[Verse 1: Mr. J. Medeiros]
Now, I don't do drugs
Chronic ain't a cure-all
They say you could get hooked on it
Maybe it ain't for all, maybe it ain't your call
Maybe it ain't so great, maybe it's excellent
Homie, I ain't Socrates
Man I did it so late, I was almost 30, truthfully
I was scared, since D.A.R.E. I thought it'd hurt me, truthfully
I was prepared to be in my underwear, singin', surfin'
All I got was really hungry, self-aware, and thirsty
Now I laugh a bit
Reminding me of rappers back in '96 with flat brim hats and fake accents from NY and shit
Tryin' to be the passers of blunts
But I denied them it
Then they ask why I front like I'm a rapper and that I'm a bitch
But I'm a rapper who's blunt, I mean upfront
When it's time for it, they were just good at wrappin', blunts
And couldn't rhyme for shit
It's like they relied on it, their whole image a lie
And it's the reason when I paint you an image you can't hide from it
[Chorus: Mr. J. Medeiros]
I will find my own way
I will find my own way
I will find my own way
I will find my own
I will find my own way
I will find my own way
I will find my own way
[Verse 2: Mr. J. Medeiros]
Now I do not do drugs
Guess I don't give a fuck
But I know a few who use, who have to give it up
But I know a few who use, 'cause they sick as fuck
But I know a few who just do, not too trivial
My homie who had cancer, true, he had to give a nut
Plus he had that flu bug, everything he chewed was up
You know half the answer, came from just a few puffs
If you ain't got the answers, cool then why would you judge
Homegirl had a tumor, now she has to do without
A part of her brain
For her pain pharmaceuticals
She used to misuse them, true
'Til she threw them out so she burns a few nugs
Who are you accusing?
Now I ain't talking coke 'cause that's some dumb ass shit
Or when you smoke until you "uh", dumb as shit
But what about those white coats?
Type that only write notes to get you high of their stash, Nasdaq shit
Now I ain't that dense, spare me the lesson
Kids were teaching D.A.R.E on some antidepressants
I ain't tryin' to scare you, but dare you to question
I'm saying just be careful, if there's a suggestion
Either way, there's a lesson, it was just a suggestion
What you do or not do just because it was mentioned
That's the shit that men shun, that ain't the shit that I do
My life is just different man, I ain't gotta be like you
[Chorus: Mr. J. Medeiros]
Say yay
I will find my own way
I will find my own way
I will find my own way
I will find my own, way
I will find my own way
I will find my own way
I will find my own way
