ADDICT<\/p>\n

You grab your pipe, stick in a stash,
\nWas that marijuana, or was it hash?
\nYou’re poppin’ pills and sniffin’ glue,
\nWhat in the world is wrong with you?<\/p>\n

You grab a vein and squeeze it tight,
\nThen you’re flying as high as a kite.
\nNow listen fool, get it in your head,
\nIf you live that way, you end up dead.<\/p>\n

God gave you a body, a life to live,
\nKeep abusing it & He may not forgive.
\nTime for you to start livin’ straight,
\nShow your body respect, not that hate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
