Poison
Shahmen Lyrics

Water is all polluted
The environment is in a state of disarray and disorder.

Beach is all just sewage
Even the most idyllic locations are not immune to the chaos.

And I'm just tryna find my girl
Attempting to locate the missing piece of one's existence.

Before it all is ruined (hey!)
Trying to salvage what remains of our decaying world.

Woke up in Venice beach
Awakening to one's surroundings, even if they're not desirable.

With an itch for some nicotine
Giving in to one's addictions and vices.

Stepped outside and saw the sun
Realizing that it's not always gloomy and dark.

And felt the rays against my cheek
Appreciating the warmth of the sun and the beauty of nature.

Life is sweet
Recognizing that life can be enjoyable and pleasurable.

But the end is near so wasting time is suicide
Knowing that we must make the most of what little time we have.

I'm down to ride
Choosing to face our struggles and battles head on.

And I'm always here
Being present and willing to endure the hardships.

Locked up in my own heart
Feeling trapped and confined by our emotions and thoughts.

Tryna find my own peace
Striving to attain inner tranquility and harmony.

Focus on survival
Prioritizing our basic needs and requirements.

And forget about that ol' feast
Giving up our materialistic wants and desires.

I'm all good, no bad days
Optimistic outlook on life, despite the challenges and hardships.

Crushing out a roach
Extinguishing a smoking device, likely marijuana.

With my two fingers in the ash tray
Putting out a smoking implement with one's fingers.

Unfolding like a lotus
Transforming and blossoming, much like a lotus flower.

Happiness is my motive
Prioritizing joy and contentment in life.

Poetry is my modus
Expressing oneself through the art of language and verse.

Used to fear that no one would notice
Feeling insecure and uncertain about one's worth and value.

Now there's thousands that know this
Gaining recognition and validation for one's work.

And Russians who can quote it
Gaining international acclaim and recognition for one's work.

Woke up and I'm zoning
Feeling spaced out and in a trance-like state of mind.

Started writing and owned it (uh)
Embracing and taking control of one's creative endeavors.

Say the end is coming
Believing that the world is on the brink of destruction.

And ain't no point in running
Coming to terms with the inevitability of the end.

Nowhere safe there's no escape
Understanding that there is no refuge or sanctuary from the end.

This karma's gon' be something
The repercussions of our past actions are coming to fruition.

Schools keep on closing
The education system is failing and deteriorating.

But the prisons always stay open
The justice system is flawed and inhumane.

Whole system is broken
The world is falling apart and in disarray.

Can of worms has been opened
Revealing the ugly truths and realities of the world.

Might as well keep smoking
Giving up on trying to fix the world and indulging in one's vices.

Cease the day and go and own it
Seizing the day and taking control of one's destiny and future.

Dig a grave and toss a rose at all of my opponents
Burying the hatchet and showing respect for one's adversaries after their demise.

Blow a kiss straight to my girl
Expressing one's love and affection for their significant other.

She's the only one in the world
The importance and significance of one's love in their life.

Share my bed and all my bread
Being generous and devoted to one's partner.

Fingers running through her curls
Appreciating and admiring one's partner's physical features.

But now I gotta find her
The urgency and importance of locating one's lost love.

Lost her in the summer
Losing one's love in a time of euphoria and carelessness.

All alone and the worlds end
Feeling isolated and alone during the end of the world.

And what a fucking bummer
The disappointment and despair of losing one's love during the apocalypse.

But swear to God I'ma find her
The unwavering devotion and determination to locate one's lost love.

'Cause true love waits (ahh)
The belief that true love is worth waiting for and fighting for.

Been singing all these love songs
Expressing one's love and devotion through music and art.

Before it's just too late
The urgency and importance of expressing one's love before it's too late.
