Lyrics

Yeah, this alcoholism, makes people go to prison

Alcoholism leads people to incarceration.

Leaves some people dying and some people living

Alcoholism results in both death and survival.

Leaves some people slipping, makes some people drunk

Alcoholism causes some to lose control and others to become intoxicated.

Then they start tripping ,yeah

Intoxication leads to erratic behavior.


Yeah, i'm just a simple man, yeah, I'm wrestling through my thoughts

The singer describes themselves as a simple person dealing with inner struggles.

I got nothing but a plan, but I still had to fought

Despite having a plan, the singer had to fight for their goals.

Mama always raised me right, told me give what you got, yeah
