lyrics

Verse 1: When The Chronic dropped I swear I fell in love / but I was too young to even know what chronic was / A few years later i was introduced to bud / and my heart strings were tugged as soon as it hit my lungs / Doin' what was considered right, I'd had enough / and I acted out of spite by abusin' the drug / Too much was somethin' that was never enough / Like a bumblebee, the way I kept a buzz / Like a chimney, the way I smoked so much / as a sign the fire inside was too hot to touch / Too cold to hold, I boldly broke the mold / by controllin' my lows like they were mine to control / The windows to me soul were red as the Devil's nose / and able to see all the things that weren't shown / Friends that were foes, lies that were told / and how young and old we fear what we don't know
(Hook)
Verse 2: She was from the other side of the tracks, I was a straight-edge jock / Nobody ever thought that she and I would go out / But we knew the same people and went to the same places / so we slowly started to get better acquainted / She consoled me when I was told I wouldn't make it / and opened up my eyes to the real in a world of fakeness / Got me out of the matrix, sorta like it was fated / and if I became jaded, that's another thing Mary Jane did / I love her nonetheless, she's relieved so much stress / and brought out my best when my mind wouldn't rest / But Mom and Pop hated the fact that we ever dated / and we would get degraded when we went in some places / Like it was illegal and she wasn't good people / but she was my equal, self-aware and cerebral / And if bein' together is wrong to some people / I guess, to the rest, I Don't Wanna Be Right either
(Hook)
