Pharoahe Monch - Freestyle About Addiction at the Bars Lab lyrics

They told me to see the glass half full
'Cause some see it as half empty
I chose to see the glass as twice the
Size it needed to be
Smashed it against the wall i the kitchen
On the floor, going through withdrawals
I was itchin'
But she rescued mme, my heroine to the end
Then she morphed into heroin in a syringe
Around my bicep
I would tie a shoestring tap!
Five times to find a vein in there
Squeeze seven CCs
So I could see the seven seas
And CC all my friends
So they could see what I was seeing
But what they saw was
A despicable human being
So, I guess they just wasn't
Seeing what I was seeing
Convert two into one, and an invisible plan
To discover what dreams may come
For this invisible man sentimental education
Beautiful, but the damned was
Constantly catching fire richard Pryor!
My skin deteriorated
Family infuriated by the myriad of tracks
But my train never came
So humiliated, started begging for change
Failed rehabilitation
So the scars still remain
Nice clothes became frayed
So isolated and afraid
Smelled like an animal
My teeth enamel decayed
And I'm relocated in Alabama, now
I'm on that Maalox and Mylanta, now
But it won't stop the burn
Constantly searching for the answers
How I could kiss the sky without enhancing
But, it's just so hard to learn
