laughin' and chokin'
stayin' up all nite tokin'
when you fall asleep, you cant be woke, n'
you spend all your money on it, so your always broke, n'
your mouth is so dry you could suck down a 3 liter coke, n'
you think you will be doin' it til the day that you croak, n'
when your high, you just let everything soak in,
it seems like your mind is so open,
and there is nothing you cant figure out. your a genius and you know it
until you get behind the wheel with a friend who is toasted,
"i can drive like a champ when im messed up" he has always boasted
but this time, yall ran off the road, n'
you hit a tree and got knocked out cold, n'
you wake up in the hospital with every bone in your face broken,
you cant even lift you left arm to your throat, n'
your mom tells you that its a trachea makin' you cough and choke, n'
you start rehab the next day, and its the hardest thing you ever did, n'
you hope its a dream, but this isnt a joke, n'
you realize that no amount of smokin',
no drinkin', no pills, is worth goin' through rehab again
so you make a commitment right then to let it all go, n'
all of your friends are still hittin' the dope, n'
you dont wanna be around it, but you dont let them know it,
you wish they would stop but you dont ever show it
you just hope and pray to God that one day, they outgrow it.
