Disarray

Lyrics

[Intro] More than 3,000 people died in the state last year You know, micrograms of a dosage of these opioids can kill and have killed Nearly a 108,000 overdose deaths in twelve month period. Um, you know 295 people dying every day [Chorus: Stray] You tried to change it but cannot get away Same shit but a new day Life is in pieces, in disarray Follow through with the shit you say You tried to change it (you tried changin') but cannot get away Same shit but a new day Life is in pieces, in disarray Follow through with the shit you say [Verse 1: Lyte] Started with the Vikes and the Percs It was nice and it worked 'til you built your tolerance No scholarship convincing yourself like "Nah, that's not where the dollars went" (Nope) Relying on a pill to feel like a normal human being (grr!) is so consuming See assuming he's doing good and resuming clean (Aww!) Karma's catching up and you're followed by a black cloud Try to get a grip and cracked out (Help!) 'Til you OD or you black out (black out!) and your whole life's stuck in the background (Dang!) And you fiendin' for a fix and your so called friends says he's got something that's cheaper and stronger Got what you seek next week he's a goner (Huh!) And this road gets deeper and longer Doing everything in your power coward (hello?) to keep neglecting the pain That poison you inject in your veins Side effect infectin' your brain (Yeeaah!) In the beginning you kept it hidden smooth That forbidden fruit you bit into And all them thangs you didn't do like come on who you kidding dude? (Liar!) Now he lying and stealing anything to supply the feeling Everyone says to fly on the ceiling The only outcome is die on the hill (Die on the hill!) And you try revealing the problem (Problem!) But you don't wanna hear that feedback (Feedback!) But honestly you need that (need that!) and eventually rehab [Chorus: Stray] You tried to change it but cannot get away Same shit but a new day Life is in pieces, in disarray Follow through with the shit you say You tried to change it (you tried changin') but cannot get away Same shit but a new day Life is in pieces, in disarray Follow through with the shit you say [Verse 2: Lyte] What's a crew to do than be true to you? And chances you done blew a few (Psst!) And all of your family and friends in this room Right now they try to get through to you Like step in my shoes, the view it's long overdue (He needs professional help, grr!) And that aggression you dealt hoping that this session was felt (Ha!) Think in your head you don't need that shit Don't believe that shit I'ma tell 'em what they wanna hear (Wanna hear!) You can see that your momma here so you disagree and commandeer (Uh huh!) So you went to the rehabilitation center sick Feeling like a bitch though (Ugh!) Pukin', sittin' in shit drawers Just got hit with them withdrawals (Damn!) This no way to live God so you leave the program and dip off Back to the hood, up to no good I'm never coming back to the crib y'all And you did fall right back into bad habits And fell right off of the wagon (Huh!) It got you pacing and lagging And now you chasing the dragon Wasting and ragging your body (Ouch!) Your arms are full of them track marks Now you couch surfing, hurting Deep down you drowned and know that that scars How many times you crash cars? Multiple times from nodding out Caught up in the system Now you looking at some real jailtime without a doubt [Chorus: Stray] You tried to change it but cannot get away Same shit but a new day Life is in pieces, in disarray Follow through with the shit you say You tried to change it (you tried changin') but cannot get away Same shit but a new day Life is in pieces, in disarray Follow through with the shit you say [Verse 3: Lyte] Sittin' in the cell, got time to reflect Decisions that you made in life Toss and turn in your bunk afraid at night, pray to change the sight But you can't 'cause your freedom's gone So ready to quit and this course to be over A year of your life in a cage and now you forced to be sober Now you got jams, grams, probation Or race right back to the pen God if you can help me out I promise it won't happen again Everyone's problem, no fucking around Understand now you got somethin' to lose Finally off of them papers and back to real life No more jumpin' through hoops (Thank God!) And smothered in damage, no more suffering dammit Discovered a beautiful woman, another recovering addict (Rush!) That went through the same thing And you found comfort in that, got a number to chat Fell in lust and all your trust got crushed and brushed right under the mat (Woo!) Now you reminiscin' and flippin' and missin' a high, livin' a lie Wishin' to fly, this'll be the last time Listen, my guy, you can do the same amount She's so convincing to try Then leave you behind, leave you to die With no response or reply Only God knows why and this time Narcan can't revive [Chorus: Stray] You tried to change it but cannot get away Same shit but a new day Life is in pieces, in disarray Follow through with the shit you say You tried to change it (you tried changin') but cannot get away Same shit but a new day Life is in pieces, in disarray Follow through with the shit you say
