CASisDEAD Lyrics

They just make you worse
But I know I'll see your face again
Pretty puke puddle that I'm laying in
Phone alarm's going off
Fuck it though, I'm lyin in
I'm wire thin
Maybe it's this vicodin
It's strung me out like a violin
Fiend Simon dialed me in
He's trying to buy a ting
It's mad I used to look down at him
For piping up and firing
Talking to myself, not recognising who's replying
I'm becoming so much like the clients that I've been supplying
Fuck the sentimental shite
I'm mental when I get mortal like
I pop a pill and then spike this bitch
And then fuck her until she ain't walking right
My buzz don't last for half a night
My comedown is too hard too fight
Euphoria, she leaves with my endorphins
And I'm forced to keep endorsing
This extortionate emotional support
Even though I know that I'll never get the same high as before
I just keep shovelling this shit up until my nostrils get sore
Until Si picks me off the floor
Skunk, cannabis, about half a cancer stick
Rolled up in a juicy blunt
Slow burner, candlestick
I'm with Uncle Mix, cocaine and a couple of chicks
IPhone for a couple of pics
Couple of lines off a couple of tits
But my life's shit
Drugs seem like the quickest fix
Temporary escape from the estates
And all the fucking pricks
That's why I'm in such a rush to take the first hit or first sip
E&J burnt up my throat
Fucking roach burnt up my lip
Then it wears off
And I feel like I'm worse off
Looking out on London bridge
Thinking about throwing myself off
Nah, that's soft
There's better ways that I could feel his wrath
I got loads of gear in my loft
I got loads of pills I can scoff
Is it Smirnoff?
The reason I'm looking like a Goth
Fuck knows but I'll tell you what
There's blood coming out when I cough
Spent most of my life in the dark
Chasing the light like a moth
Eventually the light will turn off
Sensing the party's over
I'm not looking over my shoulder
Lucy pulls me closer
Fuck it I'm bored, let's go, let's ghost her
Sick of all the boasters
Loads of niggas sniffing that Frankie Cocozza
Thinking they the Cosa Nostra
So much talk of toasters
Gold Roleys and roadsters
Hoes that make sex tapes and then become role models on shows and posters (slags)
It's clear the end is nigh
The Mayans, they said so suh
Fuck it just take me now, I'm done
Lets wrap it up like a samosa
Consultant says they're running out of things to try
The ain't working right, It's only fucking up my insides
As I document my decline
A famous line just springs to mind
The drugs don't work, they make you worse
Every type and every kind
Even one's designed to help you fight just seem so shite
And all the side effects they leave you with no life and no respite
No end in sight
But these cunts, they don't know what it's like
Ask my boy Charlie, he'll tell you straight
Real talk and no hype, like
The first few lines of CASisDEAD's song "Drugs" - "Now the drugs don't work, they just make you worse, but I know I'll see your face again" - highlight the theme of the song, which is the negative impact of drugs. The singer acknowledges that even though drugs don't work, and actually make the situation worse, they still continue using them. The singer describes the various types of drugs he uses, including Vicodin, cocaine, and cannabis. He explains that he is aware of the detrimental effects of these drugs but still finds it hard to resist the temporary escape they provide, especially from the life in the estate and the people around him.
The lyrics of "Drugs" reflect a certain nihilistic attitude towards life, a feeling of hopelessness and despair that finds relief in drugs. The singer sees himself as one of the clients he supplies and recognizes that he has become what he used to look down upon. This aspect of the song highlights a cyclical pattern of drug use and abuse that affects different social classes. The lyrics also touch on the commercialization of drugs, illustrated through the reference to "Frankie Cocozza" and the role of the media in the standardization of certain behaviors.

Now the drugs don't work
The effectiveness of drugs has worn off
They just make you worse
Drugs cause more harm than good
But I know I'll see your face again
I have hope that I'll be able to overcome addiction and see a better future
Pretty puke puddle that I'm laying in
I'm in a disgusting state due to drug use
Phone alarm's going off
My phone is ringing
Fuck it though, I'm lyin in
I don't care about answering the phone
I'm wire thin
I'm very thin
I dunno why, I ain't dieting
I don't know why I'm thin, I'm not actively trying to lose weight

