Just take a good look around me Got a fever and my head is just pounding I’m sick because this shit is astounding Like why the heck do I bother? Want to pack My bags and get out of state And one my friends is so desperate She’s doing cocaine just to lose weight I lie awake and I’m restless, can’t sleep Because there’s too many questions Please let me get the smith and wesson And I’ll put an end to this stressing Got a friend caught right in the streetlight How do you expect me to sleep at night?
