Withdrawal

Lyrics

Loer Velocity - "Withdrawal" [Emcee(s): Loer Velocity] [Producer(s): Parallel Thought (Caness, Drum, and Knowledge)] [Sample (Melody): Jimmy McGriff - "Back on the Track"] [Intro: Loer Velocity] It's still so hard for me to believe that we've reached this point in our relationship. If somebody would have told me a while ago that, "Sometime in the near future, you're gonna be where you're at, kid..." Hehe. I'd have been like, "You're wiling." But everything comes to an end [Verse 1: Loer Velocity] Day One of me telling myself, "That's it" And right after that, I thought about one last hit Of the clip that sits, waiting in the ashtray But, seriously, I'm saying, "Today's got to be the last day" It's time to air out, dust off, take a breather Cut out the red like a reformed meat-eater Miss Jane, I don't need her, but it's word I do adore The sweetness and aroma of her powerful allure She's raw, and I'm always wanting more, but chill I really gotta execute more power of will, get Control, take the habit out of the routine, dawgs It's time we cleared the air, if you know what I mean, dawgs And it's a challenge. I've got it bad. It's been for some time now I know it's bad. Trees is the subject of rhyme now Puffer with no control, who needs to get a grip on all The Buddha, all the noise, and, on the side, one piff [Hook (Overlapped with Interlude 1): Loer Velocity] And you Don't stop, you don't, you don't quit. And you Don't stop, you don't, you don't quit. And you Don't stop, you don't, you don't quit. And you Don't stop, spark enough of that spliff. And you Don't stop, you don't, you don't quit. And you Don't stop. One, two, you don't quit. And you Don't stop, you don't, you don't quit. And you Don't stop, you don't, you don't, you don't [Interlude 1 (Overlapped with Hook): Phone Call Skit] Loer Velocity: (*Phone Ringing*) Where's my phone, yo. Peace. Wha... Female Friend: Hey, Loe, what's up? Loer Velocity: Hey, what's up, love? What's going on? Female Friend: What you doing? You burning? I wanna come stop by for a minute Loer Velocity: Hold on, I'm actually taking a little breather right now, but, you know, you, you always welcome to come through. I got some buttered popcorn, got some movies. You know how we... Female Friend: Mmm, nah, that's alright Loer Velocity: Huh? Female Friend: Yeah, uh huh Loer Velocity: Wow [Verse 2: Loer Velocity] Day Two welcomes me with some more of the same But with a little agitation, a little more mundane Insane feelings of committed addiction That's my word. Today really feels like something's missing This sober condition got me all conflicted I'm not one to get spliffted, smashed, or lifted So you know it's a fight just getting through the day Stressed and uptight, my mind's all on the hay Got to find alternatives like pushups and chewing gum But calisthenics don't inspire me to start doing 'em I guess it's the chewing gum and a little determination But everything I find I do, I do with stimulation Habitual lacing of both pans and pots A cannabis sativa fever's what I gots So I'm pacing, twiddling thumbs. I need a patch There's a roach in the ashtray. I'm like, "I need a match" [Hook (Overlapped with Interlude 2): Loer Velocity] You don't stop, you don't, you don't, you don't You don't stop, you don't, you don't, you don't You don't stop, you don't, you don't, you don't You don't stop, you don't, you don't quit You don't stop, you don't, you don't, you don't You don't stop, you don't, you don't, you don't You don't stop, you don't, you don't, you don't You don't stop. This is the ultimatum [Interlude 2 (Overlapped with Hook): Phone Call Skit] Loer Velocity: (*Phone Ringing*) Nah, I'm good, dawg. I just gotta be strong, be strong. Peace Female Friend: What's up with you, man? Loer Velocity: Ayyo, peace, peace. What's up, miss? What's up? Female Friend: Peace my ass, nigga. What you dealing with? Loer Velocity: What, what you talking about? Female Friend: So you out the game now? No more smokey smoke? Loer Velocity: Well, you know, I'm just taking a little break, little miss. You know? Female Friend: That's fucked up, dawg Loer Velocity: What? Female Friend: Aight, nigga Loer Velocity: I'm just trying to breathe! Female Friend: Crazy [Verse 3: Loer Velocity] Man, Day Three starts, a lot less rockier than beautiful And I'm feeling a lot less laidback than usual I've cleaned out the ashtrays. There's no paraphernalia Have less of a feeling. I holler at my dealer I'm getting it—oh shit--the air's not as thick today I know I'm still hooked in oh such a vicious way Smell of residue as it lingers in my room, so Out of habit, I twist, and it's not even noon But that's just some loose-leaf I had lying around (*Phone Ringing*) My addiction is so in-my-face and profound ("My duke, I got Dutch. No homo, let's get in touch") Nah, dude I'm trying to alleviate that as possible as much It's the cause and effect of the demonous tune But I'm strong-willed. I'll recover soon I can't turn back now. Three's the magic number I'm about to really shake this THC spell I'm under
