Stop ‘N’ Think

Lyrics

[Intro: Dionne Warwick (Sampled), Sample] You better stop, and think about what you're doing Stop, and think about what you're doing You better stop, and think about what you're doing You better stop, and think about what you're doing You better stop, and think about what you're doing You better stop, and think about what you're doing You better stop, and think about what you're doing Yeah, life is tough, life is tough Tough is life [Verse 1] The story begins, but first, won't ya pour us a gin? As sure as I been, still battlin' this war within Caught in the clutches of drugs, it's the sort of thing To make you chase your tail, conjure up more to drink More to the point, I got a taste for the amber liquid Standard equipment for the gifted when I blaze a shipment Yeah, it's nothin' different, I s'pose it takes commitment You should wait a minute, this your life you made a Guinness Straight up in it for the love of the game I reckon one of these days, I'll have to front on my ways Before my body decays, and I'm like not even fazed It's like a lot of me mates have got a lot in their way Things will change, you think that you're safe? Well think again I'm drinking straight out of the bottle to ease the pain Simple and plain, I'm thinking strange thoughts in my brain Panadeine Forte and alcohol to shorten my day Just walk away, stop and think before it's too late [Chorus: Dionne Warwick (Sampled), Sample] You better stop, and think about what you're doing Life is tough (Think about what you're doing) You better stop, and think about what you're doing Yeah, life is tough, life is tough Tough is life [Verse 2] They said drugs could hurt me, turn me dirty by the age of thirty A quiet drink that made me think that no one had heard me But certain enough, all eyes on me Advisory, a bag of weed's all you'll find on me I'm a slave forever, tryna break free of the chains Nicotine in my veins, what we need is a change Reasons to blame yourself and no one else for your ways No one else is the same, it's a hopeless charade I hope it's okay, I woke up today and thought about it And realised I can't and couldn't bare to live without it Think about it, you think you're surrounded, on the brink, I found it I've lost my mind a second time but I think I found it Expensive habits to tarnish the way I view the planet I sue the addict doing damage what I do to manage In this lifetime, I contemplate the future drunken Stop and think in what you doing, yeah you doin' nothin' [Chorus: Dionne Warwick (Sampled)] And think about what you're doing You better stop, and think about you're doing You better stop, and think about what you're doing You better stop, and think about what you're doing You better stop, and think about what you're doing You better stop, and think about what you're doing You better stop, and think about what you're doing [Outro: Sample] Yeah, life is tough, tough is life
