“Music and Liquor” by Wax. Changing for the better is hard.
Lyrics:
Yeah
EOM, man
I like to drink a lot,
a lot of people like to party ‘n shit,
but lately its just been getting ridiculous, man.
Yo, I spent all my money on women and wine
And didn’t give enough time to the rhythm and rhyme
I stay focused on the nickel and dime
I should be Benjamin thinkin’
But when I get ‘em I be spendin’ ‘em drinkin’
And then I wake up
Feelin’ nervous and lifeless
A thin line between worthless and priceless
When my life gets confusing ahead of me
I don’t ever solve problems I just start boozin heavily
In San Diego I got off work every day around four
And every single day the road worker next door
come home with an 18 pack of Miller highlife
I said, “my life’s headed down a path that is way to sim-
iliar. I’d prefer not to end up like him”
And I’d look up and I’d cringe
But every time I try to change,
I say, fuck it, and binge
That’s my life.
I’ve been with you so long
And my love for you is so strong
But sometimes it feels so cold
And, baby, it gets so old
Wonderin why I
Stubble and cry, yeah
My life’s occupied by music and liquor.
Yo,
I can’t stop drinkin’, I can’t stop smokin’
I can’t stop writin’
I should be the can’t stop spokesman
Addictive personality
Ironically, I write my realest shit when I escape from reality
I drink to forget then I write to remember
It’s been like that since my high school ten-year
I can’t imagine if I never had this rappin’ hobby
I’d rarely be happy probly
But I knew a lot of people when I lived back in Maryland
That had it way worse, gettin’ addicted to heroin
So I shouldn’t be too pissed
I’m just getting sick writin’ drunken self-help do-to lists
That remain unchecked ‘cause I never follow through
And when you move, old habits follow you
And I can’t quite shake this safe(?) from off my back
It seems its safe strapped up tight
Ayy’all that’s my life.
I’ve been with you so long
And my love for you is so strong
But sometimes it feels so cold
And, baby, it gets so old
Wonderin why I
Stubble and cry, yeah
My life’s occupied by music and liquor.
I guess I’m tryin’ to escape from the fear and the sadness
Its madness
turn beer into gladness
It’s sort of like the miracle of Christ
Good timing, I could use some spiritual advice, man
I used to hate the taste of beer as a kid
And they say times change and it’s clear that they did
‘cause now it seems every night I’m intox-
icated by myself in a little ass box
I’ve been with you so long
And my love for you is so strong
But sometimes it feels so cold
And, baby, it gets so old
Wonderin why I
Stubble and cry, yeah
My life’s occupied by music and liquor.
