he's wasting away in jail...
Denied bail, suicide.
The bottle lies when your down and
lonely, It exploits you when you're weak.
It's strange, how they can change
If only they would watch what kind of
comfort they seek.
You're completely deranged if you're
thinking that this stuff can
never happen to you.
Time to turn another page...
No more monkey see, monkey do.

You got ears so won't you listen.
Stop tweakin'. I'm speakin'.
Now the grounds not all you're kissin'...
It seems that your body is leakin'.
Peakin' out... Eyes dilated from
Living your life on the edge.
I'm speaking out, the prize is denied
if you step off of that ledge.
Time to find another route...
There's danger. There's danger!
This what mama warned about...
No candy, from strangers.
Keep your speed at sixty-five.
Heed this message, don't
take no jive.
Always look before you dive.
Arrive alive and don't drink and drive.

So much life gets spent on chasing
things that seem devine.
Sometimes what's not meant to
have can make a fool go blind.
I'm not playing, I'm trying to advise
those that are a little younger than me.
Listen to these words I'm spraying,
Don't be such a bummer there G.
That's why I smoke the cronic. I get me
a thick sack of bud that is not too dry.
This shit here's bubonic... but I gotta cut
back cause I get way to high.
I wish that people would learn what
they fear is only because it's unknown.
It's unclear how many years we shed
tears... When death claims one of our own.
See through the disguise, it can
only fool you if your will is weak.
Word to the wise, watch out for
phoney fukks that twist up words
you speak.
How could I be angry atchya.
It's not your fault that you're gone.
But somehow, I am mad
because you left me here alone.

Too much beer, I can't stop pissin'.
It's reekin'. I'm the wee wee king.
I got years I think I'm missin'.
What week is it? What car did I bring?
Sneaking out, a child lies and tells
their mom and dad goodnight.
Freaking out! That child died.
An innocent victim from another
gang fight.
Grieving mother's scream and shout.
It ain't fair! It ain't fair!
What's this screaming all about!
No one really cares.
Died at six at sixty-five.
Did all we could, to keep him alive.
Keep this in mind if you wanna survive.
Arrive alive and don't drink and drive.
