[Verse 1: FR33STYLE] Who wants to wait for twenty-one? Must be no fun when everyone expects you to get drunk So why not start a few years early, get the ball rollin' Start waking up surly, and spend the late nights strollin' Make it look like you're looking for trouble What's the big deal acting reckless, man you're your own stunt double Now you feel more accepted by the older folks And it's just not as fun when you're sober though So your conscience is quickly overthrown Man, why not take the risk and chance an overdose? You ain't getting into any fights, you're not on that scene Nah, you're not a bad kid, so far your record's clean You ain't rockin' expensive drinks up in the club Trying to find cheap love, nah you're above that Not bad at all, not messin with d** or none of that You only get buzzed because you say You see the world more clearly when it's fuzzed You start not acting like yourself, but it's the you you've come to know Why should you take anyone's help, you can handle life on your own You know what's good for your health; you're a man, almost full grown And that paycheck is building your wealth, plus a little money to blow Word spreads quick, your reputation becomes very prominent Now you a hard-hitting alcoholic, but not anonymous Despite your best efforts Your buddies keep on saying how ‘Everyone is on to us' They're online asking who wants to chill, just look how many commented! When the gang decides to hang over at your house, you'll be hung over That's no doubt, all those fluid ounces are bound to make you lose count So before 8 o'clock it's already lights out But right now, you planning a sick party Knowing the whole crew's gonna want something more hearty They got you thinking fancy, maybe Bacardi and rum Or whatever the people bring, long as you got you some Yeah, the big night finally comes, the girls are hot And you got bottles galore, almost makes you look like you not poor So you popped the tops and then poured Taking shots and some more, then you drop to the floor Cops at your door, homies already hopped off the porch The warnings you forgot, or ignored Now you on the spot in a one-sided war They got you locked behind bars, are you shocked where you are? You usually stop before you go too far But it's too late and you're alone hammered in the slammer Yeah, some real friends they are! This madness has you on the verge of losing everything you have Finally realizing you're ending up just like your old man The dad who didn't deal with you ‘cause he had enough problems You start sobbing ‘cause you been on that same road, steady followin' ‘Bout to break down and finally hit rock bottom Uh, now ain't that a sad life to have With only regrets to show for going down the wrong path
