Stop ‘N’ Think

[Scratches]
"Life is tough"

[Verse 1]
The story begins but first watch him pour us a gin
As sure as I been, still battlin' this war within
Caught in the clutches of drugs, it's the sorta thing
To make you chase your tale, conjure up more to drink
More to the point, I got a taste for the amber liquid
Standard equipment for the gifted when I blaze a shipment
Yeah, it's nothin' different, I s'pose it takes commitment
You should wait a minute, this your life you made a Guinness
Straight up in it for the love of the game
I reckon one of these days, I'll have to front all my ways
Before my body decays, and I'm like not even fazed
It's like a lot of me mates, have got a lot in their way
Things will change, you think that you're safe? Well think again
I'm drinking straight out of the bottle to ease the pain
Simple and plain, I'm thinking strange thoughts in my brain
Panadeine Forte and alcohol to shorten my day
Just walk away, stop 'n' think before it's too late

"Life is tough"

[Verse 2]
They said drugs could hurt me, turn me dirty by the age of thirty
A quiet drink that made me think that no one had heard me
But certain enough, all eyes on me
Advisory, a bag of weed's all you'll find on me
I'm a slave forever, tryna break free of the chains
Nicotine in my veins, what we need is a change
Reasons to blame yourself and no one else for your ways
No one else is the same, it's a hopeless charade
I hope it's okay, I woke up today and thought about it
And realised I can't and couldn't bare to live without it
Think about it, you think you're surrounded, on the brink I found it
I've lost my mind a second time but I think I found it
Expensive habits to tarnish the way I view the planet
I sue the addict doing damage what I do to manage
In this lifetime I contemplate the future drunken
Stop 'n' think in what you doing, yeah you doin' nothin'
