Body Count - The Winner Loses (with Lyrics)

Body Count - The Winner Loses
My friends addicted to cocaine
smokes day and night
drives mom and pop insane.
Living his life in the dark light
every dollar he gets goes into the pipe.
He wants to borrow some money from me
do you think Im blind
dont know the score
cant see?
You wanna get high as the sky
(Youre kissin your life goodbye) Youre kissin your life goodbye
(You think its a game) You think its a game that you play
(But the winners lose) But the winners lose it all someday.
Ya dont know who you are
are you losin your mind?
Things get a little tight he committed a crime.
Give me your money or give me your life!
You better empty your pockets because ya,
ya dont live twice.
You wanna get high as the sky
(Youre kissin your life goodbye) Youre kissin your life goodbye
(You think its a game) You think its a game that you play
(But the winners lose) But the winners lose it all someday.
He took the money to the dope man
and he said he had the best
next thing ya knew, cardiac arrest!
It was a rollercoaster, he couldnt get off
next thing I knew my friends life was lost. Nooooooooo.
You think its a game, you think its a game,
You think its a game, you think its a game,
You think its a game, you think its a game,
You think its a game, you think its a game,
You think its a game, you think its a game,
You think its a game, you think its a game,
You think its a game, you think its a game,
You think its a game, you think its a game,
You think its a game, you think its a game,
You think its a game, you think its a game,
You think its a game, you think its a game,
You think its a game, you think its a game,
You wanna get high as the sky
(Youre kissin your life goodbye) Youre kissin your life goodbye
(You think its a game) You think its a game that you play
(But the winners lose) But the winners lose it all someday.
You wanna get high as the sky
(Youre kissin your life goodbye) Youre kissin your life goodbye
(You think its a game) You think its a game that you play
(But the winners lose) But the winners lose it all someday.
You wanna get high as the sky
(Youre kissin your life goodbye) Youre kissin your life goodbye
(You think its a game) You think its a game that you play
(But the winners lose) But the winners lose it all someday.
You wanna get high as the sky.

Well... consider yourself lucky.. 'cause you live in Germany, where it's ten time "easier" (but FOR REAL) to get off it, compared with my part of Europe, the fucking Balkans. Where they only put you on a methadone or buprenorphine, and tell you, there you go, you are now good for life. If you need more, come and we'll give it to you a stronger dose! And one after another, the ones who wanted to get off it, start dying a year after year, just as they were doing when they were on the streets, doing heroin!

Je connaissais ICE T auparavant par rapport à ses albums de rap J’avais acheté le CD la semaine de sa sortie avec deux potes,c’était encore la version censuré avec le cop Killer sur le torse,la pochette était incroyable On va chez lui l’après midi On avait 14-15 ans On a mis ça dans la platine de ses parents qui n’étaient pas là Bam ! On est devenu fou tellement l’album était puissant Je l’écoutais en 91 et je l’écoute encore aujourd’hui en 2019 Des morceaux et une ambiance de folie tout le long
