Prompt / Lyrics
Used to nod off sitting at red lights, then the lights Would turn green and I’d just sit there making Everyone mean! Cars would honk their horns at me to hurry up and go Little hands hitting my shoulder, Saying, “mom, wake up and go” And I’d lie and say, “I wasn’t asleep” With anger in my voice So, right now I’m gonna make a choice, so, just listen To my voice! Im trading drugs for their little hands Every scar for a second chance I don’t understand, I should be gone right now But I’m still here somehow So I’m laying this poison in the ground right now For my boy, for my girl, for the promises I tore I ain’t chasing that high no more! There is residue on the bathroom sink Ghost in the mirror everytime I blink Dark shadows following me down the hallway I better get my ass to church on Sunday I’m trading drugs for their little hands Every scare for a second chance I don’t understand, I should be gone right now But I’m still here somehow So I’m laying this poison in the ground right now For my boy, for my girl, for the promises I tore I ain’t chasing that high no more! Got stopped by a red light Now I’m packing my pipe Just so I can light it up and get lit before I pull up Get higher then a kite I remember driving down that road and loosing my damn sight But that didn’t stop me and I just kept getting high all night I’m trading drugs for their little hands Every scare for a second chance I don’t understand, I should be gone right now But I’m still here somehow So I’m laying this poison in the ground right now For my boy, for my girl, for the promises I tore I ain’t chasing that high no more! I ain’t chasing that high no moreeeeeeeeeee!
