I can take myself to a place where my mind doesn’t want to wander then the colors fade and reflections blemish the thoughts I forget where I am by the bottle I can see everything I’m facing my demons And I just got to hold on If I could only be stronger Got to hold on I don’t have much longer
Verse I
She used to keep me warm in the winter November through December Were we going or coming? This I cannot remember Things you must remember I was told by master splinter Don’t you ever bring your bad habits to dinner Win or lose She was the breaker to my fuse Infatuated? Nope, this was addiction that I could not refuse She taught me to abuse The bearer of bad news like Ferris Bueller shorty had me breaking all the rules She was no good for me like UV Rays Keep this up one of us gonna die like UGK And usually the poor bastard bites the bullet Pull it, Intoxicated like I really shouldn’t Mullets have gone out of style Meanwhile, my love for you guys on like Celine Dion This is message in bottle Pop the top and swallow Trying to tell myself it doesn’t matter, because
Chorus I
Here I stand with a bottle in my hand And I’m spinning a web Spinning it and spinning it “Mind over matter” she said to me Now I can’t believe that I’m spinning in the web I spin
Verse II
We used to make love on the freeway In the club like the DJ If you heard otherwise, you probably heard hearsay Memories, I’ve been thinking about you Like a threesome with Deja we rendezvous You harlot, Jezebel and Delilah Power of seduction lies strictly in your vagina If king Solomon and Sampson were both fools Then I’m sitting next to both of them on a bar stool Tool, I’m about to lose it for the scent of a woman Off in the deep end and I’ve done gave up swimming Why the walls are spinning Why the lights are dimming Carnivale sexual , we love to fornicate and sin Now we’re Howling at the moon engaging in raw sex Marijuana mixed with ex and things to that effect Mama says I need to leave Im convinced I really need her trying to tell myself it doesnt matter Because
Chorus II
Bridge
I just got to hold on, Got to be stronger I can take myself to a place where my mind doesn’t want to wander then the colors fade and reflections blemish the thoughts
Verse III
All alone in a desolate landscape feeling like a great MC without a fanbase New pace, last leg, second wind of the race I found out it wasn’t love but just the thrill of the chase Cause diamonds aren’t forever and neither is pleasure Just because It looks and feels like doesn’t make it leather, Pleather You can keep the trunk but not the fucking treasure At the end the weight of gold will not surpass the weight of feathers When faced with reality Im finally thinking rationally This moment of disparity, Now moment of clarity I was terminally ill and she become my Elixir Feels like I sold my sold to the devil for a quart of malt liquor Like oh my, American Pie, If love was a river then a river has gone dry Alcoholic was I, was I! Now I can tell myself it doesn’t matter because
Chorus III
Here I stand now that I’m in command And I’m leaving the web I’ve been Spinning it and spinning it broken the bottles that blinded me Now Finally I can see everything I just got to hold on, Got to be stronger
