Doctor
My doc says "hey, you fine?"
I shook my head, yes doc I'm fine
but if you keep bringing it up then
it'll keep bringing it to my mind.
I'm barely staying alive.
Can you please move aside and let this shit ride?
I promise I'm fine.
He says "here's a new pill to try"
Doc, I don't need that I promise marijuana is just fine, I rather get high.
He told me "see that's the biggest depression sign."
Nah doc it's me staying alive
that pill will change who I am inside.
I want marijuana I promise it's not that bad of a high!
shookened he scolded, "It's illegal why don't you just understand this will take affect
better than any drug can"
You're trying to give me a legal pill to help me heal,
I'm sorry but that's not the deal
please move aside and let me feel.
