Smile #5 (see page 103 and 107)

[Intro]
Scared—
Why ya—
(Mmh, ahh)
(Mmh, Ooh-oo, ahh)

[Verse: Slauson Malone]
Memories is medicine
But past made me reticent
I really need me Ritalin
Or better yet some mescaline (Scare—)
(If you’re scared then say that you’re scared)
'Cause future's always tentative
And present's always relative
Like birthdays with my—
(Missing presences was felt) (Scare—)
They say these the cards dealt (Scare—)
But life ain't a game
And I sure ain't a spade
And I sure ain't a slave!
And we sure ain't the same
(But I wonder?)
What makes a card different besides the number?
Or between a club and a clover
Looking for luck in them LA summers
I remember my ma in Dumb and Dumber
I remember near death in a Rover
I remember when she got sober
Then copped the same one in October
Same color, same color

[Interlude: Slauson Malone]
Can't smile at the past when I see it
Mistake my past as seen it
'Cause what was ain't what it really seem
Maybe pain is what I really mean
Or maybe gas what I really need
Too bad it turned me to a fiend
For weeks, dazed
(Reversed speech)

[Refrain: Slauson Malone]
I don't know (no)
Where to go (go)
Protect my soul
Before I'm ghost
I'm gone, I'm gone
I was lost but I'm found, I think?

[Outro: MIKE]
Gas what I smoke, nigga
Gas, gas
