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 up front

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

I will find my own way

I will find my own way

I will find my own way

I will find my own

(Wo-ah)

I will find my own way

I will find my own way

I will find my own way

Now I don't 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

Till she threw them out so she burns a few nugs

Who are you accusing?

Now I ain't talking coke 'cause thats some dumb ass shit

Or when you smoke util you uhhhhhh, dumb as shit

But what about those white coats

Type that only write notes

To get you high off 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

Say yay-hey

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
