Before I Self Destruct (OK, You're Right) by JigsawKillah(m): 4:30pm On Sep 27, 2017
Nothing good comes out of weed
Nothing good you'd ever see

You don't talk about tramadol
It's profitable after all

Why do y'all sell it in stores?
Why do y'all sell it at all?

Producing more hard drugs than immunization pills
With more.sold in the North, so Jihad fanatics can get the drills?

I think it is a chess piece
That became King and forgot its place

Or maybe it's still a tool
And we are simply the fools

Wrong news and facts they feed us
Confusing Mohammed and Jesus

I don't even know who is who
But one thing is certain; hate Lu

They hammer fables as facts, into our head
We must stay confused, till we're dead

Like they told me about school, ha
They must have heard of Neymar

Our future leaders, the youth
Have turned scammers; truth

Because scamming is a handiwork
Our political leaders did theirs with words

Cultism is bad, one I'd never be
Senators do handshakes on TV

Then you applaud it and say it's necessary
For the politics game, is all dirt and scary

I don't know what to believe now
You talk with both sides of your mouth

It's never my thing to argue like
You disgust me but, okay you're right

I loved the APC regime
Until they chose rats to me

I write, it's my curse to bear
At night it's my voice I hear

Sometimes I'm screaming for help
Some nights I'm reaching for death

My mental state stems from weed usage
Never the turmoils I had faced

Environmental pollution is our right
But let's blame weed for our plight

But never the policies that brought these truths
And never the government; the root of these issues

Blame me for reading the wrong books
Never the teachers who taught us like crooks

Sold us books, else they'd toil in vain
Imagine all that work! Leaders don't pay

Their kids going abroad to study in the end
Then come back and continue the trend

While my people steal ballot boxes
So these leaders can rule again

Recycled government; different parties, same faces
Different budgets but the money's end, same places

99% of the wealth, in 1%'s pockets
But let's focus on weed, so we can stop it

Economy is so poor, every young brother
With a little wealth, must be an armed robber

I understand everything, like
The government is always right
