Drug Ballad

Eminem

Ooh shit (ooh  hey  ooh) 
Guess what? 
I ain't coming in yet  
I'll come in in a minute 
Ah-yo  this is my love song 
It goes like this 

Back when Mark Wahlberg was Marky Mark 
This is how we used to make the party start 
We used to mix hen' with Bacardi Dark 
And when it kicks in you can hardly talk 
And by the sixth gin you gon' probably crawl 
And you'll be sick then and you'll probably barf 
And my prediction is you gon' probably fall 
Either somewhere in the lobby or the hallway wall 
And everything's spinnin' 
You're beginning to think women are swimmin' in pink linen 
Again in the sink 
Then in a couple of minutes that bottle of Guinness is finished 
You are now allowed to officially slap bitches 
You have the right to remain violent and start wildin' 
Start a fight with the same guy that was smart eyein' you 
Get in the car and start it and start drivin' 
Over the island and cause a 42 car pile up 
Earth calling, pilot to co-pilot 
Looking for life on this planet sir, no sign of it 
All I could see is a bunch of smoke flyin' 
And I'm so high that I might die if I go by it 
Let me out of this place I'm outta place 
I'm in in outter space, I've just vanished without a trace 
I'm going to a pretty place now where the flowers grow 
I'll be back in an hour or so 

'Cause every time I go to try to leave (Whoa) 
Somethin' keeps pullin' on my sleeve (Whoa) 
I don't want to but I gotta stay (Whoa) 
These drugs really gotta hold on me (Whoa) 

'Cause every time I try ta tell 'em no (No) 
They won't let me ever let 'em go (Go) 
I'm a sucker all I gotta say (Whoa) 
Is drug's really gotta hold on me? 

In third grade all I used to do 
Was sniff glue through a tube and play rubix cube 
Seventeen years later I'm as rude as you 
Schemein' on the first chick with the hugest boobs 
I got no game and every face looks the same 
They got no name so I don't need game to play 
I just say whatever I want, to whoever I want 
Whenever I want, wherever I want, however I want 
However I do show some respect to few 
This ecstasy has got me standin' next to you 
Gettin' sentimental as fuck, spillin' guts to you 
We just met but I think I'm in love with you 
But you're on it too so you tell me you love me too 
Wake up in the morning like "Yo what the fuck we do?" 
I gotta go bitch, you know I got stuff to do 
'Cause if I get caught cheatin' then I'm stuck with you 
But in the long run these drugs 
Are probably gonna catch up sooner or later 
But fuck it I'm on one so let's enjoy 
Let the X destroy your spinal chord, 
So it's not a straight line no more 
So we walk around lookin' like some windup dolls 
Shit stickin' out of our backs like a dinosaur 
Shit six hits won't even get me high no more 
So bye for now I'm gonna try to find some more 

Cause every time I go to try to leave (Whoa) 
Somethin' keeps pullin' on my sleeve (Whoa) 
I don't want to but I gotta stay (Whoa) 
These drugs really gotta hold on me (Whoa) 

'Cause every time I try ta tell 'em no (No) 
They won't let me ever let 'em go (Go) 
I'm a sucker all I gotta say (Whoa) 
Is drug's really gotta hold on me? 

That's the sound of a bottle when it's hollow 
When you swallow it all 
Wallow and drown in your sorrow 
And tomorrow your probably gonna want to do it again 
What's a little spinal fluid between you and a friend, screw it 
And what's a little bit of alcohol poisoning? 
And what's a little fight? 
Tomorrow you'll be boys again 
It's your life live it however you want to 
Marijuana is everywhere, where was you brought up? 
It don't matter as long as you get where you're goin' 
'Cause none of this shit's gonna mean shit where we're goin 
They tell you to stop but you just sit there ignorin' 
Even though you wake up feelin' like shit every morning 
But your young you got a lot of drugs to do 
Girls to screw, parties to crash, sucks to be you 
If I could take it all back now I wouldn't 
I would've did more shit that people said that I shouldn't 
But I'm all grown up now and upgraded 
And graduated to better drugs and updated 
But I still gotta a lot of growin' up to do 
I still gotta whole lot of throwin' up to spew 
But when it's all said and done before I know it 
I'll be forty with a forty on the porch tellin' stories 
With a bottle of Jack, two grand kids on my lap 
Babysitting for Hailey, while Hailey's out gettin' shmashed 

'Cause every time I go to try to leave (Whoa) 
Somethin' keeps pullin' on my sleeve (Whoa) 
I don't want to but I gotta stay (Whoa) 
These drugs really gotta hold on me (Whoa) 

'Cause every time I try ta tell 'em no (No) 
They won't let me ever let 'em go (Go) 
I'm a sucker all I gotta say (Whoa) 
Is drug's really gotta hold on me? 

'Cause every time I go to try to leave (Whoa) 
Somethin' keeps pullin' on my sleeve (Whoa) 
I don't want to but I gotta stay (Whoa) 
These drugs really gotta hold on me (Whoa) 

'Cause every time I try ta tell 'em no (No) 
They won't let me ever let 'em go (Go) 
I'm a sucker all I gotta say (Whoa) 
Is drug's really gotta hold on me? 

Drugs really got a hold on me 
Really got a hold on me 
'Cause drugs really got a hold on me 
They really got a hold on me
