(Daytrip took it to ten) (hey)
Coo-coo
Is being sober hopeless?
All I ever think about is smoking
Now I know why daddy had to keep the bottle open, uh
I can't blame him
No, I can't blame him
Am I crazy?
Seems like everybody is lately (coo-coo)
Now I understand how mama raised me (I do)
I can't blame her
No, I can't blame her
Not at all (yeah, yeah)
Ask me how I'm doing today, bet I'll say I'm okay
But I'm rotting away inside (inside)
Don't worry 'bout it though
Both of us are, you know?
Funny, that's how it goes in life
I'm not tryna be dark
But I just got to the part
Where you stare at the stars
And compare what you are
To everything all around
Wonder what it'd be like
If it all came crashing down
You shouldn't talk back to your mother
Or you might get smacked by your mother
Cut a little slack for your father
'Cause he's never coming back
Is being sober hopeless?
All I ever think about is smoking (yeah)
Now I know why daddy had to keep the bottle open, uh
I can't blame him
No, I can't blame him
Am I crazy?
Seems like everybody is lately (coo-coo)
Now I understand how mama raised me (I do)
I can't blame her
No, I can't blame her (no, no)
I try to say I'm not addicted, but
I keep thinking 'bout the blunt
Cut it for a week, but I don't think I'd last a month
When I was seventeen, I didn't think about stuff
Then life got tough
It's getting harder every single day (true)
The minute that I wake (true)
The one thing that I crave, it's insane, I need it to stay up
Love what Mary Jane does in every situation
Oh, yeah
You make it feel painless
My doctor says I should use in moderation, but
I just roll myself a J and push it all away
To the back side of my brain, hey
You shouldn't talk back to your mother
Or you might get smacked by your mother
Cut a little slack for your father
'Cause he's never coming back
Is being sober hopeless?
All I ever think about is smoking (yeah)
Now I know why daddy had to keep the bottle open
I can't blame him
No, I can't blame him
Am I crazy?
Seems like everybody is lately (coo-coo)
Now I understand how mama raised me (I do)
I can't blame her
No, I can't blame her
I do
I, I said I really do, yeah, I really do
I, I do
Coo-coo
Coo-coo
Coo-coo
Crazy, crazy, crazy
I can't blame him
No, I can't blame him
