Eighty-six, too adjacent to the places where his kids would hang Fixin' in the kitchen, but no pork and beans or chicken franks Spoon of doom, trouble when it would bubble Subconscious attacks that would later leave 'em befuddled A family full of thinkers, but drinkers between the blinking But blinking came as a luxury, bubbly had 'em sinking As their lids started fading, memories would evade 'em Then wonder why black and whites had to handcuff and degrade 'em Flip the pages... past stints in the cages Mad flippant in haste when that bag of liquor enraged Skip the patience... or when feds performing searches Nickels and quarters surged 'cause he couldn't ignore the urges But who's perfect? Word is not even a nerd Whose lane was with the D.A.R.E. campaign, could abstain But a ten-year-old lame with brains just ain't the same At 20, you French kiss Mary Jane and go insane How insane... well... try mirages of construction fences Or arcades with flashing lights are mucking up your senses You hearing Ben Franklin say, "You got me and you're happy But coming at you is a Blood, stop your staring at me Moving train, brain trying to make a prison break T-top skull, letting the air in, thinking, "This is great Ate seven half smokes, laugh, joke Smashed then you crash until two half past, awoke Months later, your vice morphs into liquid courage It's the 20th drink and your folks are getting nervous They try to feed you some pizza to soak the spirits up You and that slice ain't agreeing, you get to fisticuffs You take a hit to gut, you can't even stand So your mans gotta pick you up, made you sicker, spitting up Your girl caught it on her kicks, still spiffed you up Sicked your duck, now you sittin' stuck like, "This is love Let's pick it up, circa June 6th, spliff it up Game One, NBA Finals: "Wow, the Sixers won Delayed reaction, stated the day after You watched the whole game, but was blazed in a daze, captured It's all vague, piecing the recollection Ebony shades your brain, can't see it in retrospective Light bulb flickers, you seeing that late check And instantly remember, "Dang, I forgot to pay the electric Thirty-six hours is all it takes Spend too much time in the dark, no telling if you're awake Whether you're half baked or toasted Now you're blinded and debating your approaches Whether it's Bone Crusher Saturday on empty stomachs, the only one that knows The way back to the room while all your visitors are simply flummoxed You give directions, simply rubbish, just another picker upper Spitting up enough vomit for like fifty drunkards Your mailbox flooded with late notices Fine print simply says, "You ain't focused, kid But you forget 'em, shove 'em off in a corner Next to the Worker's Testament tucked away in that drawer You hear Jesus, but listened to Johnny Walker Only one interaction, too rowdy a talker Spoke the loudest silence while he covered your eyes Then you rise and reply, "She said we did it... where was I then Bachelor party for younger brother You're four drinks in, but they pouring you up another While your brain bubble utters, "I get it... when in Rome I told 'em that I would drive, so how I'ma get him home Now the liquor gets to thinking for you: "Pick up them keys, Joe You've done it plenty already? It's a breeze, Joe But it's different when family fastens the buckle Their life is now in your hands, if you crash, imagine the trouble Bruh, you... better hope that that accident snubs you out first Cause if it doesn't, your mother will cuss you out worse But in an instant, you're sitting in your Maxima Scratching up your head, but been a while since you had eczema "Oh crap, which way did I take him home 295 or the Douglass?" You struggle to make it known But tucked away in that zone, you see that paper and phone Get your lights back, even if plans of payments are gone You're praising God harder than Baptists and Resurrection Praying that He forgives you for all your dreaded rejections Could've been dead, could've been messed up, bad batch of the sticky Involuntarily laughing, you're scratching, but took a bath, dig me Making all these installments via confession Your blurred vision's restored, see your reflection You come to... then you're still kinda perplexed "Why's this operator so busy tryna to whine bout her ex This ain't the company you meant to dial, dumb-dumb You pressed seven-o-three thinking it's nine-one-one Son... I'm not playing when I tell you I totally blacked out Like... I drove all the way home that night And I couldn't remember a thing I just thank God that everything ain't go black for good
