A friend of mine was just a normal guy
He lived his life just like the rest of us he seemed alright
We worked together back in high school
McDonald's in the drive through
It wasn't nothing doing lines in the bathroom
Then my friend he moved on to something different
The weed just wouldn't do it so he start poppin prescriptions
His mom finally confronted him cuz her pills were always missing
So he ran away from home because he didn't know how to deal with it
Now he's all alone
Tryna fund his own addiction
Talking to his friends but nobody Tryna listen
Won't nobody give him pills so he started itchin
Went and bought a needle took the metro to the west end
Met another soldier who was out there on the battle field
Tought him how to heat the spoon and break it down its gettin real
This was now the first time it was in his veins
Now he knew his life it wouldn't ever be the same
Fast forward mama let him in the house
He found himself a girl friend now he started going out
Things were going well and he seemed to be together
But he couldn't seem to fix what had him shaking feeling tender
I remember just a week ago saw him on the weekend
He was Actin all cool poppin bottles to the ceiling
But under cover you could tell that he was fiending after that
I got the call a couple days later couldn't believe It
Now he's lying in the dirt because of arrogance
Or ingornance but who's the stupid muther f*cker out her selling people heroin
This the shit that's really going on not even playing if I ever see a dealer
I'm a f*ck around and spray em I'm for real
I'm sick of all these people dying
There just as young as me what the f*ck makes me so lucky
I was dumb enough try
Why'd I get to make it out
The f*ck did I survive it
I'm for real
