Lyrics

Ain't no need for mic checking in this studio session,
This here's my confession so Lord are you listening.
Depression got me stressing heading right for the bottle
Not to mention my obsession with the dank & the powder
This is my darkest hour, death may come any minute
I'm tired of how I'm living so forgive me for my sinning
A no win situation, occupation be a thug
Pistol packing, pants are sagging , showing my enemies no love
We from them S.J. cuts, you know them deep dark dungeons
Incarcerated w/ my partners, enemies, uncles & cousins.
Thought I wasn't a factor, w/ this game in the struggle
Getting in & out of trouble, trying to make my money bubble.
The concrete jungle, Shark Tank to my folks
Where you'll get eating alive these streets ain't no joke
Drank Dank & Crank yo, has got the best of me
But I gotta break these chains, so Lord set me free....

Drank, dank & crank, got me doing things man I just can't think
Drank, dank & crank has got the best of me so Lord set me free...

Ain't no A.A. , no 12 steps, No counseling gonna help me
By the time I was 17 I was labeled as an alchi
& when I turned 18 I got my licensed to drive
& when I was 19 I got my first DUI
Drunken fights, blacked out nights in street life you die much quicker
Drunken lies, momma cries, cut me open I'll bleed liquor
A little sicker then the average, this malt liquor makes you a savage
This drank I gotta have it, being sober I can't manage
But the damage is done by the time the morning comes
My girls no longer in love to this drunk that I've become
I wish someway or somehow I could take back these words
But she don't love me no more I just got kicked to the curb.
Now I'm swerving sideways back to the liquor store
To get the Forty 0 it's the only route that I know
Don't pour none out 4 my homies cuz I need every sip.
I get depressed and then lonely but that I'll never admit
Don't get invited to house parties cuz fights always break out
I don't remember what their about because I drink & blackout
No doubt, best friends become enemies after a drunken fight
And don't expect no apologies we got that foolish pride
Its like from the cradle, to the 40 bottle, to the grave
Wasted days & wasted nights I'm drinking my life away.
From the cradle to the 40 bottle to the grave
My momma said to pray because she believes that Jesus saves!

Drank, dank & crank, got me doing things man I just can't think
Drank, dank & crank has got the best of me so Lord set me free...

A yo I met this girl from around the way, said that she could ease my pain
I said home girl now what's your name, she said DANK but call me Mary Jane
I said Mary Jane now it's on, word around town is your Bomb
Never thought love could be so wrong, took a lil toke & I was gone.
Didn't last too long before I was hooked, Homeboys claimed that I was wooped
Love is blind I was shook; I got burnt for my cash I got took.
Look, to be with her I gotta come with cash, never thought love would be like that
Robbing & stilling gotta make a dash, now she gone fast. Puff, Puff, Pass
When she's in my grasp my mind is twisted, open door for these spirits to visit
Nothing matters, priorities shifted, tell me what is it that has me addicted?
She gets me high as a kite w/out leaving the ground
But when I'm coming down she ain't never around
I'm searching, searching the town she's nowhere to be found
I get depressed feeling down man this dank got me Bound.

Drank, dank & crank, got me doing things man I just can't think
Drank, dank & crank has got the best of me so Lord set me free...

Ain't no need for introduction for that thing they call crank
It be the deadliest of them all between the drank & the dank
My folks ain't been the same every since that crank hit our block
And I seen their lives change when they took a hit of the rock
I thought I would start dealing, slang to those who were tweaking
But I did a lil testing now its me that is geaking
Got me peaking through the windows like someone's out to get me.
Don't trust my girl or my homies cuz their probably against me.
It gets me crooked & twisted; now this crank I can't stand it
But I gotta feed my habit, because my bodies gotta have it
I'm stranded up in this hole that I created for myself
I burnt everyone I know so ain't nobody wanna help
I'm crying out to you GOD because you are my last hope
All this drank dank & crank I can't do it no more
I know you died up on the cross & rose in 3 days
That's the price you had to pay to make my sins go away
Now I take u in my life & I'll be down to the end
But Lord just set me free, I'm gone... Amen
