[Chorus]

Only when I'm drunk (only when I'm drunk)

Do I do the things I do

Do I say the things I feel

Only when I'm high (only when I'm high)

The worlds a better place

The worlds a better place


[Verse 1]

Only when I'm drunk, will you feel my real intention

It's only then, I look for what my life is missin'

All of sudden, my hood is changin'

I love my homies more and the kids I'm raisin'

Wanna buy the world, a new benz

And all them little kids, some new friends

Yeah, right now I'm too lazy to squab

Or hang with my dogs, so there ain't no one to rob

I put my mind, in good hands

I'm getting closer to the man upstairs

Through this beer can

I pour my soul out, hope the streets hear it

Wanna be as one with my spirit

I may say a lot of things, some good some bad

Wondering, where my dad, guidance never had

Chale homie, I ain't mad

Sit alone with my thoughts

Alone with my can


[Chorus]

Only when I'm drunk

Do I do the things I do

Do I say the things I feel (only when I'm drunk)

Only when I'm high (only when I'm high)

The worlds a better place

The worlds a better place


[Verse 2]

Only time I say I love her, is when I'm drinkin'

It's only then my bloodshot eyes, say what I'm thinkin'

My streets are painful, lot of things missin'

Nobody smiles no more, everybody's trippin'

If I was god, I'd blow the world up

Start all over again, so everybody wins

No more moms raising kids on they own

First rule to be a man, take care of your home

Whole lot of changing, tiempos crazy

My twelve year old neighbor got a baby

My baby daughter wants a new bike

But won't ask me till I'm full, my baby's game tight

Tried to be the best, but can't express

How I feel to those I hate, let my brew decide they fate

All of sudden, my nits got bigger

And that's when I pull the trigga, ya dig her?


[Chorus]

Only when I'm drunk (only when I'm drunk)

Do I do the things I do (only when I'm drunk)

Do I say the things I feel

Only when I'm high

The worlds a better place

The worlds a better place


[Verse 3]

After the alcohol injection, better watch this Mexican

Fuck the world and my chante with a case of Tecate

I see the truth, now I understand

We live on borrowed time, on borrowed land

Racing the clock, and what's the reward?

Always end up on the side, of a two-edge sword

I think I seen it all, now I'm bored

You can see me with my Chevy on my front porch

Only when I'm drunk, I can be what I want

Take a viaje through my cloud of marihuana

Think I'll buy a new casa for my mama

With the five rooms and three baths, pool and sauna

Threw my wife a few G's, take the kids to the mall

Anything they want, make sure they get it all

Woke up in the morning, my headache is fat

Reached in my pants, where's my fucking money at? Damn


[Chorus]

Only when I'm drunk

Do I do the things I do

Do I say the things I feel

Only when I'm high

The worlds a better place

The worlds a better place
