[Intro]
...Not using for an entire year, really [?] on 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 b**hes is dumb, miss, these n***as 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 s**, 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 sh** that make you grow
Be the sh** that break your bones, though
Between success and d**h 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 corridor 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 weining moon, breakin' through the clouds
To make another route from they 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 b**hes is dumb, miss, these n***as 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 s**, 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 happened to you said it's uh, you've been possessed, (laugh) you said you were possesed [?], I don't particularly know what I was possessed by, but uhm,... You described that the possession being the addiction, that my addiction actually isn't [?] a life of its own, and it's not the devil, you know it's not 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 and 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...
