Dedicated to those we've all lost to the Opioid Crisis and the battle of addiction
lyrics
Before Her
(a.k.a. B4 S(tupid) HE(roin))
beat by SV

[verse 1: Eyecon}
yeah...
Remember long time ago
before you met her(oin)
you still had a firm hold?
Grip bold
on this cold world
stripped soul
No hurt
Just open
So alert to get it rollin'.
But, then that moment
came from out of open.
Now, you've gona and
given all control
to ole girl.
Homie, where you goin'?
No, she doesn't help you grow
or let go for moments, no.
In fact, you just slowly go back
and not forward.
No motive
moan and groan, hopeless.
Dope in your pulse, pump.
Slow up your heart.
And your thoughts are all
caught up and on pause.
Lost in the vaults
and not thinkin 'bout tomorrow...
Or today..
Or yesterday especially
Just a blank face
as you wash away your memories..
and your destiny
No, I would've never seen it comin'
Hope it doesn't be the death of you
or be your summons.
Grief and sufferin'
weezin and huffin
for that drug, boy.
You want it, man
you need her
She loves you.. huh
Squeeze and hug her
Fiend for and steal cuz her
I remember when it wasnt like that.

[chorus: Eyecon accompanied by Capo]
Way back
you wanna go way back
way back when
this wasn't happenin..
Way back
the last group of
pages trashed
take it back
and rewrite that chapter
Way back
you wanna go way back
way back when
somethin' else mattered..
Way back
before bliss
before path
before her
before this
before that

[verse 2: Capo]
The pain we share
is deeper than the pain we wear
so why we paint a picture
like its crystal clear
I miss the happy days
and all the smiling faces
Sometimes, I ask myself
why did your mind erase us?
All the good times
the pawn shop replaced us
The scene got so sick
yeah, So contagious
You moved on to
the bigger shit
the more dangerous
To you, it was more glamorous
more entertainment.
Somewhere you got lost
like being almost famous
I pray everyday
for you to make the changes
We miss who you were
cause now you're so vacant
Been looking everywhere
the high and low places
But for now
until it all calms down
All I have to do
is search for you until your found
I rather find you at your worst
than in the ground...
If you ever wanna talk then
I’ll be around...

[chorus 1x]
[bridge: Eyecon]
Once upon a time..
There was someone
that I used to know
(used to know)
Once upon a time..
There was somewhere
else you used to go
(used to go)
Once upon a time..
You were someone that
I used to know
(used to know)
It never crossed my mind
that you'd be someone
That I used to know..
I thought you should know, so...

[verse 3: Eyecon]
I used to know you
It's sad, but true.
The story's through
Cuz you've been
ghost- gloom..
midnight ocean blue
In control of you
motor skills overload.
It's no use.
I've seen the same road unfold
on the storyboard
of so many souls before
Friend or foe
boy or girl
young or old
any of us...
Shit,
it seems like almost
every other.
But, not you!
No!
Guess I didn't
see it comin..
