Lyrics

I never really could get high enough

I have never been able to reach a sufficient level of intoxication.

I never could go completely numb

I have never been able to completely numb my emotions or feelings.

As far as drugs go, they don't make enough

In terms of drugs, there is not enough substance to help me understand my origin or purpose.

To help me figure out where I'm coming from

Drugs do not provide clarity in understanding where I come from.

To help me figure out where I'm coming from

How you gonna judge me for having a cocaine Tuesday
