Joker Toker

He was just a young, 14 year old joker toker,

A one skin roller, full baccy, heavy smoker.

Never see a man whitey, quicker than a roller-coaster,

Always coughing up, he's a real phlegm croaker.

Then tells me he's got a heavy rabbit, just on the green, 

I tell him, mate, u don't what a real rabbit means.

And it's cruel, but he's only on his first pair of jeans.

Wait 20 years, then feel what a real rabbit means.

Trainspotting style, robbing quality tops,

Never been in a town, that your not on shop-watch.

Running from your demons, as fast as those cops,

N u aint got any means, to make it all stop.

Help don't come easy, the Tories saw to that,

A mental health team, getting paid for ever outpatient they get.

Can u hop to that green cross, when ur covered in sweat?

N take a tipple u don't want, just to show ur a good bet.

Nowhere to go, coz the free NHS hotels, all got shut down,

Look everywhere, and it's been a country wide crack down.

You'll have to pay 12 grand private, come out, still in meltdown,

And the only rooms are money money, n their all uptown.

But don't worry son, there's always a quick way out,

Just lie in that bath, take a handful of sweets n jus don't shout.

Make sure your so your drunk, so you won't get out,

And wave goodbye to the pain, as ur eyes die out.

It's a shame, coz u could have been in a real dream team,

Making more notes, than the BOE can print full steam.

Driving company cars, private health care, real cream,

But your ur still using using, coz that life's just a pipe dream.

Wet white crumbs, on a pipe made of coke cans,

And holes from the pull, covered in ash from the back of ur hand.

Standing in alleys, inhaling dirty smoke as fast as u can,

Robbing and going to jail, is a never ending non plan.

So just stop, when u take that first ever pull,

Your probably on ur lunch break, toking at school.

Come back laughing and giggling, coz ur just a silly fool.

But if u just said no, u cud have skipped life's cesspool.
