Esham - Opioids lyrics

Youth is a happy time and a carefree time
But sometimes, in these troubled days
The very thoughtlessness of youths has led to
A living nightmare addiction to drugs
Too often acquired with tragic carelessness
May take control of a life
And force actions not dreamed of before
These addicts, life's only work is to
Find money for drugs
In their desperation, no means is too foul
Their only goal in life
Is to keep the deadening chemicals
Forever in their heart's blood
The cause of this living death
Is a white powder
Innocent looking, but deadly
Once this was a poppy growing
In Italy or Turkey or some other hot land
The dried juice of this plant produces opium
A powerful drug
Contained in opium is morphine
Used by doctors to relieve severe pain

I get money, fuck some bitches
I got riches in my britches
Man, you talkin' about that
Paper, little homie, that's what this is
Man, I'm chasing seven digit's
Why you shorter than a midget
Yeah, I talk it like I walk it
And I spit it like I live it
Ever since I was an infant
People told me I was different
When I came up out the womb
I was flyer than a pigeon
Didn't nobody wanna listen
They too broke to pay attention
All of y'all should go to church
And ask the Lord for forgiveness
I'm out cold, yeah I'm frigid
When I spit it is a blizzard
I'm from Detroit
You should come and pay me a visit
I'm a whipped cream wizard
Pancakes and the sizzurp


More and more is needed to
Produce the same effects after continued use
The body acquires a physical
Dependance on opiates
So that withdrawal of the drug
Causes brief but violent illness
Until the body can make a readjustment
A smaller dose taken into the bloodstream
Inhibit's all the functions of the body
By it's action in the brain
And the central nervous system
But the body gradually builds up
A tolerance to the drug

First I wake up, then I bake
Up, get my cake up, ain't no pay cut
Ask for forgiveness later
These rappers still some traitors
T-N T- died in Las Vegas
Mastamind is still a player
It's NATAS not NAYTAS
These motherfuckers still hate us
I don't give a fuck
I'm still playing with them choppers
I got some shit that'll flame
Broil you like a whopper, pop ya
Hit ya real quick with the thigh yow
I don't want a foo foo boo boo sack
Police coming with the pow pow
'Cause no lives matter, you knew that

(Drugs, called opiates)
Are you thinking of relocating
Somewhere in the States?
Make sure you take a look at the three
Worst places to live in the US
Before you make any decisions about
Your next home base three, Cleveland, Ohio
Aside from being one of the most
Corrupt cities in the country
Cleveland also has harsh weather conditions
With an average of sixty inches
Of snowfall each year
Two, Camden, New Jersey
Camden has been on Forbes list
Of America's most miserable cities for years
Riddled with urban decay
And political corruption
Over forty-two percent of it's residents
Live below the poverty line
It also has five hundred and
Sixty percent more crime
Than the national average
One, Detroit, Michigan
The city is suffering from urban decay
With over thirty-two percent of residents
Living below the national poverty line
According to FBI reports
Detroit has the highest rate of violent crime
Of any city over two hundred thousand
Where do you think the worst place
To live in the US is?
