"Pandora's Box" lyrics

"Pandora's Box"

Yeah, I got a friend that gets high on his own supply
When I look at him now, I don't know the guy
His coke never came in a can
Nah, there's no saving a man, it's no surprise
That he's hanging with strangers on the road at night
Talking to everybody like shit
But if you've got any drugs, then he's so polite
"I'm tryna be like you," bro, you know the type
He's got his eyes wide open
I'm looking through the window to his soul, I can see my guy's broken
Hands hurting from the grudges he's holdin'
One day, he will talk to me, I'm hopin'
He said social media gives him anxiety
I looked up, I see him still scrollin'
It's a gift and a curse when you're chosen
When you're the man in the city, Phil Foden
Is it gambling, clothes, or sex?
You can't figure out why you're so obsessed
Everybody got vices
Everybody got thoughts that they hope to forget
You said that you wanna be successful
You never knew it was gonna be so much stress
Life was easier when you needed less
But don't look back, you might get depressed

Fentanyl, paracetamol
Panadol, Adderall
Finessekid, I don't do drugs
Feel like in a past life, I had 'em all
Trabaye down a rabbit hole
Old demons attack your soul
You got locked in Pandora's box
Think it's time you cracked the code
Fentanyl, paracetamol
Panadol, Adderall
Finessekid, I don't do drugs
Feel like in a past life, I had 'em all
Trabaye down a rabbit hole
Old demons attack your soul
You got locked in Pandora's box
Think it's time you cracked the code

Remember you never used to care about it
Now you never go anywhere without it
You talk like a tough guy, but you're a slave to addiction
So who really wears the trousers?
Your wifey never used to leave your side
You got weak, now you don't know where your spouse is
I had to slow down on the loud
Some days last year, I was blazing ounces
I could never sit on my high horse and boast
Some people quit, some microdose
Life is a game of blackjack
Tryna see twenty-one, it's all about the highs and lows
I know the energy I put out, it comes back
Universe reacts and I prepare to attract
And it's Murphy's law
For what I fear the most, how scary is that?

Fentanyl, paracetamol
Panadol, Adderall
Finessekid, I don't do drugs
Feel like in a past life, I had 'em all
Trabaye down a rabbit hole
Old demons attack your soul
You got locked in Pandora's box
Think it's time you cracked the code
Fentanyl, paracetamol
Panadol, Adderall
Finessekid, I don't do drugs
Feel like in a past life, I had 'em all
Trabaye down a rabbit hole
Old demons attack your soul
You got locked in Pandora's box
Think it's time you cracked the code
