Cocaine

So low

Door is closed

Trust is broke

Words got choked

In my throat

Can't let go

Of my high hopes

My high hopes...

My high hopes...

(Say what?...)

Papa came home from another day of hard

Work and handed me his key, told me "Go look in the car"

So I went out there to look for what he asked me to get

I was checkin' all the seats but the only thing I saw

Was a bag of cocaine (say what?)

Uh, papa was too silent, he ain't never tell a lie

I went in to tell him 'bout it, he said "Oh, that must be Guy

He worked with me at the job", I said "Oh" and walked away

He said "Oh, before you go, make sure you don't tell your ma'

'Bout the, cocaine" (say what?)

Uh, me and little homie, we was walkin' to the store

It was right there on the corner and we seen a guy that's homeless

He was wrapped up in a blanket, he was lookin' really cold

Then he asked us for some change and he asked us if we know

Who had the, cocaine (say what?) cocaine

I'm losin' my mind, trying to figure out

How did I inherit so much pain

I drink a lot of alcohol, problems with the law

Would I have done better or the same

If daddy never tried cocaine? Uh

Daddy never tried cocaine

Cocaine, uh (say what?)

In my throat

So my father's only next logical step was to go to rehab

Can't let go

And that's exactly what he did

Of my high hopes

He went to rehab and got completely clean

Hasn't done a drug

My high hopes

In over 20 years

He did that for himself but

My high hopes

He did that because he didn't want to lose us

Whew, strong man

Uh, now let's talk about how much I respect my pop

He's been through so much in life, we ain't never had a lot

We just had each other's back, that was really all we need

Pop, I love you unconditional and thanks for loving me

More than, cocaine

My father chose me over cocaine

Cocaine, uh

I'm proud to say that I'm an addict who inherits your pain

Trust is broke

Words got choked

In my throat...
