So anyhow wasn't getting crazy into drugs
Or anything like that
But I had one night where I
Ended up in a taxi cab
And a woman said something to me
Kinda rejected me in, like, a mean way
And I hadn’t done anything wild
I just expressed some interested
And she expressed interest and
Then I returned the
Expression and then she was mean to me
And she didn't reject me, rejection's fine
But she was mean to me, all a sudden
The taxi driver dropped her off
We were in a taxi next thing you know
I end up with the taxi driver
Four hours later me and him
Are doing cocaine together
And I’m driving the taxi he's in the back
He's in the back with an escort
He bought me an escort I
Don't want no escort, you know
Luigi, that was the guy's name
And we're in north Harlem and I'm
Driving a taxi and the
Meter is still running I'm still
Paying for that taxi

I wasn’t getting crazy but I had one night
I had one night, I had one night
I wasn’t getting crazy but I had one night
I had one night, I had one night

And that morning I was in New York
Because I had to be on
A big radio show called "The Opie
With Jim Norton Radio Show"
And they have, like
A million listeners and it
Was a huge opportunity
If you'd have asked me the
Night before, "Hey, man
Are you gonna stay up all night partying
(go, girl) before you go into the radio?"
I’d have said, "No way I would never do that"
And then here I was in this moment and it's
5: 00 am i gotta go to the radio, you know
I mean, i got to my hotel after driving
Taxi and then paying for it
Dude, just blown outta my mind
Dude I couldn't feel my face with either hand
At first I thought something was
Wrong with my hands
But then I realized something
Wrong with my face
I get to the radio station
Dude, I took three showers in 10
Minutes before I went there
So you know you on some really
Svelte dust if you're taking
Three showers in 10 minutes and
Drying off between each one
And that’s cocaine, Papa

I wasn't getting crazy but I had one night
I had one night, I had one night
I wasn't getting crazy but I had one night
I had one night, I had one night

And I get to the radio station
And I can't even talk
And the other guest for the
Day was Darryl Strawberry
Hall of Fame baseball player and he's
You look him up and he's
One of the greatest baseball
Players ever but his career was
Really a-altered by cocaine
And here he was I was on
The radio with him I had
Collected his cards when I was young
And I couldn't even talk
(I couldn't even talk)
The main gift that God had given me was
My voice and I couldn't even use it
Because I'd been up all night

Just using drugs to feel good somehow
Using drugs to feel good somehow
Using drugs to feel good somehow
Or using drugs to feel anything
Using drugs to feel good somehow
U-using drugs to feel good somehow
Using drugs to feel good somehow
Or using drugs to feel anything

I wasn't getting crazy but I had one night
I had one night, I had one night
I wasn't getting crazy but I had one night
I had one night, I had one night

And I get to the radio station 'cause I'd
Always thought in my head
"Oh, Darryl Strawberry, you
Think, you thought about him
And you thought, oh
He's on drugs he's this and that
He ruined his life"
But then here he was in front of me
He was 13 years sober, he was eloquent
Successful and I mean he was a dang
King sitting in front of me
And in that one moment that's where some
Things lined up in my life
That's where some things lined up in
My mind and said, "oh, hey look"
Here you are with this gift
You think you have that you can communicate
And you can't even talk
Because you fucked up, bruh
'Cause you been out driving taxi
And here you are with somebody
Who you had judged
As being fucked up and here he is, a king
And it just lined things up
In a perfect moment
Where I just had this moment of, like, "Oh
I need to" something needs to change for me
