My Name Is Cocaine

Beware my friend my name is cocaine, coke for short. I entered this country without a passport, ever since then, I‘ve been hunted and sought by junkies and pushers and plain clothes dicks’. Mostly my users, who need a quick fix. I’m more valued than diamonds, more treasured than gold, use me just once and you will be sold.
I’ll make a school boy forget his books.
I’ll make a beauty queen neglect her looks.
I’ll take a renown speaker and make him a bore.
I’ll take your mama an make her a whore.
I’ll make a school teacher forget how to teach.
I’ll make a preacher not want to preach. 
All kinds of people have fallen under my wing, just look around you can see the results of my sting.
I’ve got daughters turning on their mother.
I’ve got sisters robbing their brothers.
I’ve got burglars robbing the lord’s house.
I’ve got husbands pimping their spouse.
I’m king of crime and the prince of destruction.
I’ll cause the organs of your body to malfunction.
I’ll cause your babies to be born hooked.
I’ll turn the honest of men into crooks.
I’ll make you rob, steal and kill when you’re under my power, you have no will.
Remember my friend, my name’s big “C”, the rock, some call me the white lady.
I’ve destroyed actors, politicians and sport heroes.
I’ve decreased bank accounts from millions to zero.
I’m a bad habit, to tough for the man.
I’ve caused the law to invest in the battering-ram, yeah! I'm raising hell all over the earth, don’t believe me, just check out brynhurst.
I’ve got them standing on corners yelling “rock”.
I’ve made it where shootings and stabbing are common on the block.
Well, now you know, what will you do?
