Dope - Intellectual

[Intro]

You don't always get what you paid for

You probably started doing this to take away the pain, but instead you made more

Listen, I've had enough of your lies. You're nodding off in public

Pupils often little pinholes, sockets permanently sunken

Wishing that I could be there just to soften up the punches

From the path you chose to take. You're not the person I grew up with

And I swear to god if I was there the first day you made that decision

I woulda been the one to knock you thе fuck up outta that hell you lived in

What a pity you had to give in to thе poison in your system. It's a prison

I'd break you out if I could and make every single sin forgiven

Not religiously but turn back the clock and reverse the process

I would rewrite history if I could have my friend back and that's a promise

But you're gone. Never coming back and it feels so wrong

I want you to see the pictures I paint but you couldn't even see where the line was drawn

You were supposed to guide me, but how can you do that living life blindly?

I hope your psyche's fine but coming back in my life is highly unlikely

I'm so sorry. I will not be a part of the pity party

Something sucked the stars up out of the hole of a soul that used to be hearty

You taught me how to unwind, decompress the stress and have a good time

And now I'm supposed to be fine with watching you die right in front of my eyes?

No thank you. I don't take too kindly to people that can't be grateful

I have my own set of issues to deal with and gotta make sure I'm stable

But I'm not, because I've lost too many friends to drugs and bad thoughts

I never forgot the day I found you unconscious in that empty lot

If I'm not mistaken it was around the same time we decided to call up your father and mother

There's no worse feeling than telling a parent "Your son's in the gutter. He didn't recover."

It didn't do any good harassing you, so we did what we had to do

This is a matter of life and death, not just another habit. It's bad for you
