Lyrics
They Gave Me Dope
Verse 1:
Politics, hypocrites, made me sick, got me fixed
losing my grip, trying to handle it
Money quick, got a hit, took a lick, they took my brick
Sinking my ship, deep in the pit
Hook:
They gave me dope, they took my hope
They gave me dope
I'm bout to choke, dangling on a rope
Verse 2:
Dark days, bad grades, made me fade, yeah they got me dazed
Blind in the haze, loss in the maze
No play, strange ways, made me phase, got me to stray
Took my pay, no friends today
Hook:
They gave me dope, they took my hope
They gave me dope
I'm bout to choke, dangling on a rope
Instrumental:
Hook:
They gave me dope, they took my hope
They gave me dope
I'm bout to choke, dangling on a rope
Vamp:
Just a lowly one, standing need
Am I the only one, standing need
Just a lowly one, standing need
Am I the only one, standing need
Just a lowly one, standing need
Am I the only one, standing need
Just a lowly one, standing need
Am I the only one, standing need
