[Intro]

Smoking weed and say your prayers

Liquor stores are everywhere

Wonder if they ever cared?


[Verse 1]

I live in the fast lane, committed so I cut off the brake line

Ain't with the gossip, fuck what you done heard from the grapevine

Dreaming so I had the vision I had to get it

Nights with the baddest women, couple of bad decisions

Feeling in the city, nights turn to early mornings

Mama prayin' for us, we ignored the early warnings

On the run from the war the prеacher called me up to pray

Askеd me if I'll ever change, I told him "Not today"

I've been living like this for too long

I don't know if I'll ever move on

Same old beat but it's a new song

Paranoid so I sleep with my shoes on


[Chorus]

I just want my last joint, tell me what's the point 'cause I'm still fucked up

I've been living in a codeine dream but this lean can't fill me up

No matter what, it's all the same

It's not enough to kill my pain

I just want my last joint, tell me what's the point 'cause I'm still fucked up

No matter what, it's all the same


[Verse 2]

Fill the paper with reefer then go and hit the liquor store

That bottle and Mary Jane's the only friend I know

I had people I love that I end up burying

How'd they go from popping pills to shooting heroine?

Thinkin' 'bout my partner, I'm standing at his grave

I'm tryna tell his mama "It's gon' be okay"

What do you say when somebody's so heart-broke?

Their rent's past due and they're late on their car note?

I've been through it

I keep looking for the light at the end of the tunnel

It's my life and I'm the type that keeps fighting the struggle

Since a youngin, always found my way right to the trouble

I think the storm's coming, I feel lightning and thunder


[Chorus]

I just want my last joint, tell me what's the point 'cause I'm still fucked up

I've been living in a codeine dream but this lean can't fill me up

No matter what, it's all the same

It's not enough to kill my pain

I just want my last joint, tell me what's the point 'cause I'm still fucked up

I've been living in a codeine dream but this lean can't fill me up

No matter what, it's all the same

It's not enough to kill my pain
