t's happening more and more each day These drugs making my friends crazy I'm laying it down... Don't bring it around... Cos I aint nothing but Drug Free Verse 1: I used to see my buddy Fayaz looking all depressed I guessed, that he was in some major tests After class, we used to go and play some ball, He was fast and tall, he surpassed us all, But after a while I'd see him playing less and less, He be looking more depressed and stressed at best So one day after class, I took him aside, I said tell me what's going on, man are you alright? He said I got some issues with my folks I cant resolve No need to stress you out Bro, or get you involved So I put it to him, have you started smoking weed And the answer that he gave me really made be grieve He said yeah once in a while when I need to mellow out But I'll be alright, I'm not the one to worry about Yo we got to get you help before you ruin yourself You got greatness ahead, you aint like everyone else He said I promise I'll be fine and he gave me his hand So I trusted him and hoped that he would soon understand Couple months went by and he be worse and worse Like he was thrown in a curse, I hoped that he would reverse then one day, he asked me for a couple a bucks He said he needs to pay a friend and right now he's stuck, I said I know you smoking crack now, confirmed that for a fact now I gotta get you help now, don't even try to back down Gave him the money, he promised Monday he would meet me Friday got the call that would defeat me completely Fayaz had died of a drug over dose It was the saddest day ever - aint nothing comes close Man I hate those drugs, hate �em with all of my soul chokes the young and the old, till their bodies is cold So I don't care if you're a player or a wanna-be thug Don't ever, ever come close to drugs Zain Bhikha Can't You See lyrics found on http://www.lyricsoncall.com/lyrics/zain-bhikha/cant-you-see-lyrics.html Chorus: It's happening more and more each day These drugs making my friends crazy I'm laying it down... Dont bring it around... Cos I aint nothing but Drug Free Verse 2: Months later, was still mourning his death Was angry and sad that he fell in this mess A teacher who noticed how miserable my soul was, Came Over He said I see your carrying a boulder I know that I'm older, but let me tell you something that I never ever told ya - Put my arms around his shoulder My daughter, she was the pride of my heart As a father, we were never far apart Was a popular girl, always on top of the world Never scared to try something new and give it a whirl But she had low self-esteem, If you know what I mean And it only takes a moment, Yo, to devastate a dream She started hanging with this girl from school Her Grades went down and she started breaking rules And it festered and festered - we didn't want to face it Til one day, she came home totally wasted Then friend told us she was close to being arrested We put our foot down and we forced her to get tested She tested positive for drugs, but there was something else The doctor asked to do more tests to check up on her health And then came the news, that would totally defeat me, Her use of all the needles, she had gotten HIV I was livid, that moment and that feeling I will always live with it, Man It's still vivid She died 5 years ago, nothing I could help My Lord has helped me with this pain that I felt With tears in me eyes, Yo I gave him a hug, May God give you strength to keep away from drugs ..keep away from drugs, ..keep away from drugs Chorus: It's happening more and more each day These drugs making my friends crazy I'm laying it down... Dont bring it around... Cos I aint nothing but Drug Free
