lyrics

Back when I turned 21
I found a savior in a coke and rum
Self medicate, self medicate
Need medicine, Need medicine

Is there a better way to slow down
This is the only way I know how
My mind is running at the speed of sound
When it hits the wall, I'll be hitting the ground

I'm still workin it out
I'm still walkin on the ground
Though my head is somewhere up in the clouds

I fly high in the sky
Now I feel like I could die
I need a parachute to get down

You can see by the reds of my eyes
That my little cup is getting dry
Please medicate, please medicate
Need medicine, need medicine

No pharmaceuticals, don't want no chemicals
or aphrodesiacs, you can have em back
I need the liquid form, go to the liquor store
I can't take my head, can't take it anymore

Don't feel like being up all night
Tossin, turning from side to side
Obsessing about tomorrow morning
If you wanna see me suffer then keep me sober
