Bad habits
Bad habits
Bad habits, bad habits
Picked a few up nine years in this game
Bad habits, bad habits
Lifestyle's fast driving me insane
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)
y'all know me, (Who?)
yeah I got some habits, I picked up a few,
it's the d-lo-see so what chu gonna do?
The demons inside me, are clinging so tightly,
the voices in my head say "You don't want to come down" m'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 and 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, Johnny Richter, pass the mic
Better yet don't, need to pass the pipe
I'm trying to hit that shit, but you're not paying attention
I want to 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 wishing addition is kinda strange to me
Gotta quit gotta kick for my family
'Cause 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 (Nah 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

The Kottonmouth Kings' song "Bad Habits" is a reflection on the various vices that the band members have picked up over their years in the music industry. The lyrics offer a confessional tone as each member shares their own bad habits, which range from smoking and drinking to drug use and promiscuity. The chorus repeats the phrase "Bad habits" in a way that emphasizes the weight of these personal struggles.
Throughout the song, the band acknowledges the negative impact their habits have on their lives and the need to control them. They express their hope to "flush it all away" and "go and spit it down the drain." However, they also recognize the addictive nature of their habits and how difficult it can be to quit them. As the song ends, they seem resigned to the fact that their "addiction hits so quick" and that these bad habits are "hard to quit."
Overall, "Bad Habits" is a very personal song that provides insight into the experiences and struggles of the Kottonmouth Kings. It shows that even successful musicians deal with personal demons and vices, and demonstrates the importance of acknowledging and addressing these issues in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
