Pip Skid - Beer Monster Lyrics

[Verse One]Alcohol was my gateway drug to TylenolThe reason you would ever see me up in the mallWith a big brown bag that says "Not to drink and drive"And sometimes I'm surprised that I made it home aliveCause the city has always been slapping me aroundTrying to hide but so easily foundLike a pound of bud trying to sneak over the boarderFound and stopped, they must retain orderI'm not here, nudge nudge, wink winkThe only time I'm present is chasing weed with drinkYou think I'm negative?Then you're underestimatingBeen in talks with the devil renegotiatingHe can see that he's got a bright future in meI'm a terrible person you wouldn't want to beGot a secret life outside hip hop and workMy private symphony, all alone doing dirtSo I drinkTo keep my tooth ache shyBut it's a social butterfly, living in a pigstyDentist's don't fuck with me I can't call itOr they be pulling all credit cards out the walletIn the meantime I eat Tylenol 3If you were in my shitty shoes I'm sure you'd agreeThat somehow you gotta dull the thumping sicknessAnd the pain leaves fast like the money with the quicknessWhen I drink[Scratching]"Now sometimes I try to put it down and back away""Why oh why do I live this way?"[Hook]I drink to keep from worryingSmile to keep from cryingIt's a mean old world that almost stopped me from tryingI got trapped in a haze of booze and weedLost my focus, no longer knew what I needAnd I would feed the beer monster whenever it askedSingle malt, always in a Pip Skid flaskSimilar to my mom, a person I hold dearShe could hold her rye and I could hold my beer[Verse Two]Tormented by my conscious, wouldn't want it another wayBut holy shit, this is a fucked up dayI'ma stay home, pace around my bachelor padI'm like a really good, anti-marijuana adLooking badBut had to release the pressureClothes all on the floor like I was protesting dresserHiding out, P-noid like Nice & SmoothLooking through the peep hole thinking it's time to moveEating some stupid shit at a stupid hourBut the world pushes me to be bitter and sourForce a smile and put a flame to that thicknessAnd the pain leaves fast like the money with the quicknessWhen I smoke[Scratching]"Now sometimes I try to put it down and back away""Why oh why do I live this way?"[Verse Three]Used to start my night off with a liter of StrongbowIt ends me bugging the DJ, "Could you play another song? No?"On so much drama, I'm like hotel linenBut you don't wanna eat then immediately go swimmingSo I would wait at least two before I'd drown my systemI saw Pharcyde play back in the day but I missed 'emI blamed the Old E that used to coat my throatBut I was young and had the stomach lining of a goatAnd my theory was that if I drank quality beersI'd give my wafer thin body a couple more yearsAnd a couple years is all I got, now I get sickWhen I tip the yeasty bottle to my skinny little lipsSlumped over, can't breathe, break out in hivesBeing forced off the liquor was a blessing in disguiseInstead I exercise try to fix my mistakesYou gotta listen to your body when it puts on the breaksWhen I think[Scratching]"Now sometimes I put it down and back away""Why oh why do I live this way?"[Hook]I drink to keep from worryingSmile to keep from cryingIt's a mean old world that almost stopped me from tryingI got trapped in a haze of booze and weedLost my focus, no longer knew what I needAnd I would feed the beer monster whenever it askedJaegermeister, always in a Pip Skid flaskSimilar to my mom, a person I hold dearShe could hold her rye and I could hold my beer[Scratching]"Why oh why do I live this way?""Now sometimes I try to put it down and back away, but it be calling me"[Outro]"If that's your idea of an ambassador, we're headed for a lot of trouble"
