Running Late

Yet Again, Yancy

Rinse and Repeat

Running Late

Unemployed - Felonies have gone down on his permanent record

A drug addict at his best

Cocaine – white powder

He lives fast and free

Snorts fast and freely

No needles in this arm

No smoke in these lungs

No brain in this head

Only cocaine – white powder

Tap tap tap – Open - Tap tap tap – Pour - Tap tap tap – Cut - Tap tap tap

Scrape scrape scrape - Straw

Stick it in deep enough

Inhale

Cocaine – white powder

Feel the burn - Feel the sting

Tear runs down the face

Sweet tear of victory

Victory with pain and suffering - Victory in cocaine

Cocaine – white powder

Numb inside and out, yet on full flames

Drainage - Sweet painful drainage

Tastes the high – Swallow - Wait

Cocaine -white powder

Rinse and repeat

Running late to Effie’s

Lobster gumbo and roasted asparagus with a light truffle glaze

Twice baked potatoes

Lemmi and Effie’s at 7 - Clock reads 6:55 - Faster faster

Running late to Effie’s

Cocaine – white powder

Rinse and repeat
