Intro

Yo…

Seen too many nights turn to funerals

Same street, different face

Listen

Hook

Drugs ruined lives, yeah I seen it first-hand

Mums in tears, bros lost to white sand

Now I’m talkin to the poison like “nah, you’re done”

Watch the drugs take their own lives, down the sink, long gone

No more needles, no more lines on plates

I choose breath over death, I won’t meet that fate

They tried to own my mind, tried to steal my sight

Now the drugs take their own lives, I ain’t livin that life

Verse 1

I seen a man with dreams turn ghost in a week

Heart full of pain, couldn’t cope so he peaked

First it was calm, just a buzz on a Friday

Then it’s dark thoughts creepin in sideways

Same plug, same corner, different outcome

One hit more and the night gets outcome

Ambulance lights paint red on the flats

Another youth gone, now his name on a hat

Drugs don’t love you, they don’t feel bad

They’ll take your soul, leave your family mad

Promise you peace but they feed off pain

Smile on the surface but rot your brain

Hook

Drugs ruined lives, yeah I seen it first-hand

Mums in tears, bros lost to white sand

Now I’m talkin to the poison like “nah, you’re done”

Watch the drugs take their own lives, down the sink, long gone

No more needles, no more lines on plates

I choose breath over death, I won’t meet that fate

They tried to own my mind, tried to steal my sight

Now the drugs take their own lives, I ain’t livin that life

Verse 2

I flushed the pain down the toilet bowl

Heard it scream when I let it go

Burnt the wraps, told the devil no

I ain’t lettin my future overdose

Seen jail cells, seen graveyards

Both got space for the same dark path

They say “just once”, that’s the biggest lie

That “one time” turns to “one last try”

I wanna live long, see my mum get old

Not be a name that the block retold

I cut ties with the demons I knew

Let the drugs die, not me and you

Bridge

If you’re lost right now, hear my voice

You ain’t weak, you just need a choice

Pain don’t mean you deserve to fade

You deserve more than the mess they made

Outro

Let the drugs die…

So the people can live

Real talk
