Bad Habits

(Bad habits, Bad habits)
Picked a few up nine years in this game
(Bad habits, Bad habits)
Life style's fast driving me insane
(Bad habits, bad habits)
Daily doses you just got to maintain
(Bad habits, bad habits)
Drinking beer, smoking weed, and a pack a day

A pack a day (Cigarettes) seven grams of weed (chronic)
A beer when i'm ready (Bud light)
Yall know me, (Who?) yeah I got some habits, I picked up a few, it's the d-lo-c so what chuh gonna do?

The demons inside me, are clinging so tightly, the voices in my head say You don't wanna come down Mmm'kay.

A pack a day to get me by, an ounce of weed to keep me
high
Alcohol still numbs the pain, some things in life just never
change
I don't know but i've been told, you live this way you won't grow old
Our addiction hits so quick, these bad habits are hard to quit

(Bad habits, Bad habits)
Everybody has them, who you got to blame?
(Bad habits, Bad habits)
Flush it all away, go an' spit it down the drain
(Bad habits, Bad habits)
Chemical dependencies have a hold of your brain
(Bad habits, Bad habits)
When my time comes, I'll go out with a bang

I got problems that I don't tell many, talk about bad habits shit, I got plenty
Nicotine, weed, beer, shooting pool and playing cards,
mushrooms, pills, strange pussy, fast cars

Yeah, Jonny Richter, pass the mic, better yet dawg, need to
pass the pipe
I'm trying to hit that shit, but you're not paying attention, I
wanna pack a rip, don't trip just keep sitting

A pack a day to get me by, an ounce of weed to keep me high
Alcohol still numbs the pain, some things in life just never
change
I don't know but i've been told, you live this way you won't
grow old
Our addiction hits so quick, these bad habits are hard to quit

(Bad habits, Bad habits)
Picked a few up nine years in this game
(Bad habits, Bad habits)
Life style's fast driving me insane
(Bad habits, Bad habits)
Daily doses you just got to maintain
(Bad habits, Bad habits)
Drinking beer, smoking weed, and a pack a day

This addiction has its fangs in me, gotta quit gotta kick for my
family
Cuz if I crash fast everybody's outie, And that's way too
heavy pressing on me

It's the d double dash, I bash like an army, and when it's time
to mash, I crash really strongly
I always pop a pill with the three roll bent I complish my task,
you can't hold me (me)

A pack a day to get me by, an ounce of weed to keep me
high
Alcohol still numbs the pain, some things in life just never
change
I don't know but I've been told, you live this way you won't
grow old
Our addiction hits so quick, these bad habits are hard to quit

Your eyes they just won't open, you don't know what you
been smoking
Got your whole family hoping Oh I wish that he'd just slow
down (slow down)
The game is tough and silent where these groups are just
smokin', soldier.
You're smoking and then toking and you're dead in the
ground (Na Mean?)

A pack a day to get me by, an ounce of weed to keep me
high
Alcohol still numbs the pain, some things in life just never
change
I don't know but i've been told, you live this way you won't
grow old
Our addiction hits so quick, these bad habits are hard to quit
