lyrics

I just happen to be great at reflectin'
That's why I'm Grey Matter, makin' these connections
But when I put it together what do I see?
Unfortunately, I have addictive tendencies
I think it's in my genes and I've had it since a seed
My sister doesn't; I'm not sure what that means
My mama had an O.D., I tried to intervene
But my power was weaker than the demons on her team
I heard her inner screams in the letters she wrote me
Now I'm doin' the same except I'm not a dope fiend
At least that's what I say every day I smoke weed
Does it even help? I don't know, I'm just coping
Yeah, it's either this or it's that
It's not crack but blackjack, I've lost stack after stack
And that's fact that I lack holdin' back, I don't chill
I'm constantly chasin' a thrill...

Chorus:
All I care about is you (4x)
Who's the one to blame?
Comin' in-between me and my dreams?

I just happen to be great at reflectin'
That's why I'm Grey Matter, makin' these connections
Now when I put it together what do I see?
Fortunately, I've been workin' on my tendencies
Well, actually, I was forced I admit it
10 years ago got a DUI and blew twice the limit
Now I'm eatin' twice the spinach
Cause ever since that night I put my plight into fitness
Plus this writin' business gettin' reignited
It's like my body and my mind's reunited
But there's no hidin' and no asylum
It's inside, it's inside, it's always inside him
If I search then I can find the weakest link
With some work over time the weakness shrinks
Eventually it's trash; I don't need these things
The more I let go of the more I free these wings

Chorus:
All I care about is you (4x)
Who's the one to blame?
Comin' in-between me and my dreams?

Outro:
Stress almost held me down
