12 Steps by Myer Clarity Lyrics

Genre: rap | Year: 2019

[Announcer]
Wanna hear some staggering statistics
The  average age when kids start drinking alcohol
Is  twelve and a half
Cause later, can be too late

[Chorus]
Every one step forward is 12 back
Every  one night sober, there’s 12 smashed
You  get one life, don’t you forget that
I hope that one day, I’ll get my breath back

[Verse One]
I  been dreaming ‘bout this life since a young trouble maker
Only major difference ‘tween us I was dumb enough to chase it
Mr Young, Dumb & Wasted
Had my first 40 at fifteen, my friends watched it change him
Lost  Myer in a Marijuana crossfire
High as a bitch, No drive, like a popped tire
Went from all nighters to Budweisers
Ask around, they all liars
No faith, my flow make God tired
I know, I know
Took a little time, I was moving real slow
Had a few bad habits that I couldn't let go
Now I'm back this year its a fuckin’ field goal
I'ma blow
I was always on some “Homie, you can knock it out tomorrow"
‘Till tomorrow started piling up, my yesterdays enormous
Every time I let me down, 7 years of hangovers
But we grow up, now I swear it, tomorrow never been closer
[Chorus]
Every one step forward is 12 back
Every one night sober, there’s 12 smashed
You get one life, don’t you forget that
I hope that one day, I’ll get my breath back
[Ad-lib: I get my breath back]
Every one step forward is 12 back
Every one night sober, there’s 12 smashed
You get one life, don’t you forget that
I hope that one day, I’ll get my breath back

[Verse Two]
I know, I know, I know
We ain't got no place to go
We don't wanna go home
Like our friends did
Poor a lil liquor out
Got it figured out
Beer belly stickin’ out
Feeling like it could have gone different
Driftin’ out with a ciggy in my wrinkled mouth
Man, there’s something I could drink about
Eighteen lost my homie, Nineteen lost my moms, think about it
I just need to drink about it
26 of Morgans, I just need to wrap my lips around it
Just don't feel the same way as how I used to feel about it
Now I'm sinking down in this depression
Reaching out while everybody kicks my fingers out and
Ohhh
What's another drop to a life time of no control?
You ain't gotta go home
If god called, would I check my phone?
[Ad-lib: Probably not]

[Chorus]
Every one step forward is 12 back
Every one night sober, there’s 12 smashed
You get one life, don’t you forget that
I hope that one day, I’ll get my breath back
[Ad-lib: I get my breath back]
Every one step forward is 12 back
Every one night sober, there’s 12 smashed
You get one life, don’t you forget that
I hope that one day, I’ll get my breath back

Nothing good
Nothing good
Nothing good about the last drop

[Outro - Yelawolf Interview]
I don’t expect people to watch this
And like
Go buy my album
Because I’m a role model for k-
I’m not that guy, man
I’m just
I’m just doing me, man
If I wanna drink, I’m gonna drink
Drinking is my vice
Y’know it’s like
I don’t act like I don’t drink
I don’t, like
There’s a lotta people out there
I believe, that like, are fake about who they are as alcoholics
And, yknow
Theres a lot of people that just won’t say it
For me I’m just like
Yeah, cool
I love to drink
