I Ain’t Chasing These Drugs No More

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!
