I KNOW IT SO WELL
OJO 2004

You will finally lose your mind
if you don't stop in time
and that is before
you even think about trying
any sort of drug you can find
because sooner than you want
you will feel and wish
that you could stop dying

I strongly recommend
think it all over
before you cross the edge
to drugs and crime
it is only a pretending game

You will lose your nearest friends
your family will throw you out from home
at school they will talk bad about you
and the news will reach the homes
in your community
and you will never get a job
anyplace near or far
and if you get so lucky to find real love
they will see to it
that it doesn't last so long
by telling so many great and amusing lies
that everybody around swallow the bate
and you end up filled with hate
when your love has sent you away
forever to stay

You will lose all of your past dreams
those fine ones will turn into cruel ones
and there will come
strange people into your life
who will only bring you deeper down
in the swamp of destruction
reduction and consumption
of your one and only soul
and it is not for sure
that you will become specially old
so listen now to what you have been told

You will finally also lose your dignity
and your respect for everything that is alive
and when you do that
it will be a very hard way
back to who you were
before you lost your will
to try to live right
and started to create fright
with taking the easy way out
and now you have to pay the price
a very high price
and there is no escape
because the day society wants to nail you
they do it without hesitation
I know it so well
