'Cause You Never Know

Stayed up really, really late listening to NaS and drinking pear vodka.

I wanted to get fucked up, and pear vodka was the only thing in the house.

I hardly every get fucked up or even modestly curated these days. It’s no kind of abstemiousness: I’ve just never liked smoking weed much, and alcohol is mostly a social thing. My drugs of choice are out of reach.

But man, did I want that out-of-body experience last night.

I suppose I have a lot to process.

Life's a bitch and then you die, that's why we get high
‘Cause you never know when you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you die, that's why we puff lye
‘Cause you never know when you're gonna go

I woke up early on my born day; I'm 20, it's a blessin'
The essence of adolescence leaves my body, now I'm fresh and
My physical frame is celebrated ‘cause I made it
One quarter through life, some godly-like thing created
Got rhymes 365 days annual, plus some
Load up the mic and bust one, cuss while I pus from
My skull, ‘cause it's pain in my brain vein, money maintain
Don't go against the grain, simple and plain…
