Oh, hey little brother
Youve got so much to discover
Cant you conceptualize
What youre doing to our motherThose drugs that you choose
Leave you left with the blues
Trust me I've been there
To me it's old newsPending disaster
Youre heading there faster
It's tearing me up
To know you get so plasteredBecause youre caught up in the scene
At the age of nineteen
Maybe so was I at the age
But I had a dreamAnd those goddamn powdered drugs
Theyll fill you with doubt
Youre just getting sucked on up in it
And you have to break outYou blacked out on the floor
You told me, the next day they found you that way
Those damn medications had your back baby
It hurt when they took them all awayYoure feeling so bad
Youre looking for a place to land
Help me understand
How in hell it got so out of handI know that it's hard
But youre risking being permanently scared
Youre hurting inside
So youre flirting with tragedy on the dark sideThose drugs that you choose
Leave you left with the blues
Trust me Ive been there
To me it's old newsHey little brother
You messed up another chance
Sooner or later you must take a standAt the edge of it
All where you begin
To consume that product to its very endHow much time is left
Will you collapse
Will you confess you're in a spiritless void
Spinning into excessYou blacked out on the floor
You told me, the next day they found you that way
Those damn medications had your back baby
It hurt when they took them all awayYoure feeling so bad
Youre looking for a place to land
Help me understand
How in hell it got so out of hand, go
