Getcha Mind Right - Intellectual

[Intro]

They say we drink at a young age

You got to be at least 18 years old to be trusted in this game

Man, I been drinkin’ since I turned 14

Shit I watched my nan die, overdose on morphine

Now I’m all grown up, I’m still in love with the drink

But lately I see it suppressing the thoughts that I think

And I realise what I can’t have I don’t really want

Then I turn around, there’s another liquor shop

What’s up?

It’s got to be somebodies fault

People buyin’ flagons of port with their last cent from the dole

Plus I got mates done D.U.I. multiple times

No lessons learnt or taught, they just coppin’ a fine

What’s goin’ on in our minds

When I’m not drunk it’s the only thing I can think about, come on tell me why

I came to this conclusion drinking whiskey and rye

Maybe there’s too many liquor shops and that’s the real crime

Getcha mind right (Getcha getcha mind right)

Getcha mind right (You gotta getcha mind right)

Getcha mind right (I’m tryin’ to get my mind right)

Getcha mind right (Getcha getcha mind right)

As I grab another brew from the fridge

I wonder why I can't afford fresh fruit for my kids

It's ok I can drive I only had a few sips

Everything that pass through my lips is bullshit

I'm an alcoholic but I don't go to meetings

I went to a few, enough to get the keyring

I think my brain is sick on some major shit

Just lay the blame on the drink then take a sip

Have a drink for your birthday

Drink ‘cause it's Thursday

It only comes once a week, let's celebrate

They say It's a passage of right, a coming of age

It's part of our culture, always been that way

And I'm a slave, but I hate the way it make me behave

Plus my doctor say I'm headin' for an early grave

They sponsoring our sportsmen, celebrity endorsements

How can I compete with liquor stores on every corner
