Liquor & Depression Lyrics

I use to watch my momma drink her anger out

Overwhelmed by the struggle relieving stress

Uncle took our toys and bikes from the house

He drunk himself to death I hope in peace he rests

Auntie was on the same thing but she dove deeper

Granny said she's getting high I thought she meant reefer

If history repeats

Then this drinking I've been doing is way deeper than I think

When the pain rises my pride shrinks

Nobody taught me how to cope

All I know is when my momma took a sip she looked free

I was young and couldn't see that really she looked weak

From decades of abuse mentally and the physical

Liquor ain't as fun as I thought this shit is critical

Never witnessed therapy alcohol the medicinal

Another fight on a school night shit was typical

Proud of my momma because she left him

The way he talked to her I can't respect him

It could've turned ugly any second

But we're steady mixing liquor and depression

I've been in a funk

I've been getting drunk

I don't know what's next for me

Chasing my destiny

Mixing liquor with depression

We're still mixing liquor with depression

Ain't learned my lesson

So what I think about my progress while I pour up

I use to want to be alive when I grow up

I use to act an ass in class then got my ass tore up

Wanted attention so much

Another liquor store run slurring my wisdom

Cognac or depression either way it's dark in my system

Don't feel bad for me I never settled as a victim

Producing chances from my circumstances

Reducing damage gaining understanding

Like how to take a perfect shot

Then keep taking more shots until the hurting stops

Because everybody fell in love with the drunk Skip

This D'ussé makes me do and say some dumb shit

But they don't know the history so I can't fault them

Forever at a disadvantage that's a raw deal

Taking notes from adversity I draw skill

I'm bigger than my family curses let's all heal

I've been in a funk

I've been getting drunk

I don't know what's next for me

Chasing my destiny

Mixing liquor with depression

We still mixing liquor with depression

Ain't learned my lesson
