lyrics
Attention seeker
Direction needed
Sh*t she gets in deeper
Affection eager
Only into 3 things drugs sex and Easter
Connections leav’er
No friends near either
2 am calling me up, I answer asking why
hear’er drunk swearing, cussing out at passer-by’s
The party sh*t is the life she’s attracted by
She ringing up for some money for a taxi ride
dunit, weed wine and popped pills,
Drunk drove to town and nearly got killed
Letting any man front row and backstage
Half of them old enough I bet to be her dads age
She aint driven by
Nothing but the liquor high
Wont listen to her mum’s advice and she sick of mine
Dropping out of school
Makes you so sad doesn’t it, I pray so hard she doesn’t go out like my cousin did
And its gone now for some of them
Couldn’t get out
I’m tryna give some options to you
I’ve seen the outcome
Life without out one
If you go this way it wont be by me
I wish in this verse I cud say she back on the right track
This story had a happy end, yeh a nice wrap
But no luck there
I know it’s so unfair
But her brother tryna study and she still drinking upstairs
None wanna get to knower
She never next to sober
Nothing to prove and her 5th uni semester over
I’m in a mess shud I hang up the phone
Just let her sort it out
Consequences she shuda thought about
Not making any sense higher than Canada
I aint that mature and she want me to look after’er
My temper getting shorter
My pity getting smaller
But just wait where you are jess I’m coming forya
And it’s gone now for some of them
Couldn’t get out
I’m tryna give some options to you
I’ve seen the outcome
Life without out one
If you go this way it wont be by me
Everybody has an addiction
Sex, love or religion
As small as protecting your children
But you gotta decide
Put the drink down yo you off it tonight
Everybody has an addiction
Gambling all your chips in
Go get it out of your system
You got to decide
Choice not chance yo let’s stop it tonight
And it’s gone now for some of them
Couldn’t get out
I’m tryna give some options to you
I’ve seen the outcome
Life without out one
If you go this way it wont be by me…
