Fat Joe - I Am Crack lyrics

(You know what you gotta understand
Is that it's a drug
That affects the brain chemistry of the user
And it causes things like
Paranoia, euphoria, insomnia
Loss of appetite
And this really insatiable craving
For more cocaine people who smoke crack
They get this immediate
And intense release of dopamin in the brain
And once those dopamin levels plummet
After just a few minutes
The smoker feels compelled to
Take another hit just to ease the feelings
Of depression and sadness, Good afternoon
We're reporting live in the streets
Of the Bronx today
Chronicling a deadly epidemic
Sweeping the nation
A wave of violent crimes have
Been linked to chronic addiction
To and distribution of a drug called)

CRACK they heat me up
I can see the top bubble waiting for me
Investigators sending snitches for me, uhh
Sold out, lines around the block
Niggas waiting for a whiff of
That base and that rock
Chicago Bulls fitted, they calling me red top
You can find me in Humboldt Park
Soon as it gets dark
Or even in the daylight
Even though it ain't right
I'm outside the church preying
On some saved lives
Or sitting on a scale good enough to taste
I'm better than a protein shake
You lose weight
Nigga, no doubt I'm the hardest in the game
It's the rock, I ain't talking Jay
Biggs or Dame i'm talking bling-bling
Crack pipe and a collar
I make bums fight, wash cars for a dollar
A glass dick in the mouth of a model
Take your time, baby, don't spit
Just swallow

BASE rOCK!

(Downtown Miami we've described on the scene
A intense gun battle between police
And known drug dealers
From both the local area and New York City
The shooting's been ongoing since
Early this afternoon
And sources report that so far as many as
Nine people have been killed or wounded
This is just another chapter in what has been
Miami's epic struggle in the war against
I - I'm just a reporter, gunshots)

In the 80's I made so many premature babies
Put niggas in Mercedes, strapped with 380's
Uh, who you think made Nino smarter?
If it wasn't for me, it wouldn't be no Carter
Down in DC, yeah, shit got scary
Almost lost my political connect
With Mayor Barry
They mix me with embalming fluid, it's unreal
And Jada said he cooked me on a Foreman Grill
Turn a happy home into a stash house
They can smoke me all night
Until they pass out
I'm cool with pops and I'm cool with moms
But they don't know that we cool
Me and you share a bond
Franklins, Jacksons, get me to acting a fool
I transform into a bird on the move
Down south, yeah they on me, kid
I'm the shit letting base
Heads and zombies live bASE rOCK!

(A more brutal form of cocaine known as crack
Is increasingly penetrating every part
Of our social strand
Classified as a Schedule I
Substance by the DEA
Crack is wreaking havoc on a nation both
In the inner city and the suburbs
With the war on drugs reaching a fever pitch
Law enforcement agencies are
Scrambling to rid
Their communities of this destructive drug)

CL 6 trey with the seats reclining
From the cracks we slinging and
The keys we flinging keep iron on me
Niggas on the streets keep eying me
Til I Stuart Scott a nigga
Trying to peep me sideways
Crack, it's good coke, good dope
It's good money, thick broads on big boats
Big business, big Benzes
26 rims lead to never ending sentences
I'm looking clean in a box
With a fresh line-up, nigga, your time's up
The dumps where they find you
Mangled and tied up
50 keys in the stash case
The streets dried up
Short a few guns, need a couple of pies
You see a boat, I run it right by
Can you feel it? Nothing can save ya
It's Crack baby, minus the incubators
