Having a good time, picking up highlights, occasionally crossing the line Went to the doctor, that's when he told me you're running out of time The pills that he gave me,they wouldn't save me, just give me a few more years That's when i told him, there's no point in fixing something that aint broken Experimental, chemical kid, no i wont be a guinea pig refusing their treatment, they wouldn't treat me, waiting for me to get sick Self medication, helping me live long, slowing the virus down playing a card game, having a good time, ignoring the danger signs They gave me pills to keep me alive, but I question why ? Playing poker with my life, i don't want to die balancing pain with a place in the fast lane, burning the midnight oil Getting weaker, with only weeks left, i had to take the pills improved medication,threw me a life line, getting me back on track I'm a survivor, i'm still alive now there's nothing to hold me back They gave me pills to keep me alive, I still question why ? Playing poker with my life, gonna reach that high Coz i'm having a good time
