Guess what?I ain’t coming in yetI’ll come in in a minuteAyo this is my love songIt goes like this
Back when Mark Wahlberg was Marky MarkThis is how we used to make the party startWe used to mix hen’ with Bacardi DarkAnd when it kicks in you can hardly talkAnd by the sixth gin you gon’ probably crawlAnd you’ll be sick then and you’ll probably barfAnd my prediction is you gon’ probably fallEither somewhere in the lobby or the hallway wallAnd everything’s spinnin’You’re beginning to think women are swimmin in pink linenAgain in the sinkThen in a couple of minutes that bottle of Guinness is finishedYou are now allowed to officially slap bitchesYou have the right to remain violent and start wildin’Start a fight with the same guy that was smart eyein’ youGet in the car and start it and start drivin’Over the island and ’cause a 42 car pile upEarth calling, pilot to co-pilotLooking for life on this planet sir, no sign of itAll i could see is a bunch of smoke flyin’And I’m so high that I might die if I go by itLet me out of this place I’m outta placeI’m in in outter space, I’ve just vanished without a traceI’m going to a pretty place now where the flowers growI’ll be back in an hour or so
‘Cause every time I go to try to leaveSomethin’ keeps pullin’ on my sleeveI dont wanna but I gotta stayThese drugs really gotta hold on me‘Cause everytime I try ta tell ’em noThey won’t let me ever let ’em goI’m a sucker all I gotta sayIs drugs really gotta hold on me?
In third grade all I used to doWas sniff glue through a tube and play rubix cubeSeventeen years later I’m as rude as youSchemein on the first chick with the hugest boobsI got no game and every face looks the sameThey got no name so i don’t need game to playI just say whatever I want, to whoever I wantWhenever i want, wherever I want, however I wantHowever I do show some respect to fewThis ecstacy has got me standin’ next to youGettin’ sentimental as fuck, spillin’ guts to youWe just met but I think I’m in love with youBut you’re on it too so you tell me you love me tooWake up in the morning like “Yo what the fuck we do?”I gotta go bitch, you know I got stuff to do‘Cause if I get caught cheatin’ then I’m stuck with youBut in the long run these drugs are probably gonna catch up sooner or laterBut fuck it I’m on one so let’s enjoyLet the X destroy your spinal chordSo it’s not a straight line no moreSo we walk around lookin’ like some windup dollsShit stickin’ out of our backs like a dinosaurShit six hits won’t even get me high no moreSo bye for now I’m gonna try to find some more
‘Cause every time I go to try to leaveSomethin’ keeps pullin’ on my sleeveI dont wanna but I gotta stayThese drugs really gotta hold on me‘Cause everytime I try ta tell ’em noThey won’t let me ever let ’em goI’m a sucker all I gotta sayIs drugs really gotta hold on me?
That’s the sound of a bottle when it’s hollowWhen you swallow it allWallow and drown in your sorrowAnd tomorrow your probably gonna wanna do it againWhat’s a little spinal fluid between you and a friend, screw itAnd what’s a little bit of alcohol poisoning?And what’s a little fight?Tomorrow you’ll be boys againIt’s your life live it however you wannaMarijuana is everywhere, where was you brought up?It don’t matter as long as you get where you’re goin’‘Cause none of this shit’s gonna mean shit where we’re goin’They tell you to stop but you just sit there ignorin’Even though you wake up feelin’ like shit every morningBut your young you got a lot of drugs to doGirls to screw, parties to crash, sucks to be youIf I could take it all back now I wouldn’tI would’ve did more shit that people said that I shouldntBut I’m all grown up now and upgradedAnd graduated to better drugs and updatedBut I still gotta a lot of growin’ up to doI still gotta whole lot of throwin’ up to spewBut when it’s all said and done before I know itI’ll be forty with a forty on the porch tellin’ storiesWith a bottle of Jack, two grandkids on my lapBabysitting for Hailie, while Hailie’s out gettin’ smashed
‘Cause every time I go to try to leaveSomethin’ keeps pullin’ on my sleeveI dont wanna but I gotta stayThese drugs really gotta hold on meCause everytime I try ta tell ’em noThey won’t let me ever let ’em goI’m a sucker all I gotta sayIs drugs really gotta hold on me?
‘Cause every time I go to try to leaveSomethin’ keeps pullin’ on my sleeveI dont wanna but I gotta stayThese drugs really gotta hold on meCause everytime I try ta tell ’em noThey won’t let me ever let ’em goI’m a sucker all I gotta sayIs drugs really gotta hold on me?
Drugs really got a hold on meReally got a hold on me‘Cause drugs really got a hold on meThey really got a hold on me
