Some say it's the feelin' of love for yourself I can't call it, I just threw up in the toilet And all my life I said I wasn't gonna be no alcoholic I'm fallin', son, tryin' to stay sober But the alcohol be callin', son like a ghost So let's make a toast to my liver and my kidneys Pour out a little Henny, here's to gout in your twenties Not many niggaz make it to thirty, we ride dirty Breath stinkin', already drinkin', bright an' early Out of earl an' Smirnoff, gin and eight ball Passed out on the bathroom floor with my clothes off Remember them knickies? Tall can't fit in they Dickies?
