Old Friend

I remember the first time you overdosed
 A fuckin' overload on meth
 The paramedics saved yo' ass
 You was close to ghost
 You never did know which road to go
 It's like you rowed the boat and sailed away and hoped to hit the golden coast
 But you sank like the Titanic
 The incident had left your life damaged
 And that's when I panicked
 You thought you had it locked
 Well you ain't on the right planet
 If you tryna live your life right, plan it
 It's like your mind vanished
 You 'on't even know that
 I wish that we could go back
 'Cause it's so sad when I tell jokes, and you don't laugh like you used to
 I really hate to stress it, but you're strange to mess with
 So I keep my distance 'cause you always got this blank expression
 Like you, confused and unaware of your surroundings
 Emotions I've gone, and no one's found it
 It's overwhelming
 Your mama told you that drugs are bad
 But you ain't listen 'til the fire burned yo' ass, now you understand
 But you always look like you don't know me
 And I'm mad at the world 'cause the meth took away my homie
 Gimme back my homie (please come home)
 I just wanna chill on the neighborhood block like we used to (like we used to)
 Where'd you go?
 I never would've thought my best friend would be gone in the future (future)
 (But I was wrong)
 I shoulda stopped you when I had the chance to do so!
 But back then I had felt like that was too bold
 You started hanging with new folks
 And made the drug environment your new home
 This world is too cold
 Could I have prevented this? Who knows
 They convinced you that the shit was cool, and it's the hip to do
 Saying it would lift your mood and make you feel invincible
 So you started skippin' school, hangin' with these wicked dudes
 Unaware that when you got older you played the bigger fool
 And it's pitiful, where the fuck they at now
 In their mid 20's, passed out inside of a crack house
 Back when you met 'em, I had doubts
 They put you on a bad route
 And when you needed, they help to pick you up, they fuckin' backed out
 They fuckin' got you, I can't lie
 But now you're brains fried
 You don't even act like you, the same guy
 Your mama told you that drugs are bad
 But you ain't listen 'til the fire burned yo' ass, now you understand
 But you always look like you don't know me
 And I'm mad at the world 'cause the meth took away my homie
 Gimme back my homie (please come home)
 I just wanna chill on the neighborhood block like we used to (like we used to)
 Where'd you go?
 I never would've thought my best friend would be gone in the future (future)
 (But I was wrong)
 I ain't never felt this shit before
 It gets me sore
 I reminisce on us playin' Nintendo 64
 And that Christmas in '97 we got new crispy boards
 And we was doin' Ollie's in my kitchen on the slippy floors
 Shit changed, and it happened quick
 But I can't forget that you was the first homie I started rappin' with
 You coulda had half of this back when I had established it
 But now I have to sit and feel bad
 Look at what yo' actions did
 But you were so outgoing, and so hysterical
 Seein' you now is just unbearable, it's terrible
 You shoulda made yo' choices wisely
 Fuckin' with Poison Ivy
 Without yo' brain, please tell me, what would your point in life be
 It's a struggle to get yo' ass to listen
 You really hurt me and the rest of your family with all your bad decisions
 We always told you that drugs are bad
 But you ain't listen 'til the fire burned yo' ass, now you understand
 But you always look like you don't know me
 And I'm mad at the world 'cause the meth took away my homie
 Gimme back my homie (please come home)
 I just wanna chill on the neighborhood block like we used to (like we used to)
 Where'd you go?
 I never would've thought my best friend would be gone in the future (future)
 (But I was wrong)
 Excuse me, do you need a ride?
 Looks like you're going downtown, yes (yeah, yeah, yeah)
 Hop in my ride
 Well hi, I'm Crystal Meth
 I'm your best friend (Crystal Meth)
 I'm all you need (Crystal Meth)
 If you wanna succeed, hop in my ride
 Well hi, I'm Crystal Meth
