I've been around, I've had my kicks
And I've picked up one or two party tricks
There's those that drink, those that smoke
And those that like a little line of coke
There's cocaine places, cocaine folks
Cocaine mirrors and cocaine jokes
It's a little bit wicked and widely done
And everybody tells you it's a bunch of fun
Well it ain't as sweet as people say
You're up all night but you're down all day
It rots your nostrils, burns your brain
And it kills your liver instead of your pain
You call up dealers, rack your brains
When they ain't at home or the line's engaged
In your heart of hearts you know it's true
Cocaine's a killer - and it's killing you
Well you're killing off years of your life right now
Cos we might all die soon anyhow
Well in five years time you're gonna look so dumb
When we haven't been blown to Kingdom Come
Remember life before cocaine -
Ain't it time you started living again
You spend your money hand over fist
In an ideal world would you live like this?
Now I'm not saying it's morally wrong
I did it myself for far too long
And I'm not saying I know better than you -
I'm saying I know and you know it too
I ain't no killjoy, ain't no shrink
And I ain't a preacher - whatever you think
I'm simply giving my point of view
And if you don't like it... *censored F--> you
The real thing...
It ain't nothing like the real thing...
The real thing...
I'm talking 'bout the real thing...
(Charlie C - you're such a creep
Got no money, get no sleep
Tense and edgy, ill at ease
Taking my friends away from me
Charlie bastard - you're to blame,
Acting crazy, feel insane
If I had my time again
I'd never mess with King Cocaine...)

People do tend to make light of the dangers of using.....
it is like standing on front of a truck moving 60 mph, and you choose to believe that you'll be just fine... , or is that by this point you really just don't care?
This drug can take that much from you, if you allow it ... a matter of truth and choices.... being truthful with yourself to admit there is a problem, Choosing to face addiction head on ending the cycle that addiction has on you .... If you have to lie about it, or hide it .... you are moving in the wrong direction .... "just my thoughts ... "
Strength and Peace to All ....

Did you ever hear
about Cocaine Lil?
She lived in Cocaine Town
up on Cocaine Hill.
She had a cocaine dog
and a cocaine cat,
they fought all night
with a cocaine rat.
She had cocaine hair
on her cocaine head,
she had a cocaine dress
that was poppy red:
She wore a snowbird hat
and sleigh-riding clothes,
on her coat she wore
a crimson, cocaine rose.
Big gold chariots
on the Milky Way,
snakes and elephants
silver and gray.
Oh the cocaine blues
they make me sad,
oh the cocaine blues
make me feel bad.
Lil went to a snow party
one cold night,
and the way she sniffed
was sure a fright.
There was Hophead Mag
with Dopey Slim,
Kankakee Liz
and Yen Shee Jim.
There was Morphine Sue
and the Poppy Face Kid,
climbed up snow ladders
and down they skid.
There was the Stepladder Kit,
a good six feet,
and the Sleigh-riding Sister
who were hard to beat.
Along in the morning
about half past three,
they were all lit up
like a christmas tree.
Lil got home
and started for bed,
took another sniff
and it knocked her dead.
They laid her out
in her cocaine clothes;
she wore a snowbird hat
with a crimson rose.
On her headstone,
you’ll find this refrain:
She died as she lived,
sniffing cocaine.
While your out chasing ghost ....
I sit here all alone .....
my heart thick with emotions...
as I sit here by the phone ....
In case that you should need me
you know where I’ll be found ....
I am the one that sits and waits for you ...
when there’s no one else around ....
I ask you spare my feelings
as you walk away again ....
though you haven’t seemed to notice....
I can be a worthy friend ....
I know that you are struggling ....
and there’s not much I can do....
all I can do his bow my head ....
and say a prayer for you ....
The ghost have your attention ...
As they pull you from my reach ...
it’s wretched pain and ugliness ...
to your soul they wish to teach ...
They pull you from your family ...
and will take all that you own ....
Someday you’ll look around you
and you’ll be there all alone...
You need not think they’ll care for you ...
when you’ve nothing left to trade ...
someday you’ll see it clearly...
the high price that you’ve paid ....
You’ll think about your family ...
and friends with tear filled eyes ...
as they watched you throw your life away ...
leaving no time for goodbyes ...
Your soul is lost and weary ...
chasing ghost throughout the night ...
Your eyes are blind and teary ....
as your chest feels cramped and tight....
Take a look around you ...
as there’s nowhere left to go ...
hang your head and say a prayer for freedom
from the ghost you’ve come to know....
My Name is Cocaine - call me Coke for short.
I entered this country without a passport.
Ever since then I've made lots of scum rich.
Some have been murdered and found in a ditch.
I'm more valued than diamonds, more treasured than gold.
Use me just once and you too will be sold.
I'll make a school boy forget his books.
I'll make a beauty queen forget her looks.
I'll take a renowned speaker and make him a bore.
I'll take your mother and make her a *censored prostitute.
I'll make a teacher forget how to teach.
I'll make a preacher not want to preach.
I'll take all your rent money and you'll be evicted.
I'll murder your babies, or they'll be addicted.
I'll make you rob, and steal, and kill.
When you're under my power, you will have no will.
Remember, my friend, my name is "Big C".
If you try me one time, you may never be free.
I have destroyed many actors, politicians and heroes.
I've decreased bank accounts from millions to zero.
I'll make shootings and stabbing a common affair.
Once I take charge, you won't have a prayer.
Now that you know me, what will you do?
You'll have to decide - it's all up to you.
Listen to me, and please listen well,
When you ride with Cocaine, you're headed for he|l.
