Tragic death of a close family friend, due to the use of alcohol

Ripple Effect

I knew this guy named Andy, he used to beat his family, and leave them bloody and blame it on the Brandy, his defense mechanism made him deny he had a problem / his job noticed it, that’s why they had to drop him, with no income he began to be very impatient, so he told his wife, “Why don’t you become a waitress, maybe we could make it, don’t worry I’ll take care of the kids, just make sure we got a couple of beers left in the fridge” / So he did exactly what he told her, then he called his friends over and then they began to play a game of poker no one sober and the kids were playing in the kitchen / making a mess with no proper adult super vision, without permission, his youngest child touched the stove, next thing you know, flames are burning all of his clothes / he was so exposed that he burnt half of his body and all Andy could tell his wife, “Listen Hun, I’m so sorry.”

Chorus
It’s a ripple effect when you sip on the edge, sit on the ledge, tilting you head, it spills on your legs, how much farther down will you crawl cause you’re still in this mess, Good Lord, drinking this liquor it could quicken your death 2x

Students in colleges out the bottle straight down the esophagus the alcoholic’s crave is bottomless and then they’ve got no sens4e to prevent viruses they could receive, when they go to bed with ease they could spread disease and STD’s going from straight A’s to D’s / their grades slip cause when they socialize they aim to please, don’t got a lot of friends / ruled by peers in dominance, drinking every drop to replace their lack of confidence
Too many Heinekens and a bad environment could ruin your life; we see today it’s so prevalent for someone to experiment and get intoxicated persuaded that getting wasted is the absolute greatest it’s so contagious / monkey see, I guess monkey do, next thing you know, “Yo, can you pass me that brew” That’s when you’re through and caught up in the web of alcohol, when you’re so drunk you start speaking like a Neanderthal

Chorus 2x

Mark parked his Windstar in the parking lot of a bar, he started drinking some shots and proceeded to have some more, and after getting intoxicated he headed back to his car, couldn’t get the key in the door so he fell asleep on the floor, when he woke up went back inside and saw his seat was taken, he started walking backwards saying bad words with hate, concentrating with a droopy face, staring into space, when he drinks straight he can’t think straight, Mark started throwing fits and everybody saw / they said “You aint driving nowhere man, you’re an alcoholic,” the bartender took his keys and put them in the closet, but mark headed to his car and put the spare key in his wallet / blasted this radio station 103.7, he put his feet on the gas, bopping his head to G-dep, fell asleep on the wheel on the expressway and leaned left and crashed into this Jeep and caused three deaths, and another thing…He survived

Chorus 4x
