[Verse 1: Zi] Reality's a hard thing to cope with And it gets critical when you get tired of hoping Your life s**s but you swore to never give up You're picturing your future hoping that there's better to come But sometimes reality just catches you up And this is when you catch yourself pouring d**h in a cup You go from drowning your worries to drowning in your worries Start to wake up late although you go to bed early You could've been a doctor a teacher an attorney Now you're not even sure if you'll ever make it to thirty Used to have a dollar and a dream You just k**ed that dream with a dollar Couldn't find no open door so you've opened a bottle And though it ain't funny it's ironic How trying to get away got you hitting rock bottom Can't say that was a smart move Hoping for a bright future drunk in a dark room [Verse 2: Zi] Some people drink to forget you drink to have something to remember You're 'bout to hit the club it's the 31st of December Kiss your daughter good night thank God you found a baby sitter Meet up with a few friends and hit the liquor store So once you get there you're just ready to get down on the floor Music banging plus you know the DJ 'cause you've been there before And all night you'll be drinking some more And some more and some more 'Cause it ain't fun if you don't get drunk You're acting so dumb but it's so much fun Celebrating life and the fact that you're still young Imagine all the crazy things that you wouldn't have done But now it's time to leave the party 'cause it's like quarter to six You're drunk but confidant that you can make it to the crib Your eyelids are getting heavy and you try to resist Close your eyes for a second now you're driving off the bridge [Verse 3: Zi] You're at this party fine women everywhere it's like a movie You're feeling fresh mood is set the DJ's playing Juicy You spot one and walk up to her staring at the booty To go home with that cutie's like a duty Exchange a few words and buy the chick a drink and sh** 2 hours later she's the chick you're leaving with Half hour later she's the chick you're sleeping with And last time you heard from her told you she was pregnant and she's keeping it 'Cause when you stopped to get that bottle you forgot the condoms You thought it wouldn't've been a problem 'til you find out you're a father And now you're thinking if she wants to keep it well be it but you Never wanted that kid So you ignore the situation acting like your daughter doesn't exist But seven years later someone shows up at the door to your crib Telling you her mother just died after driving off a bridge See you were picturing your future hoping that there's better to come But sometimes reality just catches you up And this is when you catch yourself pouring d**h in a cup Yeah pouring d**h in a cup Yeah pouring d**h in a cup
