Old Dog New Trick

I know said that I would quit but I was insincere All I see is lights flashing "Liquor, you can get it here!" And how bad can it really be, It's just a sip of beer But I never get my fill I drink this swill until my piss is clear They used to call weed a gateway drug But ask a coke dealer where he gets his main pay from Cause his scale weighs chunks For the same 8 drunks And they don't call at 4 am for some Grade A skunk Naw, how many times have I been fired from a job Because I miss so many days and end up lying to my boss? But Adam when you drink you don't act out much That's because I pass out when I black out drunk I've seen Mr. Nice guy belligerent at last call Start a mad brawl swinging like he can't fall Until the bouncers hit him kicking till he can't crawl And leave him twitching like he dipped into the bath salts I'm looking dead into the mirror like I want to quit But every single time I tried it's like I lost my grip Like I bought new kicks Then I walked through shit They say you just can't teach Old dog new tricks I'm looking dead into the mirror like I want to quit But every single time I tried it's like I lost my grip Like I bought new kicks Then I walked through shit They say you just can't teach Old dog new tricks Throw me a bone here, I might just roll over and die Or play dead and close both of my eyes I drank alone on my birthday, a blessing in disguise It made me reconsider who I see as friends up in my eyes All you wanted was a way to escape shit A plug for your drugs and a place to get wasted I've tasted my medicine its bitter to the core And ironic that it tastes just like the liquor that I pour They tell me pink elephants are simple to ignore But you've never had em sit on you and pin you to the floor Like, I need a breath I need a benzo and a friend I need a piece of paper and pencil or a pen This ain't a suicide note its letter of intent Cause I'm out to f*ck the world when I'm gettin my revenge So don't be surprised when I kick in your teeth Cause I've still got a couple hidden tricks up my sleeve I'm looking dead into the mirror like I want to quit But every single time I tried it's like I lost my grip Like I bought new kicks Then I walked through shit They say you just can't teach Old dog new tricks Looking dead into the mirror like I want to quit But every single time I tried it's Like I lost my grip Like I bought new kicks Then I walked through shit They say you just can't teach Old dog new tricks Light this hoop on fire you can hop through this I gotta 2/6 of vodka taking shots too quick Thoughts battle like some cobra vs mongoose shit Like I've got a phantom limb that I got to itch Yeah It fucks you up good but it's not that bad Go cop a case on any corner and just pop that tab I'm thinking, do I need this in order to relax? I've been trying to find my footing like a tortoise on its back Now this isn't easy like in Rocky Montages I snap and call it quits like an octagon stoppage Why do I yearn for its feverish touch? Once you're on your last leg all You need is a crutch But, I think its time I walked Off the beaten path To a place I've never been Where I don't want or need a map So, call up jesus turn this wine Back to water I'm going to have to take a pass On that fine glass of lager I'm looking dead into the Mirror like I want to quit But every single time I tried it's Like I lost my grip Like I bought new kicks Then I walked through shit They say you just can't teach Old dog new tricks I'm looking dead into the Mirror like I want to quit But every single time I tried it's Like I lost my grip Like I bought new kicks Then I walked through shit They say you just can't teach Old dog new tricks
