I miss your voice before the emphysema/
before you hit that pipe that goes and stains your teeth up/
calluses from the frets of your guitar/
replaced by burns by cigarettes behind the bar/
And you would wake up with no make up/
And now we find you on the floor with your face caked up/
And, they say you look great/
they tell you what you wanna hear but never ever state what they should say/
nah they ain't your friends baby,you know it right?/
they just come around when it's not a sober night/
Lay up on your couch then they snort up all your white/
Which you bought from them come on miss, you know the type/
Never not around it so you'll take another hit/
With friends like that, I don't think you're gonna quit/
Just like the movies, yeah, you love that shit/
she's having too much fun I don't think she's gonna quit/
I'm thinking back to when you first started using/
and the way that you changed when under the influence/
how you pulled that dress off, I will admit/
you slimmed down, your lips smiled stained with tints of red/
while you move your hips now without innocence/
For men who sip cristal and dance with ill intent/
and that twinkle in your eye began to shine a different glint/
No longer impressed by the simple shit/
man, we used to watch flicks and blow herb/
late nights at your pad, just chill with no words/
and to top it off you were just as fun sober/
type of woman that i'd introduce to old earth/
Nowadays, you say I'm so boring/
And disappear into the next room/
Taste the drip while outside it's pouring/
And leave to find more people like you
Seems like you only hit up my phone/
To ask me for cash to get at that coke/
I gave in a couple 'cause I heard some talk/
when you can't afford the blow you settle for some rock/
I'm just a number you call when you use people/
And make em' justify the lesser of two evils/
Goddammit you've changed/
You've become so numb to the ones who cant handle the pain/
Of witnessing, your outward appearance/
reflecting your newfound habits and inner demons/
sunken cheeks that hardly contain your teeth in/
Baggy eyes that daydream of dreaming/
Paper skin and an open mouth that spits/
with a nerveless tongue speaking in broken promises/
They're still seeking a soul in all of this/
They still keep their hope but I'm not convinced/

Produced by Steez
If you were a fan of the production work Steez did on here, be sure to check out his first release called Bless. He's working hard on some new music that is really going to showcase his range. Ahnom
You can't go wrong with Oddisee. Everything he has made is amazing. If any rapper has influenced me the most recently, it's hands down Oddisee. If I could be half as good as an MC as he is... Ahnom
Tope is a local hero to me from the Portland rap scene. To be real, I don't follow the local scene here too hard, but Tope will always be an artist I think of when someone mentions Portland. Ahnom
