Verse 1:

First time I tried cocaine I was fifteen

Got hooked and it took forever to get clean

Looked around and all of my friends were sick feigns

Drugs made life good no matter how fucked shit seemed

Before I knew it I was sellin all my nice things

Xbox, dvds, dope chains and iced rings

Shot down opportunities for help that life brings

Thought if I was happy on drugs then its the right thing

All of a sudden people noticed that I lost weight

I never took the time to think if I had not ate

I needed to be saved cuz I never thought straight

Thought if i died, at least I'd be suffering God's fate

All of sudden, my dad gave an intervention

Took control of my life like I'm under aprehension

Drugs became the only thing that I would mention

But he helped me find on this earth, my own heaven

Chorus:

This drug won't work, I hope there's a new invention

I guess you could say that I need an intervention

Need control of my life like I'm under aprehension

I guess you could say that I need an intervention

Verse 2:

I took my first sip of alcohol at fourteen

Around the same time my parents were divorcing

Inside me a bomb went off like a war scene

So I drank whatever liquor that I could afford me

I drank so much that I dropped out of high-school

Had no money but was still thinking that I'm cool

One time I even drank for about a week straight

God damnit man the helpin that I needs great

Drinking all the time helps mask what I saw

Watching my parents fight, I wanna rip out my eyeballs

Inside my head somethin went on like a light bulb

Realized if I fuck my life up that it's my fault

Got off the bottle but I didn't go to A.A

Started smoking weed all day so I could stay straight

I still think about it every time the day breaks

But I got the self control I need to stay straight

Chorus

Verse 3:

I tried ex for the first time at thirteen

Dad told me he was splittin wit moms and it hurt me

Felt everyone was my friend and it first seemed

That I possessed strength equivalent to Hercules

Me and my friends would stay up all night spittin rhymes

Pop a few pills, crush one up and sniff some lines

It was like it unlocked a key to a different mind

Everything I dropped off the top was as sick as swine

All of a sudden I wasn't happy unless I's high

The things I did wrong haunted me and stressed my mind

Needed help but shunned one of the best I'd find

Tried to drink while I was on it and got arrested twice

When substance abuse becomes the only thing you mention

It's probly safe to say that you need an intervention

Need control in your life like you facing aprehension

Hard to do when drugs bring on new dimensions

Chorus
