There was a dope dealer
on every corner
another slow healer
chemical imbalance disorder
another small town
zooming in, lens on the Benz
the time is getting closer;
slow drag and a sip a little slower
slow turn, Left on the streets;
in the right lane gears changed
move over, tweakin' fiend helps his fellow stoner.
I've got to leave, hit the highway full speed
next town over
palm trees, salty summer breeze
find me where my poverty is relieved
as I switch gears, vision of my own life clear
living the life I've earned, a new beginning is near
full platter with a cake well served
a change of mind changed the way my world turns,
living by my own terms, acceptance to the new life I deserve.
