DRUGS DON'T WORK
Love's Pursuit Amid Adversity: When the Drugs Fade
Lyrics
What to do
Contemplating what action to take
Thinking bout making my move
Considering making a significant decision
When it come time to choose
When the time comes to choose
You the one I don't wanna lose
You are the one the speaker doesn't want to lose
When it come time to prove
When the time comes to prove oneself
I got no excuse
No valid excuse available
Who be on my mind like you
Thinking about someone constantly
When the drugs don't work come through
When substances fail to have an impact, seek comfort
Come through, come through
Repetition for emphasis on the invitation to come through
Come through, come through, come through
-Come through, come through, come through
-Come through, come through, come through
-Okay, I be there for you when you need me
Expressing availability and support
Two two two, made a wish like genie
Making wishes akin to a genie
Two shots then we flex our demons
Taking shots and confronting inner struggles
Been two weeks, man I must be fiendin'
Experiencing withdrawal symptoms after two weeks
God damn it I must be dreaming
Suggesting a dreamlike state
Fuck around might get cuffed this season
Possibility of facing consequences in a relationship
Something felt different, got you hooked like fishing
Feeling a unique connection, using fishing metaphor
Know you hate when I get distant, oh
Acknowledging the partner's dislike of emotional distance
Not tryna be dead weight
Expressing a desire to improve oneself
Lemme get my head straight
-When I touch down in LA
Anticipating a meeting in LA
Better see you at the gate
Expecting to see the partner upon arrival
Get it on and poppin', yeah
Confidence in the relationship and mutual attraction
Don't care who watching, yeah
-Know we both got options, yeah
-You the best one walking, yeah
-What to do
Repetition emphasizing the importance of the partner
Thinking bout making my move
-When it come time to choose
-You the one I don't wanna lose
-When it come time to prove
-I got no excuse
-Who be on my mind like you
-When the drugs don't work come through
-Come through, come through
-Come through, come through, come through
-Come through, come through, come through
-Come through, come through, come through
-Cause I just wanna match your vibe
Desiring to align with the partner's emotional state
You hide, inside of you
Recognizing the partner's inner struggles
Don't know how much I tried
Expressing effort in trying to overcome challenges
To fight, my mind
Battling with inner thoughts and emotions
You know you got me all the time
Constantly on the speaker's mind
You bang, my line
Contacted frequently by the partner
And you know I want you to be mine
Expressing a desire for a committed relationship
This time, no lying
Commitment without deception this time
And if these drugs don't work
If drugs fail, seeking emotional support and facing consequences
I might really need a hand
-If these drugs don't work
-I might feel it in my chest
-If these drugs don't work
-I might need to take a breath
-If these drugs don't work
-Then I ain't got nothing left
-When the drugs don't work come through
Reiteration of seeking support when substances fail
Come through, come through
-Come through, come through, come through
-Come through, come through, come through
-Come through, come through, come through
-And these drugs ain't working no more
Drugs no longer providing solace, leading to restlessness
Imma need my fix when I get home
-Cause these drugs ain't working no more
-Got me feeling reckless and restless when I'm alone
