No tricks up my sleeve   I kicked the downs and now I'm clean   No shakes up my spine   I beat the speed and I dumped the wine      No tracks that was yesterday   I changed my style, the way I play   Don't you believe it   No blues, no depression   No more panic or obsession      Don't you believe anything he said   All them junkies talk that way   It's just as bad as it was before   I see the man knockin' at his back door      Oh, this kid's straight and put on ice   The street corner deals at any price   Come on and check my veins   And check my eyes      No tracks that was yesterday   I changed my style, the way I play   Don't you believe it   No blues, no depression   No more panic or obsession      Some tricks just go away   And other tricks, they're here to stay   Oh don't you know me?   Sometimes my spirit's willin'   The flesh is weak and that's what's killin'      Don't you believe anything he said   All them junkies talk that way   It's just as bad as it was before   I see the man knockin' at his back door      Hey, now this kid's straight, put on ice   The street corner deals at any price   Come on and check my veins   And check my eyes      I tried so hard but I'm hurting for another fix   It's just this habit I, I can always kick   What do you say there friend?   Don't you call me      It's just a game   And I can beat it any day   No matter what this lovely lady say   Hey, wanna be my friend?      Some tricks they go away   And other tricks, they're here to stay   Oh don't you know me?   Sometimes my spirit's willin'   The flesh is weak and that's what's killin'      Oh, don't you believe anything he said   All them junkies, talk that way   It's just as bad as it was before   I see the man knockin' at his back door      I said, This kid's straight and put on ice   The street corner deals at any price   Come on and check my veins   And check my eyes
