[Verse 1 Zi] Realitys a hard thing to cope with And it gets critical when you get tired of hoping Your life sucks but you swore to never give up Youre picturing your future hoping that theres better to come But sometimes reality just catches you up And this is when you catch yourself pouring death in a cup You go from drowning your worries to drowning in your worries Start to wake up late although you go to bed early You couldve been a doctor a teacher an attorney Now youre not even sure if youll ever make it to thirty Used to have a dollar and a dream You just killed that dream with a dollar Couldnt find no open door so youve opened a bottle And though it aint funny its ironic How trying to get away got you hitting rock bottom Cant say that was a smart move Hoping for a bright future drunk in a dark room [Verse 2 Zi] Some people drink to forget you drink to have something to remember Youre bout to hit the club its the 31st of December Kiss your daughter good night thank God you found a baby sitter Meet up with a few friends and hit the liquor store So once you get there youre just ready to get down on the floor Music banging plus you know the DJ cause youve been there before And all night youll be drinking some more And some more and some more Cause it aint fun if you dont get drunk Youre acting so dumb but its so much fun Celebrating life and the fact that youre still young Imagine all the crazy things that you wouldnt have done But now its time to leave the party cause its like quarter to six Youre drunk but confidant that you can make it to the crib Your eyelids are getting heavy and you try to resist Close your eyes for a second now youre driving off the bridge [Verse 3 Zi] Youre at this party fine women everywhere its like a movie Youre feeling fresh mood is set the DJs playing Juicy You spot one and walk up to her staring at the booty To go home with that cuties like a duty Exchange a few words and buy the chick a drink and shit 2 hours later shes the chick youre leaving with Half hour later shes the chick youre sleeping with And last time you heard from her told you she was pregnant and shes keeping it Cause when you stopped to get that bottle you forgot the condoms You thought it wouldntve been a problem til you find out youre a father And now youre thinking if she wants to keep it well be it but you Never wanted that kid So you ignore the situation acting like your daughter doesnt exist But seven years later someone shows up at the door to your crib Telling you her mother just died after driving off a bridge See you were picturing your future hoping that theres better to come But sometimes reality just catches you up And this is when you catch yourself pouring death in a cup Yeah pouring death in a cup Yeah pouring death in a cup
