Wax and EOM – Music and Liquor

Spotify

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 thinking
but when I get ’em I be spendin’ them 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 everyday around four
and every single day the road worker next door’d
come home with an eighteen pack of Miller High-Life
I said my life is headed down a path that’s way too sim-
ilar, 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,
thats my life

I’ve been with you so long, and my love for you’s so strong
but sometimes it feels so cold, and baby it gets so old
wondering why… I…
stumble and cry, yeah
my life’s occupied by music and liquor

I can’t stop drinking, I can’t stop smoking, I can’t stop writing,
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 tenure

I can’t imagine if I never had this rappin’ hobby
I’d rarely be happy probably
but I knew a lotta 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 gettin’ sick of writing drunken self help To-Do lists
that remain unchecked cause I never follow through
and when you move, old habits follow you
and I can’t quite shake this ape from off my back
it seems as if it’s safe strapped up tight
aye yo that’s my life.

I’ve been with you so long, and my love for you’s so strong
but sometimes it feels so cold, and baby it gets so old
wondering why… I…
stumble and cry, yeah
my life’s occupied by music and liquor

I guess I’m trying to escape from the fear and the sadness,
it’s madness, turned beer into gladness
it’s sorta like a miracle of Christ
good timing, I could use some spiritual advice

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’s so strong
but sometimes it feels so cold, and baby it gets so old
wondering why… I…
stumble and cry, yeah
my life’s occupied by music and liquor
