Don’t really understand getting started,
don’t really understand how it started,
don’t really understand how we parted.
Now I understand when life gets the hardest.
Cause I’ve seen people fall,
I’ve seen people fail,
claiming to be loyal but only knowing betrayal.
Co-signing your life putting yourself for sale.
We used to be homies we used to be friends but now we ain’t cause he smokes till no ends.
He sits alone in the park until dark inhaling depression till them drugs leave a mark on his heart,
a stain on his brain,
a hole in his soul,
pretending to gain power but losing control.
And it aint’ no joke his hope’s been broke he’s barely a teen now his life’s up in smoke.

Never forever,
forever never,
doing drugs it ain’t clever,
get better,
chase what you want man,
go get it.

She used to be tight, she used to be cool.
We used to kick it all the time at school.
I don’t know what she was thinking,
cause now she thinks it’s cool to start drinking.
She may be feeling pain and sorrow,
but that’s no reason to throw away your tomorrows.
You got to fight through the pain cause there wouldn’t be any be rainbows without any rain.
I’m trying to put these lyrics in to your brain so listen up and understand what I’m saying.
These drugs ain’t no game.
You have to look for a positive outlet to let go of the pain.
You need to find something that makes you happy a place where you can go.
For me it’s rapping.

Never forever,
forever never,
doing drugs it ain’t clever,
get better,
chase what you want man,
go get it.

I rap cause it makes me feel good.
I don’t feel alone, I feel understood.
I get high on life when I’m chasing my dreams
I’m up in the sky doing my own thing,
being my own king, cause I’m never doing drugs.
I’m forever staying clean.
I’m using music’s power to send a message;
Don’t do drugs is the topic that I’m stressing.
If you want to live your dreams and make it to the top stay away from drugs
cause they will bring you to your stop drop pop.
Influential music this is called hip hop.

Never forever,
forever never,
doing drugs it ain’t clever,
get better,
chase what you want man,
go get it.
