Firewater
I'm not the first or the last to drink the white man's wine
It makes me feel fine or I start crying, one of the two
My parents passed it around and now they're gone too
Who is responsible for their deaths? Certainly they thought it through?
I grew up with the smell of liqour on my clothes
I come from two drunken households and it really shows
The late nights of their drunken stupor showed me how to handle my beers
Too bad it didn't do much for my childhood fears

It's childhood experiences... And your upbringing that mold you and make you the person you become.
I was brought up in a household where drink was always present.
I wouldn't say it did me no harm, but I wouldn't be who I am today if not for it.
I try to make a positive out of a negative.
