“Morphine” is the sixth song from Princess Nokia’s fourth mixtape A Girl Cried Red. On the song, Nokia talks about the struggles in her life that no one sees and alludes to a girl who might make her pain disappear as if she were on the titular drug.
[Intro]
Smash my heart in pieces, it looks so good on the floor
[Verse]
People think it's fun and games but my life is really lonely
Ain't nobody that can save me, ain't nobody that console me
I'm an emo little boy and I want someone to hold me
Got my money like a blanket and I hold it when I'm lonely
Got my blanket and my bottle, yeah, you know I like to sip
Said her lips taste like morphine, asked me if I want a drip
I'm in bed when I'm lonely, I'm in bed when I'm sick
I'm in bed on a flight and I'm in bed on a trip
You say you love me, I know you're lyin'
You say you're sorry, well, thanks for tryin'
Got a new life, not invited
Got a date now and I'm excited
Is my meant to be being where I wanna be
So I turn off my phone and then I go to sleep
Spent a month on the road, every night a new bed
When I touch back home, could've sworn I was dead
Only focus was important so it's back to work
Always focus on my money, people think I'm a jerk
Yeah, I really, really want it, I can't waste no time
Everybody gettin' money, but I get mine
[Outro]
Think it's fun and games
And my life is so lonely
Can you please hold me?
