Bad habits
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
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-c so what chu gonna do?
The demons inside me, are clinging so tightly, the voices in my head say "You don't wanna come down" m'kay.
A pack a day to get me by, an ounce of weed to keep me high
Alochol 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 don't, 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
Alochol 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 accomplish my task, you can't hold me (me)
A pack a day to get me by, an ounce of weed to keep me high
Alochol 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
Bad habits, bad habits

Verse 1: ~Twista~]
When I'm on the track you will see accuracy
Actually I know that you will see I come at it like a fully
Automatic for [? ] problematic and negativity or whoever [? ]
Pick up a rose and sniff a scent if if you think it's magnificent
Stop the stressin or just catch a blessin if it
If it's bills or if it's rent some of us worry some of us don't that's why everybody so different
The only answer to you problems solve em
Stallin is the only thing that can stop a balla
[? ] world is full of hatred face it
Get out the matrix and let's get back to the basics
Instead of being individual let's practice a ritual and be an indivisible when it's critical
So every time that some drama hit yo doorstep
Gotta try to keep your composure and don't let
[Chorus: (2x)]
Problems (Don't let)
Problems (You can't let)
Problems (You won't let)
Problems upset you
[Verse 2: ~Tech N9ne~]
I'm a problem because I'm different and people don't get it
When I be the clown like a sucka down when I be kickin' my music
Tech is dangerous if you think you can hang with us
Sick in your brain [? ] when I mangle it know that I break and abuse it
I be prayin' to God
Cause what I'm sprayin is odd
And I'm slayin the squad
Tech Nina's layin his ride
I'm insatiable when it comes to be makin this gouda
I'm a sniper killa murderer look out I'm a shoota
A dalima we takin out you beginners comin to my psycho cinema
It's a must that I crush them
If you accustomed to lovey dovey movies
Then you unlucky because they call me Tecca Nina the snuff film
Throwing the fist up
Cause all of my grips up
People was hating but now they zippin their lips up
Neva debated you imitated get ripped up
Stuck off in Necropolis cause Tecca Nina and Twista's a
[Chorus: (2x)]
Problems (Don't let)
Problems (You can't let)
Problems (You won't let)
Problems upset you
[Verse 3: ~Twista~]
My alien complex can get as lethal as bomb threats
When I put together patterns and concepts
But when it come to dealin with pain and problems and relationships I [? ] I ain't the bomb yet
What do we need, what's the resolution
It's the restitution or just retribution let's just start a revolution
But wait, I'm hesitant because I'm
How can I fight to be equal if the president is black and a
A Chi Town resident at that
Hope we focus on this instead of weapons in Iraq
The future is bright or will it be weary
Do I need to pay attention to conspiracy theories
Is the government systematically destroyin the population for the progress of world domination
Smile, even if the landlord callin
[? ] but that the least of your problems
[Chorus: (2x)]
Problems (Don't let)
Problems (You can't let)
Problems (You won't let)
Problems upset you
