lyrics

It's stimulating, mind expanding...

Yeah
All soul from the first shine to last glow
Flow wit control but look like I was raised in Glasgow
No, from the south—but my parents from the north
So I think that really means I caught a mixture of the force
What's divorce do to kids when they think that shit's they fault
They end up with a lot of emotions locked in a vault
It's salt to the wounds when you gotta find forgiveness
You can't run a race in reverse and begin at the finish
Cuz seconds turn to minutes and hours turn to days
And months turn to years and you got like seven decades
Maybe 8 or 9 dependin your state of mind
Thinkin bout this friend of mine gets me everytime
Ayo I heard you been aligned, I told em back up
All I know is comin thru straight up like a mack truck
Watch em act up when we throw a proper hoedown
This what happen when you throw some Drugs on the Pro sound
Yeah, throw some Drugs on the Pro sound
This what happen when you throw some Drugs on the Pro sound

People have problems
And drugs seem like a solution to them
Drugs are here to stay, they've been here for quite a while
People of all age levels use them
Be it from the very young to the very old
The adult world and an increasing number of young people as well
Have accepted and are living the industrial slogan of better living thru chemistry
The reason that we continue to have these stereotypes
About who drug users are is because of the ongoing racism of our society

Ayo, cold blooded—old styles won't cut it
I been lookin for some ears just so I could leave em flooded
The wave that you lookin for go high to low to crash
That monocle you lookin thru gon catch up to yo ass
I been last picked and underrated, it's all relative
What's the fate of all our souls if we could all be innovative
Creative control—ayo I'm never givin up that
Even when y'all promise y'all gon bring all of my buzz back
A place at the table tend to come wit a thumb tack
If you gon kick it off you better watch the run back
All pro like Cooper Cupp caught it
Gettin paid on the road with these shows—here come the audit
Like pre Carter 3—I'm just tryna bring the floods out
More concerned with what's forever than just what's now
From the dust in the sky to lust in your eye
Find the whats in your why and let it multiply
Thus rely on yourself, it's a lie they gon help
It all comes down to you and if you vie for the belt
Ayo, you can't never tell the endings from beginnings
Linkin up with Drugs, performance enhanced winnings

Some of them are turning to drugs to escape
Others are turning to drugs to turn on instead of turning off
To become stimulated, they seek excitement
And psychologically they're somewhat unstable
And turn to the use of drugs to do this
We are obligated to give these young people the knowledge
So that they can make a proper decision
We know that the decisions that are being made by young people
Are made when we're not there to help them
So therefore, we must prepare them to make these decisions
And if we believe in education then we must believe in knowledge
And the knowledge that helps them make these decisions
