Addict
Scratch-n-Sniff Lyrics

The lyrics of "Addict" by Scratch-n-Sniff portray a narrative of a person who is indulging in addictive behaviors, symbolized by the comparison to a crack addict. The opening lines, "Runnin' up the racks now I feel like a crack addict / Did a lil snow, too cold now I'm asthmatic," suggest a reckless pursuit of material wealth and the use of drugs like cocaine. This excessive lifestyle is also reflected in the mention of multiple sexual encounters and sagging pants, indicating a lack of self-control and a desire for attention.

The lyrics further emphasize the consequences of these actions, with references to the police confiscating drugs ("I can't smoke yo dope cause the cops had it") and the need to hide illicit substances ("You should pay me a visit I know where to stash it"). The line "Want beef with me?, I have to toe tag it" implies a readiness to resort to violence in order to protect oneself and maintain a sense of power and control. The mention of wearing "off white" could allude to a persona of superiority and status, even within the confines of a prison.

The second verse introduces a female character who is described as a "bad lil bitch with no masters degree." This suggests that she may not conform to societal expectations or traditional standards of success, but is still respected and appreciated by the singer for her unconventional qualities. The lyrics also hint at a sexual relationship with this woman, but there is a sense of detachment as the singer sends her away afterward, reinforcing a casual and transactional approach to intimacy.

The final repetition of the chorus highlights the recurring theme of feeling like a "crack addict" and the relentless pursuit of pleasure, material gain, and self-gratification. Overall, the song reflects a dark and self-destructive mindset, illustrating the consequences of addiction and impulsive behavior, as well as the superficiality of certain societal norms and expectations.
