Текст песни: I Am a Dope Fiend + перевод

This is a story about a friend real close to me

Through high school, junior high, elementary

We stuck together like Siamese twins

I loved him, he was my best friend

But anyway he left for someone and then he came back

But something was different, he was hooked on crack

And when I asked, he thought I was joking

He laughed and said he wasn’t smoking

So one day he came over and fell asleep

I kind of stood over him real quietly

I couldn’t believe it happened to the

Until I heard him saying this in his dream

I am a dope fiend and I need drugs

I just bought it from Chico (Yo, man, who’s that?) the neighborhood thug

You’re telling me to stop but I say «Go»

I am a dope fiend and oh

I need mo', I need mo'

I told him, «Man, you need some help»

But you can’t help anyone who won’t help them self

They don’t want to go to double A

'Cause all they do is watch films all day

About drugs, and what it does to your body

Heroin comes from China so I guess it knows karate

So what else can I say?

You’re losing 30 pounds a day, and hey

You think that’s funny, you blame it on the slim fast

But that slim fast, is kicking your ass

Now who in the world you gonna blame?

Me? Your parents? You put yourself on the cocaine

You say you’re gonna quit, yeah right

I seen you sneaking off to the rock house last night

True enough I’m still your friend

He went to sleep and he said this again

I am a dope fiend and that’s a rock house

And that’s my dope bucket, you go put-put-putting about

You’re telling me to stop, but I say «Go»

Cause I am a dope fiend and oh

I can’t help myself, I need mo'

A week later after we had this talk

He died, in a cross walk

But what I couldn’t understand

He had a bullet in his chest and a pipe in his hand

It’s kind of sad when you think about it

But I’m glad, that we talked about it

And I wonder to this very day

If my boy could see me, what would he say?