Perhaps it's due to the effects of the drug Vicodin
It's strung me out like a violin
Vicodin has made me feel addicted and out of control
Fiend Simon dialed me in
Simon, who is a drug user, called me to buy drugs
He's trying to buy a ting
Simon is trying to purchase drugs
It's mad I used to look down at him
It's ironic that I once judged Simon for his drug use, but now I'm in the same position
For piping up and firing
For being vocal about his drug use and taking drugs
Talking to myself, not recognising who's replying
I'm so lost in my own thoughts and the drug-induced haze that I can't distinguish reality from my own imagination
I'm becoming so much like the clients that I've been supplying
I'm turning into the drug users that I sell drugs to
Fuck the sentimental shite
I don't care about emotional stuff right now
I'm mental when I get mortal like
I become emotionally unstable when I drink or take drugs
I pop a pill and then spike this bitch
I take a pill then have sex with someone
And then fuck her until she ain't walking right
I have sex until the woman can't walk properly anymore
My buzz don't last for half a night
The high from drugs doesn't last very long
My comedown is too hard too fight
The after-effects of drugs are difficult to deal with
Euphoria, she leaves with my endorphins
The feeling of happiness and well-being from drugs fades away quickly
And I'm forced to keep endorsing
I'm compelled to keep using drugs
This extortionate emotional support
Drugs give me a temporary escape from my problems
Even though I know that I'll never get the same high as before
I realize that drugs won't give me the same feeling of euphoria as they did before
I just keep shovelling this shit up until my nostrils get sore
I continue to snort drugs even though it causes pain and damage to my body
Until Si picks me off the floor
I'll keep using drugs until Simon comes to rescue me
Skunk, cannabis, about half a cancer stick
Weed and half a cigarette mixed together
Rolled up in a juicy blunt
The mixture is rolled in a cigar wrapping paper
Slow burner, candlestick
The blunt takes a long time to smoke, like a candle
I'm with Uncle Mix, cocaine and a couple of chicks
I'm hanging out with a guy named Uncle Mix and two women while using cocaine
IPhone for a couple of pics
I'm taking pictures with my iPhone
Couple of lines off a couple of tits
I'm snorting cocaine off the breasts of one of the women
But my life's shit
Despite taking drugs and being with women, my life is not fulfilling
Drugs seem like the quickest fix
I turn to drugs as a quick solution to my problems
Temporary escape from the estates
Drugs give me a temporary escape from the poor, urban areas where I live
And all the fucking pricks
I'm angry with the people I come into contact with
That's why I'm in such a rush to take the first hit or first sip
I'm eager to take drugs quickly to escape reality
E&J burnt up my throat
Drinking E&J brandy causes pain and discomfort in my throat
Fucking roach burnt up my lip
Smoking weed roaches cause burns on my lips
Then it wears off
The effects of drugs eventually fade away
And I feel like I'm worse off
After the high wears off, I feel even more depressed and unhappy than before
Looking out on London bridge
I'm standing on London Bridge, contemplating my life
Thinking about throwing myself off
I consider committing suicide
Nah, that's soft
Deciding to commit suicide is a weak decision
There's better ways that I could feel his wrath
There are better ways to deal with my problems than committing suicide
I got loads of gear in my loft
I have a lot of drugs stored in my loft
I got loads of pills I can scoff
I have many pills that I can take
Is it Smirnoff?
I question what I'm drinking
The reason I'm looking like a Goth
The drugs I'm taking make me look like a gothic person
Fuck knows but I'll tell you what
I don't know why I look like a goth, but I'll tell you something else
There's blood coming out when I cough
I'm experiencing medical problems, like coughing up blood
Spent most of my life in the dark
I've lived a difficult and troubled life
Chasing the light like a moth
I'm always searching for a better and brighter future
Eventually the light will turn off
At some point, I'll no longer have hope for a better future
Sensing the party's over
I realize that the party and the fun is coming to an end
I'm not looking over my shoulder
I'm not worried or anxious about anything right now
Lucy pulls me closer
A woman named Lucy comes near me
Fuck it I'm bored, let's go, let's ghost her
I'm bored, so let's leave and ditch Lucy
Sick of all the boasters
I'm tired of people who brag or show off
Loads of niggas sniffing that Frankie Cocozza
Many people are using cocaine like Frankie Cocozza, a celebrity who was known for his drug use
Thinking they the Cosa Nostra
People act like they're part of the Mafia or a similar group
So much talk of toasters
People talk about guns (which can get so hot that they resemble toasters)
Gold Roleys and roadsters
People brag about expensive watches and cars
Hoes that make sex tapes and then become role models on shows and posters (slags)
Women who make sex tapes and then become famous are promoted as role models, despite being promiscuous
It's clear the end is nigh
It's obvious that everything is coming to a close
The Mayans, they said so suh
The Mayan civilization supposedly predicted the end of the world
Fuck it just take me now, I'm done
I'm giving up and ready for the end to come
Lets wrap it up like a samosa
Let's wrap things up like a food dish
Consultant says they're running out of things to try
Medical professionals can't keep coming up with new treatments for my drug addiction
The ain't working right, It's only fucking up my insides
The current treatment methods aren't working and are causing damage to my body
As I document my decline
I'm keeping track of my own downfall
A famous line just springs to mind
I remember a well-known quote
The drugs don't work, they make you worse
Drugs are ineffective and harmful
Every type and every kind
All drugs are problematic
Even one's designed to help you fight just seem so shite
Even drugs designed to help with addiction and health problems aren't effective
And all the side effects they leave you with no life and no respite
The side effects of drugs take away any quality of life and provide no relief
No end in sight
There seems to be no solution or end to my addiction and suffering
But these cunts, they don't know what it's like
People who haven't experienced drug addiction don't understand what it's like
Ask my boy Charlie, he'll tell you straight
Charlie, who is also a drug user, can give you an honest answer about drugs
Real talk and no hype, like
He'll talk truthfully and without exaggeration
