[Intro: Eminem]
I don't know at what point exactly it started to be a problem
I just remember liking it more and more
People tried to tell me that I had a problem
I would say
Get that fucking person out of here
I can't believe they said that shit to me
They knew nothing about my fucking life
Are they out of their fucking mind?
I'm not out there shooting heroine
I'm not out there fucking, you know?
Putting coke up my nose, I'm not smoking crack
Your struggling with the argument of
Do you have a problem or do you not have a problem?
Can you control it or can you not?
And I literally thought I could control it
Your taking things that people are giving you, like
You don't even know what the fuck they are
They look like a pill, and they look-
They're shaped like something that you take
So you take it, you know?
[Verse 1: TR!SS]
Yeah
Gave my life to the drugs, but now its time I get it back
Gave my bank to the plug, but now its time to keep my cash
Time to put my head down, start moving, never looking back
Here’s a toast to new beginnings I be starting from scratch
Getting high every day, I sobered up and did the math
Ain’t to many days away, when we all finna pass
Spent too much time doing nothing, you could be out getting money
I was in the way back fronting, now its time I started running
Watching all my idols turn to addicts, then they all be passing
Why the fuck I’m taking all these drugs? I couldn’t even imagine
A life sober, but that’s normal, my normal was fucked up
Getting strung on the daily, I wasn’t getting none done
And the past already happened that shit can’t be undone
But the future’s fair game, speaking of Future, he’s one
Idol that I look up to, thought he proved the drugs were straight
'Till I found out he sober, then my perspective really changed
God damn
[Interlude: Eminem]
Within a month I had relapsed
And shot right back up to the same amount of pills that I was taking
I remember just walking around my house and
Thinking every single day, like, I'm going to fucking die
[Chorus: TR!SS]
I think its time to change, think its time to make a change
Time to move on, time to move to better days (better days)
Time to take over, and live my life a better way
I think its time, think its time that I change
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
Ooh
[Bridge: TR!SS]
Getting high, drinking, getting crossed every day, I enjoyed it
I thought I was bettering myself, my life was better because of it
But then i took a step back and realized it wasn't
I was getting nothing done
I used to be so far ahead of my peers, smarter, faster, nah
I was wasting time, enjoying doing nothing
Instead of making a song, getting my work done, being productive
I’d get high, hang out with friends, watch tv
I wasted precious time, that we just don’t get enough of
I only get one life, and I can’t let drugs live it for me
[Verse 2: TR!SS]
Yeah
Being sober the hardest thing that I’ve done some days
Some shit just happened right now, I wanna numb the pain
I gotta face the storm, I’m pushing through the rain
It takes a lot of dedication, for the smallest change
And I do this for me, that’s why they don’t know my struggles
And sometimes doing that can make my problems all double
It can get so hard to try to stay humble, but I still muscle
So much weight on my shoulders, but I won’t let my knees buckle
Body hurting, brain hurt
But I look fine on the surface
Nothing’s certain, but I’m sure that
Life won’t lift all these curses
I just gotta cope with them on my own, without running
Facing life with no crutch, cause I just cannot out run it
My life’s a book, its time to make a new chapter
And I better make sure its not the same one its after
Pain and the hurt, I know that they are all factors
To my struggles, but sometimes i know its okay to stagger
[Outro: Eminem & TR!SS]
I had to regain motor skills
I had to regain talking skills
Its been a learning process, like
Its been- I'm growing
I just couldn't believe that anybody could ever be
Naturally happy, or naturally function
Or be just enjoying life in general
Without being on something
So I would say t-t-to anybody that it
It does get better
