Poison by J. Loree Lyrics
Verse One
Whether I'm
Sober, drinking or overthinking - I'm
Missing on lessons that I hoped would sink in
I'm disappointed in myself, I really thought that
I was better than this
I be giving out advice from these veteran lips
And still can't take my own - what a shame
Lemme keep it 100 cuz it ain't no game
Been feeling myself with this local fame like, goddamn
But do I really have control?
Taking people down roads they don't have to go
Put a match to my thoughts, let the batch explode
So I can get a reset
Even the villain he needs rest
Reaching out with arms like a T-Rex
Put the world on my back hit 3 sets
Use my hardship to get stronger
Help resist these temptations longer
Honor is all you got like courtroom verdicts
This a third pitch from a wordsmith
Can't hear the beat cuz the devil's too loud, let the noise in
She told me that I'm (poison)
Chorus
Poison makes me a fighter
Do you believe in taking me higher?
Yeah, you got my heart on fire
[?] Poison, poison, takes me higher
Verse Two
It's more than just good
If I could stop, I would - I don't feel that
I can at this point
My lips on this joint - I don't want that
Give me joy, give me sorrow
Forget it all tomorrow
Ain't no gift receipt on my soul so I know this time is borrowed
Just give me euphoria
I swear that I will return
Just to start the cycle over
Bliss accompanies the burn, but
Luckily, I've learned
It's not all in my control
I just keep dishing out this poison
And with every punch I roll
Chorus
Poison makes me a fighter
Do you believe in taking me higher?
Yeah, you got my heart on fire
[?] Poison, poison, takes me higher
Bridge
Back to the place I dread
Just for a minute to be out of my head, gotta go
Back to the place I dread
Just for a minute to be out of my head, gotta go
Back, back, back, back, back, back, back, gotta go
Back, back, back, back, back, back, back, I need that
Chorus
Poison makes me a fighter
Do you believe in taking me higher?
Yeah, you got my heart on fire
[?] Poison, poison, takes me higher
Whether I'm
Sober, drinking or overthinking - I'm
Missing on lessons that I hoped would sink in
I'm disappointed in myself, I really thought that
I was better than this
