SOMETHING FOR JUNKIES

Somethin' for the addicts, somethin' for the users

Somethin' for the junkies and the substance abusers

Somethin' for the car washers, somethin' for the shade tree

Somethin' for my uncle Jeff, he died and they paid me

Somethin' for kinfolks in front of my storefront

Shoutout to Terrence' dad, I never hit your blunts

'Cause that was them blow blunts, that wasn't them 'dro blunts

That was them geek joints and I got slipped one

Man, I was geeked once, man, that was no fun

I had to call mom 'cause I am Denise' son

She said, "Stay calm, chill out, and eat somethin'"

Laughed at me later on, said, "You were just geeked, son"

This is for geek monsters, this is for junkies too

What Ready Ron did to DMX did somebody do to you

Ayy, this is for the J's working hard to get paid

Pay 'em fair wage and do not treat your people like slaves

Something for junkies, something for losers

Addicts and users, substance abusers

This is something for junkies, something for losers

Addicts and users, substance abusers

Something for junkies

When you see men fall, don't laugh

Learn, learn because you're on your way up

And the things that tempt people to fall, you and I are not free from that temptation nor from the weakness that will cause us to stumble and fall

When you laugh at somebody else's fall, white or Black, rich or poor, your enemy or your friend, you are laughing and opening a way for your own demise when you do that

Because to laugh and not learn, to make mockery and not to understand is to make the same mistake yourself

Did you hear me? (This another world I think the world need to see)

Woke up straight, travel great, counting my money

Had a quick convo' with my auntie the junkie

I tell her, "Baby, you've been going too hard lately

See, you like sixty, baby, but you've been looking eighty"

She said, "Shit, Michael, I've been smoking since '80

Before the shooters, back when we still called it freebasing"

She closed her eyes, fantasized 'bout better times

When she was beautiful, fine, and still snorting lines

She told me stories of glory, the club saying, "Suzy"

Atlanta night life was glamor, rich, Black, bougie

"A damn movie," she says, puffin' a damn loosie

Trigger warning, the next moment, she took a hit

She zoned out, came back, took a spit

Looked at me and said, "All of you got the same shit"

She said, "Michael, you say you love me, I know you mean it

'Cause you still treat your junkie auntie like a human being"

Something for junkies, something for losers (Something for the junkies, something for the users)

Addicts and users, substance abusers (Something for the world all around us that abuse us)

This is something for junkies, something for losers (Something for the lifestyle, don't never let it do you)

Addicts and users, substance abusers (That's another world I think the world need to see)

Something for junkies

Something for the junkies, something for the user

Something for the world all around us that abuse us

Tina went to school with me, that was baby Jordan's sister (Something for the lifestyle, don't never let it do you)

She was bustin' 380 when I was down in Florida with her (That's another world I think the world need to see)

I was young Paco, Dominican, a starter pistol

She used to tell me she loved the hell out of this Georgia ****

Never take for granted what you love the most

I cried when I lost her to an overdose

The streets, they don't tell you about the ghosts

And you just can't ignore all of the junkies you see

Ayy, buddy only want one, but he bring back five

He get the whole pack off so you can get fly

It's your uncle, it's your cousin, it's your partner on the sly

Know somebody somewhere praying, "I hope my mama don't die"

Oh

I know somebody praying that my mama don't die

Oh

Something for the junkies and users

Oh (Oh)

Something for the junkies and users and abusers

Somebody out here praying that my mama don't— my mama don't— my mama don't

Hey, and I hope my mama don't, don't die

Know somebody somewhere praying, "I hope my mama don't die"
