Stop to think before you blow it
'Cause if you think you don't it will lead
You down the path to the end of your life

So - I finally got you hooked
Now you've become a crook
And your life belongs to me

Yo - you'll do anything to get me
How much you want to bet me
'Cause I'm pure ecstacy

You started spending up your money
Now you're cold and hungry
'Cause you have no place to live

Yep - life is getting kinda harder
Out there beggin' for a dollar
But nobody will give

Chorus

See - I told you life would get much harder
You thought you were smarter
But I'm always in control

Oh yes - so many out there love me
They can't get enough of me
Just one hit and then they're sold

They told you not to try me
Said you would never be free
There'd be something missing

Now you're hanging on the corner
Beggin' for a dollar
'Cause you refused to listen
