face: @xfloorpunchx and I did a couple tracks together last year that worked out pretty well, so I think we both knew we were going to try and do one this year. He sent me the groovy instrumental, and I added vocals. shout out to Mitch Hedberg.
14 when I started smoking cigarettes
drinking at the park, by the river under bridges next
never even considered the lasting effects of
nicotine, valium, vicodin, marijuana, ecstasy and alcohol
heroin and tramadol, cocaine, codeine,
crystal meth and adderall
never hard to find it you can get it at the local mall
it's readily available and now containing fentanyl
shit we're losing friends already
it continues on a gradual decline but it's steady
it appears to be benign but if it isn't I'm ready
if you're not familiar with new thangs go listen to fetti
I used to think that you could
hide your problems easily from everyone
we used to drink all night
and pack it up after we see the sun
I used to think you didn't
have to show your cards to anyone
I used to think that fucked up equalled fun
I used to blow my money on payday
I used to smoke and smell like an ashtray
I used to blaze and listen to doomsday
before you met me
I used to start my weekends on wednesday
I used to ask my girl for a threeway
I used to go too hard in the worst way
before you met me
I used to go too hard
I used to go like I had no regard
I'd pick a fight with the security guard
and get kicked out of the bar
but wasn't time to retire
so we'd bring the fuckin' party to the backyard
it's all fun and games
until you swerve up on the boulevard
bunch of sketchy charges on my credit card
shady fuckin' people in these shady situations
it's a shock I didn't end up in the graveyard
mark it on my scorecard
losing my religion
I was just kidding
wasn't there from the beginning
I was lighting fires
there were no fucks given
the fact that I'm still here
means that I must have been forgiven
now it's my mission
to prevent predisposition in my children
this is different
teach them to be strong and independent
self sufficient
ask me and you're bound to find out
it's a choice you've got day in and day out
I used to blow my money on payday
I used to smoke and smell like an ashtray
I used to blaze and listen to doomsday
before you met me
I used to start my weekends on wednesday
I used to ask my girl for a three-way
I used to go too hard in the worst way
before you met me

I don't know why this sounds like cleaning the room early in the morning after a big party, when most people are still recovering. Great lyrics and vocal delivery. And this instrumental is perfect for remembrance of a passed frantic time.
@pianoonthepatio Mar 2022
I dig this a lot! What a collab. Nice groove, smooth rap with a more melodic bit for chorus. Reminds me of the good ol school rap. I hope you guys are thinking of putting this into an album!
@andrea Mar 2022
This is incredible! Love it all - lyrics, music and vocals. This is put together so perfectly. Really great collab!
@sailingmagpie Mar 2022
Loved your collabs last year and definitely wasn't disappointed this time around! Great little QOTSA reference and you're flow is totally on point. Love the piano pushing the track along and the breakbeats give it a quality that I can't help nodding my head to. You've both absolutely nailed it again!
@emplate Feb 2022
Really digging that piano on the backing track. Laid-back atmosphere. And great flow on the vocals! I'm not a rap guy, but this had me nodding.
@nadine Feb 2022
Wow, this it what I call metric and flow. Bad boy trying to change his life huh? The beat is awesome too. Great collab.
@nahlej381 Feb 2022
I used to do drugs…still do but I used to too! I love Mitch!!! This song is so damn good…you’re writing is next level dude. The instrumental is sick!
@xfloorpunchx Feb 2022
Damn, this song is sick ! You are a magician dude, congrats !
