Crack Makes You Lie

Crack Makes You Lie--- " Before I started smoking crack, I couldn't even tell a lie but I continued to smoke and I then learned just how to manipulate others, I cross my heart and hope to die." Now I can convince others that what I say is true and when I tell anything, I look them " straight" in the eyes, and believe you me that I wasn't the least bit shy, but I really didn't know: " crack makes you lie." We have our own ( sales pitch), boy, you should've heard some of them, What a trick, we had our (highs) and (lows), even so: "Crack makes you lie." We knew exactly what to tell, yeah, our conversations certainly did sell, we were good, yeah, we were the best of the best, we were all certainly put through those tests. Out in the hood, we were often known as " crackheads," well, we made our own beds, some of us didn't require no close friends, many of us had tight ties. We just didn't realize that, " crack really make you (spit) all kinda lies."
