Girl: yea...(laughter)...whoooo...shit

Hmmm, whoaaa, hmm ...

Guess what?

I ain't coming in yet, i'll come in in a minute

Aiyo, this is my love song. it goes like this....

Back when mark wallburg was marky mark

This is how we used to make the party start

We used to...mix in with bacardi dark

And when it... kicks in you can hardely talk

And by the... sixth gin you gon probly crawl

And you'll be... sick then and you'll probly barf

And my pre-...diction is that you gon probably fall

Either somewhere in the lobby or the hallway wall

And every-... things spinnin your beginning to think women areswimmin in

Pink linen again in the sink

Then in a couple of minutes that bottle of guinness is finished

You are now allowed to officially slap bitches

You have the right to remain violent and start wildin

Start a fight with the same guy that was smart eye'n ya

Get in the car and start it and start drivin

Over the island and cause a 42 car pile up

Earth calling, pilot to co-pilot, looking for life on this planetsir, no

Sign of it

All i could see is a bunch of smoke flyin and i'm so high that imight die if

I go by it.

Let me out of this place i'm outta place, i'm in in outter space,i've just

Vanished without a trace.

I'm going to a pretty place now where the flowers grow, i'll beback in an

Hour or so.

Cuz every time i go to try to leave (whoa-o-o)

Someone keeps pullin on my sleeve (whoa-o-o)

I dont wanna but i gotta stay (whoa-o-o)

These drugs really gotta hold on me (whoa-o-o)

Cuz everytime i try ta tell 'em no (no-o-o)

They won't let me ever let 'em go (go-o-o)

I'm a sucker all i gotta say (whoa-o-o)

Is drug's really gotta hold on me

In third grade all i used to do, was sniff glue through a tubeand play rubix

Cube

Seventeen years later i'm as rude as jude (reference to rude judewho makes frequent apperances on jenny jones)

Schemein on the first chick with the hugest boobs

I got no game, and every face looks the same

They got no name, so i don't need game to play

I just say whatever i want, to whoever i want, whenever i want,wherever i

Want, however i want

However i do show some respect to few

This ecstacy has got me standin next to you

Gettin sentimental as fuck, spillin guts to you

We just met, but i think i'm in love with you

But your on it too, so you tell me you love me too,

Wake up in the morning like "what the fuck we do?"

I gotta go bitch, you know i got stuff to do, cuz if i get caughtcheatin

Then i'm stuck with you

But in the long run these drugs are gonna catch up sooner orlater

But fuck it i'm on one, so let's enjoy, let the ex destroy yourspinal chord,

So it's not a straight line no more

So we walk around lookin like some wind-up dolls, shit stickinout of our

Backs like a dinosaur,

Shit, six hit's won't even get me high no more, so bye for now,i'm gonna try

To find some more

Chorus

That's the sound of a bottle when it's hollow when you swallow itall

Wallow and drown in your sorrow

And tomorrow your probably gonna wanna do it again

What's a little spinal fluid between you and a friend, screw it

And whats a little bit of alcohol poisoning? and whats a littlefight,

Tomorrow you'll be boys again

It's your life, live it however you wanna

Marajuana is everywhere, where was you brought up?

It don't matter as long as you get where you're goin

Cuz none of this shit's gonna mean shit where we're goin

They tell you to stop but you just sit there ignorin, even thoughyou wake up

Feelin like shit every mornin.

But your young, you got a lot of drugs to do, girls to screw,parties to

Crash, sucks to be you

If i could take it all back now i wouldn't, i woulda did moreshit that

People said that i shouldnt

But i'm all grown up now, and upgraded and graduated to betterdrugs and

Updated

But i still gotta a lot of growin up to do, i still gotta wholelot of

Throwin up to spew

But when it's all said and done i'll be forty before i know itwit a 40 on

The porch tellin stories

With a bottle of jack, two grandkids on my lap, babysitting forhailey, while

Hailey's out gettin shmashed.

Chorus x 2

Drugs really gotta hold on me

Really got a hold on me

Drugs really gotta hold on me

They really got a hold on me
