Crack Cocaine

Crack Cocaine
Crack Cocaine is a habit man's enemy
a horrible addiction that affects you and me
Crack Cocaine is deadly to lives and lives to be
Crack Cocaine is furnished by the ones you hear of but do not see
Crack Cocaine is detrimental to our future
it's a problem no one man can solve
it's going to take more than a bill on capitol hill
to change the transaction of a crack cocaine deal
to change the feeling of an addicted users thrill
to change the mind of the suppliers who cares about nothing but the dollar bill

Crack Cocaine is not of the ordinary
if you study it closely it's sort of scary
just one time it blows your mind
depression sets in paranoia begins
you do whatever it takes to get what the supplier got
and to you it doesn't matter what you do
just as long as you get another piece of that Crack Cocaine rock
you lie you cheat you steal you kill
just as long as you can make another crack cocaine deal
your body becomes weak fragile and frail
but for some reason when you look in the mirror you can't tell
after you beg and nearly die for the crack cocaine rock
your hope is all gone and your world seems to stop

Don't give up
for there is something more powerful than the crack cocaine rock
I'm serving notification there is a cure
it's not medication it's not a being like you or me
nor is it an organization that teaches rehabilitee
the cure that I'm speaking of is spiritual related
and comes from above
if you have the crack cocaine habit that I'm speaking of
no man can give you
a formula potion or cure
so those who try crack cocaine are up against death for sure
Unless of course in God you trust
and ask him to destroy your crack cocaine lust
only then will you be able to function again
with out depending on the rock created by men
but the ROCK that dwells within
