Addiction Cycles

Lyrics

[Intro] ...Not using for an entire year, really goes beyond me, and we're gonna be looking at , uhm, what that's about, what we call an addiction cycle and breaking the cycle... What then? [Verse 1: Quelle Chris] I got many shades, I'm Calico cat I'm over this party, I rather go rap These bitches is dumb, miss, these niggas is wack I cook a new drug, it's better than that I had a disease, I couldn't connect They call it MC, go ahead and inject, like that You feel better now? Ease into it Your mama and your papa told you: "please don't do it", right? But you hooked onto it, right? It's better than sex, you melting away Tomorrow was today, and today was... The sound of the rain The blare of the horn The bust of the beat The stroke of the snare The grip of the hand The taste of a sound The sight of a smell, inhale You are officially down... [Verse 2: Cavalier] Same shit that make you grow Be the shit that break your bones, though Between success and death I live but a stones throw My dreams scored to a mean horn solo It's incomplete, It'd be some feat to walk this road dolo Still here through two Cuomos Folks getting old, Moms can't drive the Volvo Hard grills is marble, cry diamond tears, bleed rubies Bruised feet got tar heels Don't confuse what you call my art With just how my heart spills We're Khalil Gibrans, prophets of this modern day spiel Truth food for thought's a holiday meal That keeps you from being a corpse that the coroner seals Up in that bag, few words like a cut or a stab A movement on Earth for merely running it back Records spin in revolutions The milk and honey, recovered in wax The waning moon, breakin' through the clouds To make another route from the Nino Browns Separate the ways how They was putting you down... [Verse 3: Quelle Chris] I got many shades, I'm Calico cat I'm over this party, I rather go rap These bitches is dumb, miss, these niggas is wack I cook a new drug, it's better than that I had a disease, I couldn't connect They call it MC, go ahead and inject, like that Feel better now? Ease into it Your mama and your papa told you: "please don't do it", right? But you hooked onto it, right? It's better than sex, you melting way Tomorrow was today, and today was... The sound of the rain The blare of the horn The bust of the beat The stroke of the snare The grip of the hand The taste of a sound The sight of a smell, inhale You are officially down... [Outro] Oh, I know what you're describing what would happened to you, you said if uh, you've been possessed, (laugh). You said you were possessed or not. Uh, I guess that's one way to look at it. I don't particularly know whether I was possessed or not, but uhm You described that the possession being the addiction, that my addiction actually is an entity, that it does take on a life of its own. And it's not the devil, and it's not, you know all this other stuff you have around possessions, but it's that my addiction has this voice and its a very powerful voice that has its own personality, it gives me directions, and so, no matter what I say, at some point during the day, this possession or this personality or this addiction, suddenly becomes stronger, and it takes over the part that says I'm not gonna use anymore, and most of us find that we are willing to quit our addiction, but we don't know how not to use anymore, and that's it, thank you, see you later...
