Dreads and Drugs Video (MV)

Cornrows and mohawks and fade cuts
Childhood freedom and stories that made us
Before the world learnt to hate us
Nightmares of near deaths and grave yards
And now the world owes me true joy
Something I was certain of and granted as a school boy
Now everybody on their own searching for happiness
Whatever makes you sleep at night or makes you care less
I know myself but why I'm tripping, off what? No one knows
They think I'm doing drugs, whatever floats your boat
People's assumptions I've been guilty by association
Pitty the man that's ignorant of all the wrongs he making
Sober since birth yal got me drugged up
Dark coloured lips and the dreads got me f*cked up
Lack of expression now my peers barely know me
Would you believe me if I said I've never toked trees
If you know me you know I always been ducking evil
The word of God was good, the problem was the people
That's why I never give advice
Truth is an illusion an illusion man it's all lies
My nigga Dizzie fallen victim to these habits
I pray he quits f*cking with this pharmacy beverage
For real his pain I'm feeling right now
But still, pain got him leaning right now
I've set the record straight with you other niggas
You can't ask me for no lighter
I don't got a f*cking bagase you ignorant motherf*ckers (yeah)
Dreads and drugs, dreads and drugs
I hope you're hearing me right
Stop with the stereotype
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Dreads and drugs, dreads and drugs
I hope you're hearing me right
Stop with the stereotype
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Dreads dreads drugs drugs

Dreads dreads drugs drugs
They tell me drugs are bad but I won't listen
I just won't listen, I keep slow sipping
The shit got niggas dying it make no difference
I give them all my time I put my soul in them
I'm just the product of the internet I fell into the trap
A girl left with the magic I was trying to get it back
I might have got it back but then I needed more
The Jedi been smoking shooting up like he's at war
With the world, with himself
And for the record that advice didn't help
Smoking kwaes kill my health, question life and myself
Man's in a place so dark open eyes couldn't help
See I've been searching for the light in empty bottles of the sprite
Stilpane hold the pain and promise shit gonna be alright
But then the scratching and the fiending and the cramp attacks at night
It so happened started feeling like an addict with a pipe
Dizzie the addict, been fiending been scratching
Don't scream when it happens, codeine in my chalice
My beats make a racket, been meaning to practice
Been steaming been dreaming about leaning in heaven
The old me is dead, the new me is doomed
The old me is dead, new me join him soon
You won't know the world, if you've been cocooned
You can't limber life, if you just assume
But I, won't listen I just won't listen
The shit that I dun seen is just bone chilling
The codeine got me f*cked and now my soul's drifting
The homies know I'm f*cked it make no difference cause I won't listen
Dreads and drugs, dreads and drugs
I hope you're hearing me right
Stop with the stereotype
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Dreads and drugs, dreads and drugs
I hope you're hearing me right
Stop with the stereotype
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
