[Intro]
[Verse 1: Impromptu]
They say we drink at a young age
You got to be at least 18 years old to be trusted in this game
Man, I been drinkin' since I turned 14
sh** I watched my nan die, overdose on morphine
Now I'm all grown up, I'm still in love with the drink
But lately I see it suppressing the thoughts that I think
And I realise what I can't have I don't really want
Then I turn around, there's another liquor shop
What's up?
It's got to be somebodies fault
People buyin' flagons of port with their last cent from the dole
Plus I got mates done D.U.I. multiple times
No lessons learnt or taught, they just coppin' a fine
What's goin' on in our minds
When I'm not drunk it's the only thing I can think about, come on tell me why
I came to this conclusion drinking whiskey and rye
Maybe there's too many liquor shops and that's the real crime
[Chorus]
Getcha mind right (Getcha getcha mind right)
Getcha mind right (You gotta getcha mind right)
Getcha mind right (I'm tryin' to get my mind right)
Getcha mind right (Getcha getcha mind right)
Getcha mind right (Getcha getcha mind right)
[Verse 2: Animos]
As I grab another brew from the fridge
I wonder why I can't afford fresh fruit for my kids
It's ok I can drive I only had a few sips
Everything that pa** through my lips is bullsh**
I'm an alcoholic but I don't go to meetings
I went to a few, enough to get the keyring
I think my brain is sick on some major sh**
Just lay the blame on the drink then take a sip
Have a drink for your birthday
Drink ‘cause it's Thursday
It only comes once a week, let's celebrate
They say It's a pa**age of right, a coming of age
It's part of our culture, always been that way
And I'm a slave, but I hate the way it make me behave
Plus my doctor say I'm headin' for an early grave
They sponsoring our sportsmen, celebrity endorsements
How can I compete with liquor stores on every corner
[Chorus]
