Everybody got vices, everybody got vices How do you cope? Everybody got vices, everybody got vices How do you cope? How do you cope Take a look around and see the younger generation dying i'm losing hope They got us all taking medication but i swear the mental health thing ain't a joke I'll be the first to tell you money don't make us happy but we ain't happy when we broke We grow this mentality so we can cope "It is what it is" and "that's just how it goes" Take a look around and see the younger generation dying i'm losing hope They got us all taking medication but i swear the mental health thing ain't a joke I'll be the first to tell you money don't make us happy but we ain't happy when we broke We grow this mentality so we can cope "It is what it is" and "that's just how it goes" I knew a guy with inheritance they injected him with heroin while he was sleep His friends wanted P And then went and spent it like fiends Better watch the company you keep I know a girl who phones the social On her friend of over 14 years When they have beef And they still speak Please do not be deceived These streets cold Things are not what they seem Knew a guy who made 100k Then he spent it all on automatic weapons Knew a man who had a heart attack and died He saw his son get hacked with a machete Heard a bunch of young'ns watch a cop get shot While kicking ball, they was tryna play I dunno the names of the kids I just read the front page of the place Where i grew up and stayed And it's never gon change It will always be this way Same as it was in the day If you saw you would say It's been engrained in our brains From young we been trained not to break I know a guy that got a girl tatted on him Then she ratted on him now he's gone That was a long time ago and i know she don't Think about him coming home Take a look around and see the younger generation dying i'm losing hope They got us all taking medication but i swear the mental health thing ain't a joke I'll be the first to tell you money don't make us happy but we ain't happy when we broke We grow this mentality so we can cope "It is what it is" and "that's just how it goes" Take a look around and see the younger generation dying i'm losing hope They got us all taking medication but i swear the mental health thing ain't a joke I'll be the first to tell you money don't make us happy but we ain't happy when we broke We grow this mentality so we can cope "It is what it is" and "that's just how it goes" I don't mean to try to preach Its just i believe Society's gona crumble If you have anxiety Then take Quetiapine It will quietly numb you Let me not get too political with it Cus we know they violently f*ck you And i know i wrestle with vices myself so I try remain silently humble But i see the drug use in my neighbourhood And see how we abuse it order to cope The fucking government tells you It understands But the underclass knows it don't Go try see a doctor bout real trauma Not have pills knocked down your throat Try Pregablin next years campaign See how many still vote As for story i'm painting Im not into glorification I tell em all dont live like me Would you believe That we're all in pain Tryna find peace? What do you need for you to feel free? What do you take to not feel?
