Hooked on it all, it was just a game, until the one sad day when the bad news came.
A tiny, little baby was part of me now; I knew I had to quit but I didn't know how.
I bacame addicted; I needed it to live. I knew it was going to kill me; it was going to kill my kid.
I tried to stop, but it didn't work; now he is born, that's when it hurt.
Addicted to crack, and just a new born; he is innocent, and my heart is torn.
I need the feeling that makes me feel great; thought I know in my heart its me I should hate.
I look at my son through the nursery door; I hold his small hand and stare at the floor.
I tell him I'm sorry, and I'll quit just for him; I'll try really to repent of my sin.
He lets out a cry, he kicks his small feet; and then comes the sound that makes my knees weak.
The long peircing sound saying he's gone; saying he paid for what i did wrong.
Only six hours old, not enough to call life; and I know it's my fault, so I tell him good-bye.
I wisper to him, I'll prove it to you now, I'll do anything for you, and I'll manage somehow.
It'll be hard, because I'm just a teen; but I'll remember you, and someday I'll be clean.
