[Verse 1]
Em
He rolled up asked him what he was sippin' on
G
Said lean, you wanna hit it dawg?
D
That's the same stuff Weezy sippin' huh?
Em
And tons of other rappers that be spittin' hard
Em
Yep yep he had 5 up on
G
When he passed him that Styrofoam
D
The Easter pink, heard it in a rhyme before
Finally got to see what all the hype was on
Em
And then he took a sip sittin' in the Lincoln
G
Thinking he was pimpin' as he listened to the system
D Em
Little did he know that it was just as addictive as bass
Not the kind of hit from the kick drum
C
Hot box let the bass bump
Take it to face, gulp
G
Months later the use went up
And every blunt was accompanied by the pink stuff
C
But Goddamn he loved that feeling
Purple rain coated in the throat
B
Just so healin'
Medicine alleviate the sickness
Liquid to fix and it comes with a cost
Em
Wake up, cold sweat, scratchin', itchin'
G
Trying to escape the skin that barley fit him
D Em
Gone, get another bottle just get a couple swallows headed towards the bottom
