about

This song was inspired by the heartfelt & personal struggle of addiction with methamphetamine, and the fight within to do better as a person. Loss of peers and family, loss of friends and foes alike. Drugs have no specific target, they hurt everyone around them in the end. Dedicated by Phillie-G to anyone who is fighting one day at a time. Released on all platforms April 1st.

lyrics

I met a girl named Crystal not a drug to me
She had a heart as cold as ice but she wasnt judgin me
The one I wanted as my wife hopped out the truck on me
I lost the apple of my eye cuz she lost trust for me

Bruh I aint have no fallback I had to hug the streets
I had to get it out the mud look at my muddy feet
Naw I ain't cry to God for help thats just the thug in me
Wished nothin but pain for everythang that was above my feet

Random strangers in gas stations they was huggin me
They saw the hate up on my face and gave me hugs for free
Haters found my struggle funny it wasnt fun for me
My skin was healthy outside and dead underneath

Them drugs will turn you into somebody you aint
You can tell I been there done that by the pictures that I paint
Make you burn alot of bridges wanna fix em but you cant
Leave you drownin in yo problems like Titanic when it sank



Dear Methamphetamine I think its time I let you know I think its time I let you know
Dear Methamphetamine I think its time I let you go I think its time I let you go
Dear Methamphetamine you been killin friend & foe You been killin all my friends & you been killin all my foes
Dear Methamphetamine I cant play wit you no moe I cant play wit you no more I just cant wit you no more



Call me junkie call me addict call me what you may
But now Im back up on my hustle now what can you say
The only way is up from here so yeah Im on my way
They thought that I would die in my addiction you gon learn today

I played wit ante & wit crystal I was 19
Unaware of hatred and resentment that it might bring
Drugs was attractive to me like a chick in tight jeans
It cost to be the boss but it pays to do the right thing

I switched to elevate my game why they hatin me
I'm trying not to act like the monster I was made to be
Mad at the universe I had to take a knee
I felt like God and the devil had forsaken me

Left alone in my home I thought of suicide
Reminicin on the pain Ive felt since a juvenile
I cant let the past come destroy what Im doin now
You see that Im a smart black male not a stupid clown



Dear Methamphetamine I think its time I let you know I think its time I let you know
Dear Methamphetamine I think its time I let you go I think its time I let you go
Dear Methamphetamine you been killin friend & foe You been killin all my friends & you been killin all my foes
Dear Methamphetamine I cant play wit you no moe I cant play wit you no more I just cant wit you no more

Dear Methamphetamine I think its time I let you know I think its time I let you know
Dear Methamphetamine I think its time I let you go I think its time I let you go
Dear Methamphetamine you been killin friend & foe You been killin all my friends & you been killin all my foes
Dear Methamphetamine I cant play wit you no moe I cant play wit you no more I just cant wit you no more
