Girl, Girl, Girl That's your life Girl, smoking that glass pipe I come from the city of dope, it couldn't be saved by John the Pope 'Cause a base head never sees the light, two fat raps to the head last night Cocaine Cocaine, is that your rap? Every day and night it's coming back, C-O-C-A-I-N-E The rich man's high is what it used to be, but things look different in '85 Cocaine, cocaine is that your high? Since age thirteen, what have I seen? A lot of base heads, straight coke fiends, snorting, puffing, that's the life But it's all over when you hit that pipe, big coke dealers on the knock All smoked out with no more rocks, base heads buy, coke from him But he smokes more than all of them, the big coke man, ain't too cool He smokes more than all you fools, he's got a lot of dope, but not a lot of bank A brand new car with an empty tank Pretty white smoke all in his chest, and a '84 Benz, repossessed Girl, that's your life (don't do it) Girl smoking that glass pipe (don't do it) Fresh young tender, only fifteen, walking on a strip, just wanna be seen Never touched coke a day in her life, but now that girl's got to have her pipe 'Cause she met a man, his name was Jock, do it to her a good and he smoked a rock Put it in a joint all crunched up, and now every day she takes a puff Girl, that's your life (don't do it) Girl smoking that glass pipe (don't do it) I know you know what coke can do, come into your life and take over you Now you're kicking back thinking 'bout your dream But it never comes true 'cause you're just a coke fiend You asked your woman 'What's the prob?' She said 'It's you 'cause you don't do your job' Used to make good love from the start But now the coke did damage to your private parts Girl, that's your life Girl smoking that glass pipe (don't do it) Your mind is gone, your brain is blazed, you've been wide awake for the last three days Inhale, exhale, you don't care, coke smoke only, no fresh air You can't even talk, you don't wanna listen, you and your buddy on a cocaine mission Three days straight, where's your mind? It's gone out of town and your brain is fried Just smoke and choke until you're broke, just smoke that coke until you croak And it would be, I can't lie, no good loss if you should die 'Cause your life is wrecked, your girl was checked She chose on me and I was set, i took her home to make my move But she wanted to base, she's just like you Girl, that's your life (don't do it) Girl smoking that glass pipe (don't do it) You saved your money for a year-and-a-half You're so damn stupid, you make me laugh Bought a car co-signed by daddy, a 1980 Fleetwood Caddy You drove that car every place, until that day when you first based Look at it now, the real big wheeler, sold that Caddy to a big coke dealer Girl, that's your life (don't do it) Girl smoking that glass of pipe (don't do, don't do it, don't do it) When you base coke, until you're broke Where I come from, we call you smoked, S-M-O-K-E-D To smoke more coke is all you need, you say coke is it, it's all that counts It's got more ounce to the bounce, it put your life in a state of shock Got you singing to yourself, "I'm the king of rock" Girl, that's your life (don't do it) Girl smoking that glass of pipe (don't do it, don't do it, don't do it) Rocks made you, and now you simp, seven hookers and one down pimp If you never based in the first place, there's no way you could pimp today 'Cause it got you sprung, and you said, "Look I gotta have money 'cause I am hooked" None of your girls would ever quit, 'cause you used game to get a hit You're the best base head to ever live, you always take and you never give You got your girls hooked too, and that is why right now you're through They took your house, car and gold, and you got life with no parole Smooth locked down, without a doubt, you killed two hookers when they smoked you out Girl, that's your life Girl smoking that glass of pipe (don't do it) You say don't knock it, until you try it It cost too much, I'll never buy it So I won't try it, and you should knock it You always have coke in your pocket Wherever you go, in this world It's not just you, it's you and that girl You love Snow White, she's your life Smoking that coke in a glass pipe Girl, Too $hort You needed some money and your girl came through Now you're gonna smoke for a hour or two But that's not you, that's what you thought Fake base rocks is what you bought From some young brother, on some street One sick base head just got beat Got his rocks and rushed them home Put it on the pipe and they just phoned One sick base head lost all hope Thought he bought coke and just bought soap Got his gun and who got shot Some young punk at the base rock spot Standing out there, all alone One base head, his mind was gone He had to shoot 'cause someone got One base head with a fake base rock Girl, that's your life (don't do it, don't do it, don't do it) Girl smoking that glass of pipe (don't do it, don't do it, don't do it) It's the C-O-C-A-I-N-E The rich man's high is what it used to be But things looking different in '85 Cocaine, cocaine, the whole world's high Wherever I go, in any town, you know cocaine is all around Right now today, in '85 You better stop smoking while you're still alive (Girl), girl that's your life (don't do it) Girl, smoking that glass pipe (don't do it) That's your life Smoke that glass pipe That's your life Just smoke that glass pipe Girl (Girl, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl) (Girl, girl, girl, girl)
