Song lyrics
The long-awaited Detox, trick
'Cause maybe I don't wanna stop, maybe I don't wanna quit
Maybe I like hoes, maybe I don't want a wife, maybe I'm psycho
Maybe I'm crazy, maybe I'm strapped right now, just maybe
Maybe it's a relapse
Maybe I'm high right now; where the weed at?
Maybe this is ER
Maybe I'm a real doc' and this is CPR
Maybe we need to breathe some life in this shit
Maybe we are the life of this shit
Maybe I'm just crazy (Crazy)
What they say? (What they say?) Sak pase (Sak pase)
Nap boulé (nap boulé) Ayyy
Ugh, ah
Dre, I think I need my sponsor
I'm just outta contro-o-ol
Maybe I got hoes, every little city I go, like Paco
We tryna grow, but I just can't seen her
I'm having trouble cleaning up, I'm like FEMA
All these little haters got me back with the Nina
Got me bringing guns to work, Gilbert Arenas
Uh, I don't know if it's the Goose talking
But you know they say the liquor get your truth talking
Maybe I should be somewhere in the group talking
I'm addicted to coupes and taking roofs off 'em
I'm addicted to watches, Heckler and Koches
Them bow-legged girls from the projects
It's Bed-Stuy in this bitch (Bed-Stuy!)
Dre, what's up? (It's Westside over here)
I'm in this party, I'm up to no good
And I should be ducking these clubs, Tiger Woods
I smoke (I smoke), I drink (I drink)
I'm supposed to stop, but I can't
Nigga, don't ask why (Ask why), I get high (I get high)
I'm just living my mo'fucking life
So what? I'm drunk (I'm drunk)
And I'm a weed head (Weed head)
And I'ma treat every day like the weekend
Headfirst off the deep end
Yeah, you know what's happening
I'm just relapsing
