When I come home from work, I’m fiendin’ for an eight ball
I got crack on my mind, I’m hearin’ cocaine call
Telling me to beep the dealer to deliver me stuff
Keep it a secret from my wife, ‘cause she thinks I don’t use drugs
There I was, bleeding from my nose, and damn
I couldn’t breathe but I’m still thinkin’ about the next gram
It’s Friday night, I’m not trying to leave my crib, duke
I’ll kill myself while the dealer’s eatin’ Japanese food
I ain’t got no pride while buyin’ the shit
I’m lying to myself, telling the runner I’m trying to quit
It’s all make-believe, I’ll pretend that I’m true
And when you give me credit, I’ll dodge you every chance that I get to
Even if it’s good, I’ll sniff it up in a minute
Beep you back and complain that you put too much cut in it
If you fall for that and bring me a new sack
I’ll be making more crazy faces than Jim Carrey on crack
‘Cause, yo, I’m ripped, I owe you loot, plus I annoy you
I deserve to be murdered but the coke is doing it for you
I got nerve, can you put them pills on my bill?
Yo, I tell you we’re friends, and, yo, we don’t even chill, I need drugs
I need drugs
Baking soda, cocaine, how sweet
I need to find me a crack pipe and I’m complete
Got these crack dealers chasing me through the cement jungle
‘Cause they gave me shit to sell, and, yo, I smoked the whole bundle
Yo, I can’t front, I got dope in my spleen
And I’m telling everyone at this N.A. meeting I’m thirty days clean
I won’t die even with tuberculosis
I could go on forever mixing dope with my method dosage
You could find me at Brighton Beach or Coney Island, or Rikers Island
My crack pipe’s my violin, I play along to the police siren
My eyes squint looking for crack on the floor, picking up bread crumbs and lint
I don’t know who I am, ask me, I couldn’t say
I took a chance and tried to get clean, and it lasted one day
Tried to go to rehab, too, but couldn’t get admitted
And if money’s missing from your pocketbook, you know who did it, I need drugs
I need drugs
As a young teen, I started with marijuana
Then graduated to coke ‘cause I needed something stronger
Mescaline, dust, downers, injection sensation
I love to experience a patient’s medication
I’ll snort the drugs off the back of my hands
All I need is a hit of it and I’ll create a new dance
Protect yourself, baby, cover yourself up
My body swings all over once my seizure erupts
Into a frenzy, on the phone I got thirty cent
But when we meet face to face, I got ten dollars less
Made up my mind, I’m quittin’, I’m swearing in tears
I’m not gonna get high, I’ll only drink beers
Can’t sit and wait for my dealer to come provide it
Got a party to go to and I’m the only one invited
I search the whole house for the damn white mouse
And when I finally find it, I’ll sniff the whole ounce, I need drugs
I need drugs
Dealer, listen to me
When I come home from work, fiendin’ for an eight-ball, nose candy on my mind
I’ve come to realize, you need me
And if you want me to keep coppin’, give me a free piece
It’s my birthday, yesterday
Anyway, I’ma go sniff this
I’ll beep you in an hour, I hate you
