Cocaine in the brain will make you go insane
It will get you high on life then cut you with a knife
You will fall pleading for more
Drowning in your own depression

A little taste is all it takes to get you hooked for sure
You ask the dealer for more and more, but money is his crave
Whatever it takes, whatever you’ve got just to make the addiction stop
You feel your high is falling down quicker than ever before
All you can say is more and more but money you do not have

Laying down in the street, you have no life ahead
In the brain you have gone beyond insane
Brain dead is what you are

Cocaine in the brain made you go beyond insane
It got you high on life now its cut you with a knife
You fall pleading for more
Drowning in your own depression
