00:00I feel like it's a lot of drugs out here that people don't talk about, even down to caffeine.
00:05Love is a real drug.
00:06People need that.
00:07People have withdrawals from love.
00:09That's how I feel.
00:10I won't be wanting to take too much at the end of the day.
00:12The more and more you take, the more and more you need.
00:14That's how I feel about it.
00:15It's a real drug.
00:22Inspiration for Drugs Calling pretty much came from the sample of Berkey's Calling, My Future.
00:28I just had my own little play on that.
00:29I tried it before, and it didn't sound like how I wanted it to, and then I just came back in.
00:34I'm not going to say if I was under the influence or not, but it just came back in and it just sounded better.
00:50You got vultures around you.
00:52Snakes don't even get too close, because them boys pick at them, they get to them real quick.
00:57You just had the right folks around you down.
00:59Too much shit could really fuck you up.
01:00What do you think about taking you?
01:02They say love's a drug.
01:03I don't want to take too much from you.
01:05Say I do too much, but I just do what I can do.
01:08Take off and beat the road, and I come back and beat the booth.
01:10You're doing back-to-back shows, you got flights, you got all types of shit to go handle,
01:15and then I still got to come back in and come to the studio and do the same shit,
01:19make some shit for the fans to be able to go back and hit the road again.
01:23It's like a little cycle.
01:37It's not about being special, it's just about being a liability.
01:41Needing somebody and wanting them around is two different things.
01:44I can want you around, I can have you around, but I don't need you around.
01:47Are you listening to your folks?
01:49Say I don't want back for you.
01:50You know I do the most, and they can't do the half for you.
01:53If I wouldn't have it, I probably wouldn't have you.
01:56I gave my heart, but that don't mean I had to.
01:58Got a big heart, I guess.
02:00Generous, I might say.
02:01I think it is easy to give people my heart.
02:03Too easy.
02:04But I feel like that's live and learn situations.
02:07And it goes how it goes.
02:09Eyes closed off the drink, but I ain't been sleeping at all.
02:12Should be told I'm exhausted, but I'm finally grown.
02:15I'm finally on.
02:16So I made my first hundred thousand dollars.
02:18It seemed like it was legit.
02:19It was about that time.
02:21That's when I felt like I was finally on.
02:22I feel like it's every time I'm sober, I'm missing my home.
02:25I feel like it's every time I'm sober, I'm missing my folks.
02:28I pull a fold and roll a three.
02:30TJ, you not alone.
02:31I keep my phone on D&D.
02:33These drives keep getting through.
02:34They do.
02:35Havana, Florida.
02:36That's my own.
02:36I miss my folks all the time.
02:38I go back when I can.
02:39It's tiring, but that's what we asked for.
02:41That's what we prayed for.
02:44I love my granny.
02:45That's my heart.
02:46I wasn't asking granny to pray for me.
02:47It was telling y'all that granny prayed for me.
