A Tall Seven and Seven

Definitely, by far 1 of my favorite slug / atmosphere songs lyrically.

"Had I known you would have grown Into a full blown example of how to act like an asshole I never would have introduced you to booze and skipping school Because right now I feel responsible to find an antidote Back in junior high when you and I started getting high Life was just a joke, we was to young to know the punch line And you would sooner die, than realize you're running out of time Who is to decide there is no more recess after lunchtime Bam, here you am, intoxicated again "Yo, how you doing man?" Yeah, it's good to see you Bam, here you am, intoxicated again You used to be my man, understand? I believe you slightly succeeded how many of them drinks that you think you need When you are trying to boost the bonus points and reinforce your voice" Basically saying, if he knew drugs would turn his friend into what he is now, he never would have introduced him to them. He feels responsible, and because of that he wants to be the 1 to help him beat it because he feels like the 1 who caused it. Slugs saying when they were young and fucking around, it was all fun and games, but now it's not. I love the line "Who's to decide there's no more recess after lunchtime?" It basically says, who decides when it all stops being fun?

"But I'm not trying to walk within your obnoxiousness We used to be friends back in the day when you had direction But that was before your brain felt that infection I ain't claiming innocence, I was right there with you then But I'm just saying, when we was waiting to move up Some of us grew up We all knew what the difference between what wrong and right was Sometimes the line blurred when we was influenced by a light buzz" Here he's saying, that they used to be friends before his friend got so fucked up on drugs. Slugs saying he's not innocent, he was right there getting high with him, but he grew up. They know right and wrong, but the line that separates them gets severely blurred with drugs

"But from what I see You've established the persona basis Built the foundation for emulating the genera, drama Without taking the moments upon the trail of karma That's paved through the field that you wandered No longer am I shocked by the things you do I'm just confused as to why it has to be me to confront you I guess nobody else gives a damn So I got to go up myself, because I am a man, understand? You can take it as concern, or you can see it as your ego getting burned" He's saying he's so used to his friend fucking up that it no longer surprises him anymore, he just doesn't get why he's the only 1 to confront him.

" Either way tonight though, one us is going to learn And I guess nobody else gives a damn, but see I do Because you used to be my man, understand? Even if you beat me down to the cement, it's all love I need to see you stick around until the end Bam, intoxicated again, right? Got to go up myself Bam, because I am a man, understand? " He's saying it might seem like nobody cares, but he does, because they used to be so close, and he doesn't want to lose his friend to this.

This describes EXACTLY where I'm at. Word for word.

I believe you slightly succeeded how many of them drinks that you think you need

It's exceeded, not succeeded
