in that secret old tweeker place pad where we hide

i'm even learning how to cook.....SPEEEEEDDDD.......

Best Song Ever.......

He's was learning how to cook free base, not speed. Free base is when you take cocaine and water, put in a spoon, add pinch of baking soda, boil the mix with a lighter or matches under the spoon. An off white paste forms and floats on the top of the water, it is scraped off the top of the water with a knife, dried and smoked as a pure form of cocaine leaving impurities at the bottom of the spoon :)

I know this because sadly, my friend is hooked on it, don't think he will stop before his heart...

could also mean cooking his heroin before injecting it.

@Smootherpete - If you listen to the version of S.T.P. on Stand By Your Van, he clearly says "I'm even learning how to cook SPEED" Its crystal clear, just listen
