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
