Testi

Mom said my switch was broken, that's what made me an addict

Unequipped with a means of coping, it inflates from a habit

Into a full-blown addiction, too thrown I'm switching

Through lanes in a school zone of a new home division

Listen, my brain is depleted of dopamine and oxytocin

When the pain gets treated, it's so serene it got me floating

Every liter that I'd open caused confusion, got me hostile

I was eager to find solutions at the bottom of the bottle

Combine the problems of tomorrow with the struggles of today

But that's just stalling all the sorrow, I kept double in the weight

But when escape is still an option, I'm incredibly seduced

And take the remedy with caution when it's chemically induced

My dreams are supposed to take me away from you

If you an alcoholic, bent, or a junkie, slamming smack

If you gambled all your rent, still trying to win your money back

Ran out of pills, sweating chills that left you jumpy off the rack

I know the feels, let off the wheels and get that monkey off your back

Found out the hard way, the fourth DUI's a felony

Landed in court and the judge and prosecutor yell at me

They telling me I'm looking at a year of imprisonment

How'd I start with just a beer and took it to this predicament

Fucking ignorant, disgusted with my lack of self-discipline

Drunk driving, could've died to kill some innocent citizen

Back then I was insolent, always claiming the victim

I'll be the cause of some incident, start blaming the system

I blame the laws, blame the cops, blame the district attorney

I blame the cars, the liquor shops, and blame the bitch that had that served me

And it was bullshit excuses and a cowardice defense

Cause it was substance abuse that I was powerless against

My dreams are supposed to take me away from you

If you an alcoholic, bent, or a junkie, slamming smack

If you gambled all your rent, still trying to win your money back

Ran out of pills, sweating, chills that left you jumpy off the rack

I know the feels, let off the wheels and get that monkey off your back

It seemed like everyone but me could have a couple drinks consistently

Stop after two or three, and to me that was a mystery

Was it something hidden in my DNA or family history

That made me go from one to every drink in my periphery

On a slope and it's slippery, it could be sudden I stumble

It's tough for me to claim victory without my cousin and uncle

While I got sober, they didn't, now neither one of them living

Tried intervening and pleading, but neither one of them listened

I could be right there with them, and that's a thought that never leaves me

Wake from nightmares while I'm in a box and watch my family grieve me

Nothing worth a damn is easy, but my wife and children need me

And if you're fighting with your demons, the fight is worth it fam, believe me

My dreams are supposed to take me away from you

If you an alcoholic, bent, or a junkie, slamming smack

If you gambled all your rent, still trying to win your money back

Ran out of pills, sweating, chills, that left you jumpy off the rack

I know the feels, let off the wheels, and get that monkey off your back
