[Intro]

Man, growing up

And walking to school in the morning

I used to see these dudes out selling dope

I used to look at them the same way I looked

At the dudes they were selling the dope to

I could never quite figure out which one was the

Fiend

[Verse 1]

I was a terror since the public school era

Consumed with thoughts of cheddar

Foreigns with the leather

Teachers changed my name

Start calling me 6th letter

I said,"If you were a beside me, it'll

Sound a little better chick."

Flip a brick, flip a brick, whip your wrist like this

Turn around and get rich

That was the way to get

Couple thousand dollars real quick

Buy some fresh new airs and a couple outfits

Got this small gold chain, but there's nothing on my wrist

40 cal on my hip, you don't wanna get hit

Yeah, don't try the young guy with a very tight grip

And loose screws that got

Something to prove and a couple rounds of spit with

Life and death

He feels it's nothing to choose

He views em' one of the same

Have you ever seen the veins of a fiend

With gold in the syringe, in the dirt

All day he scared to get clean

[Hook]

And now, I'm looking at my life

Through the eyes of my fears, but I don't see danger

I'm looking at my wife and her eyes full of tears

Told me she see stranger

Aeoh baby! I'm a fiend (can't help it)

Aeoh baby! I'm a fiend (so selfish)

Yeah yeah baby! I'm a fiend (can't help it)

Aeoh baby! whether give or take at the end of the day

I'm just a fiend

[Verse 2]

Uhh, I'm here before the sunrise

Been ten years and I can't look at my son's eyes

I was scared so after hearing my son's cries

I left his mother with no note

She feeds my son lies

"Your daddy died in Iraq

While serving our country

And he's never coming back."

It would be kinda awkward if he stuck to the facts

"Your daddy's absent because your daddy's on crack."

I'm glad he ain't around to see how he would react

I don't even have the nerve

Wait I got another urge...

*snort* *cough* *cough*

See I'm a..

I ain't even got the words

For me to quit now

That would be absurd

I can't can't see clear

So the lines is blurred

Life looks like death

And death looks like life

When I get this low that's when the high occurs

I'm a fiend

I can't help it

Life I can't take it

Death, I can't cheat it

This pain I can't fake it

I tried

At times, I'm so high I can't make it

Back to ground zero

My soul has been taken

Innocent and naked

That's how I entered earth

The great birth to this nightmare

Was awakened so now

My ghost'll find me a tomb that reads vacant

And spend my forever

Take my life as payment

Take my life as payment

Take my life as payment

[Hook]
