Knockin’ Myself Out

[Verse 1]
Listen, girls and boys
I got one stick
Give me a match
And let me take a whiff quick

[Refrain]
I'm gonna knock myself out
Yes, I'm gonna kill myself
I'm gonna knock myself out
Gradually by degrees

[Verse 2]
I started blowing my gage
And I was havin' my fun
I spied the police
And I started to run

[Refrain]
I was knocking myself out
Yes, I was killing myself
I was knocking myself out
Gradually by degrees

[Verse 3]
But the very moment
I looked around
My mind said, 'Lil, throw that gage on the ground'

[Refrain]
The police captain said 'Kill yourself!'
The police captain said 'Kill yourself!'
He said 'Knock yourself out, yeah
Gradually by degrees.'

[Verse 4]
I used to didn't blow gage
Drank nothin' of the kind
But my man quit mе and that changed my mind

[Refrain]
That's why I knocked myself out
Yеs, I just killed myself
I knocked myself out
Gradually by degrees

[Verse 5]
I'm gonna blow this jive
It's a sin and a shame
But it's the only thing
That ease my heart about my man

[Refrain]
Is when I knock myself out
Lord, when I kill myself
I just knock myself smack out
Gradually by degrees
