I used to see my buddy Fayaz looking all depressed
I guessed that he was in some major tests
After class we used to go and play some ball
He was fast and tall he surpassed us all
But after a while I'd see him playing less and less
He be looking more depressed and stressed at best
So one day after class I took him aside
I said tell me what's going on man are you alright
He said I got some issues with my folks I cant resolve
No need to stress you out bro or get you involved
So I put it to him have you started smoking weed
And the answer that he gave me really made be grieve
He said yeah once in a while when I need to mellow out
But I'll be alright I'm not the one to worry about
Yo we got to get you help before you ruin yourself
You got greatness ahead you ain't like everyone else
He said I promise I'll be fine and he gave me his hand
So I trusted him and hoped that he would soon understand
Couple months went by and he be worse and worse
Like he was thrown in a curse I hoped that he would reverse
Then one day he asked me for a couple a bucks
He said he needs to pay a friend and right now he's stuck
I said I know you smoking crack now confirmed that for a fact now
I gotta get you help now don't even try to back down
Gave him the money he promised Monday he would meet me
Friday got the call that would defeat me completely
Fayaz had died of a drug over dose
It was the saddest day ever ain't nothing comes close
Man I hate those drugs hate em with all of my soul
Chokes the young and the old till their bodies is cold
So I don't care if you're a player or a wanna be thug
Don't ever ever come close to drugs

It's happening more and more each day
These drugs making my friends crazy
I'm laying it down don't bring it around
Cos I ain't nothing but drug free

Months later was still mourning his death
Was angry and sad that he fell in this mess
A teacher who noticed how miserable my soul was came over
He said I see your carrying a boulder
I know that I'm older but let me tell you something that I never ever told ya put my arms around his shoulder
My daughter she was the pride of my heart
As a father we were never far apart
Was a popular girl always on top of the world
Never scared to try something new and give it a whirl
But she had low self esteem if you know what I mean
And it only takes a moment yo to devastate a dream
She started hanging with this girl from school
Her grades went down and she started breaking rules
And it festered and festered we didn't want to face it
Till one day she came home totally wasted
Then friend told us she was close to being arrested
We put our foot down and we forced her to get tested
She tested positive for drugs but there was something else
The doctor asked to do more tests to check up on her health
And then came the news that would totally defeat me
Her use of all the needles she had gotten HIV
I was livid that moment and that feeling I will always live with it
Man it's still vivid
She died 5 years ago nothing I could help
My Lord has helped me with this pain that I felt
With tears in me eyes yo I gave him a hug
May God give you strength to keep away from drugs (Drugs free)
Keep away from drugs (Drugs free)
Keep away from drugs (Drugs free)
