"Alcohol"
(Royce da 5'9 'Cocaine' Remix)
Mumma loved alcohol, more than she loved me/
So my heart it turned cold, cause I felt so ugly
I wish she would hug me, like she can hold her drink/
Inside I'm always lonely, but my ship will never sink,
Like those who've turned to drink.
Alcohol, Alcohol, Alcoholllllll!!!
It was eighteen years, before I got to meet my mum/
Everyday I was crying tears, cause that woman was a drunk
I was in love with my mother, but she never loved her son/
I was angry at my daddy, cause this is what my daddy done
Alcohol, Alcohol, Alcoholllllll!!!
Nearly forty years of drinking, and my mummy got ill/
All the while got me thinking, what am I supposed to feel
They got her at the doctors, and the hospital for pills/
I just hope she finds peace, like I did with Hip-hop & these skills
Thanks to Alcohol, Alcohol, Alcoholllllll!!!

Wow. Liquor gets a hold on people and its a difficult thing to put down. Well written. 👍
As much as drugs are the scourge, I would say alcohol is still the biggest killer of people. It certainly robs people of life, and as you say, also leaves scars on others.
I hear you!
I'm sorry you had to go through this. So glad you found peace and your words 'your ship will never sink' are very positive indeed. All the best to you.
