So I guess I didn’t measure up.

I had the same substance, gram for gram,

but not concentrated enough.

You were after the hard stuff:

the class As, fire for the veins,

a perfect ten for your well versed brains.

My shit wasn’t the hit you needed,

I concede that.

But someone else will buy it,

and I’ll keep selling, and I’ll make a killing;

you’ll be telling your friends you knew me when.

I’m a gateway drug. Your kids will be doing me,

snorting lines I gave them.

When you overdose on high art,

the adrenaline needle you so desperately need

for your heart

will be me.
