Cocaine - Mc Shan

Now, this is what happened but I wasn’t upset

See, it all started with this girlie I met

I really liked this girl, but she made me sad

‘Cause she almost made me trick off every dime I had

Now listen to this story that I have in store

‘Cause it talks about this girl you mighta met before

See, I was chillin' at a party, I was out gettin' loose

When me and this young lady was first introduced

She was lookin' so sweet, a glitter came to my eye

They said they’d call sucker if I let her pass by

What I felt inside from that very first night

We were a perfect couple ‘cause she made me feel right

From that day, all my hopes and dreams were lost

The more she came around, the more she started to cost

Then she got me to the point, I feel so down

Each and every time that she wasn’t around

Well, lotsa times when she’s around, I often sigh

‘Cause she had me in control and I didn’t know why

I shoulda cut her off, that woulda been smart

But I found it really hard for us to part

With a heart as cold as mine, I feel that’s a shame

Every time I turn my back on her, she called my name

(Shan) (repeated a bunch of times)

I would always regret the first day we met

I wanted her so bad, she had me dripping with sweat

Every time I came home, she had me tricking my pay

And when I told her that I love her, she had nothing to say

She drove me so crazy, stone outta my mind

She beat me so bad, my rent was months behind

I finally see she had me caught in her own little way

So I tried to get her back just by staying away

But when I used to feel good, she had me singing her chant

See, I tried to stay away but I found that I can’t

I went to see her, copped a plea, why I don’t have a friend

You do me right, my love, that’s why I’m back to see you again

All the days that I was gone, I was going through hell

My heart was beating so fast, my head started to swell

When I was by her side, I felt so secure

When I met this young lady, she was nice and pure

I don’t know what her reaction was on some

But when I kissed this girl, my mouth went numb

Now, from that point, I should have known

But my love for this girl since the day has grown

Girls like this are one of a kind

She’ll free your soul and clear your mind

Stay away from this girl, take my advice

She’s as pure as snow, her heart is cold as ice

I was under spell, she had my brain

Don’t you know by now that her name was cocaine

Stay away from this girl if you wanna stay sane

She’ll pick your pockets and damage your brain

Girls like this really ain’t no joke

She’ll only be yours ‘til the day you go broke

If you see her on the streets, don’t give her a grin

‘Cause it won’t be long before she sucks you in

So before you have a problem that you can’t solve

With tricky girls like this, don’t you get involved

‘Cause it will be a short time and you will be through

There’s no tellin' what reaction she could have on you

To some, this girl is just a passing phase

And she’s even made some cold change their ways

From doctors, studying the medical books

Into big time liars and petty cash crooks

She doesn’t know when to stop, she’ll take things too far

You’ll be pawning your gold as well as selling your car

She’ll be your friend, oh me, oh my

Up until the day that the well runs dry

That’s right, you heard just what I said

‘Til the well runs dry or your ass drops dead

She’ll change your life, you’ll say ‘dag-nab-it'

She’ll just turn out to be another bad habit

So please take heed to the things I’ve said

And never let this girl mess with your head

Stay away from this girl if you wanna stay sane

She’ll pick your pockets and damage your brain

Girls like this really ain’t no joke

She’ll only be yours ‘til the day you go broke
