Cocaine

Lyrics

[Intro: Nikki Grier] So low, door is closed Trust is broke, words got choked In my throat, can't let go Of my high hopes, my high hopes My high hopes (Say what?) [Verse 1: Royce Da 5'9"] Papa came home from another day of hard Work, and handed me his key, told me "Go look in the car" So I went out there to look for what he asked me to get I was checkin' all the seats, but the only thing I saw Was a bag of cocaine (Say what?) Uh, Papa was too solid, he ain't never tell a lie I went in to tell him 'bout it, he said "Oh, that must be Guy He worked with me at the job," I said, "Oh" and walked away He said "Oh, before you go, make sure you don't tell your ma' 'Bout the cocaine" (Say what?) Uh, me and little homie, we was walkin' to the store It was right there on the corner and we seen a guy that's homeless He was wrapped up in a blanket, he was lookin' really cold Then he asked us for some change and he asked us if we know Who had the cocaine (Say what?) Cocaine [Chorus: Royce Da 5'9"] I'm losin' my mind, trying to figure out How did I inherit so much pain I drink a lot of alcohol, problems with the law Would I have done better or the same If Daddy never tried cocaine? Uh If Daddy never tried cocaine Cocaine, uh (Say what?) [Interlude: Royce Da 5'9" & Nikki Grier] (In my throat) So my father's only next logical step was to go to rehab (Can't let go) And that's exactly what he did (Of my high hopes) He went to rehab and got completely clean Hasn't done a drug in over twenty years (My high hopes) He did that for himself but (My high hopes) He did that because he didn't want to lose us Whew, strong man [Verse 2: Royce Da 5'9"] Uh, now let's talk about how much I respect my Pop He's been through so much in life, we ain't never had a lot We just had each other's back, that was really all we need Pop', I love you unconditional and thanks for loving me More than cocaine My father chose me over cocaine Cocaine, uh I'm proud to say that I'm an addict who inherits your pain [Outro: Nikki Grier] Trust is broke Words got choked In my throat
