I got loaded...


I feel alright.
 
Songs about getting drunk/high/strung out/hungover are endless.





Perhaps the best for this thread are King Heroin above and Gil Scott-Heron's Home Is Where The Hatred Is.





Songs about eating healthy/unhealthy are fewer and farther between.
 
The complete lyrics to this song are:





"Cokes and Snickers is all I eat


Cokes and Snickers is all I need


Health sucks, Health sucks"





Pure genius...

(the shredfest at the end is where all the pain and nihilism of lonlieness really comes through)

Do I need a drink?


I'm certain I can't walk


'cause I don't have no feeling in my fingers


slur my talk





And if I died today


don't cry on my grave


'cause I'll be laughing when they drop you down


into the grave





'Cause the party's spinning


I can't stand myself up


everybody is laughing at me throwing up


I don't need a rock


I'm trying to say I'm dying


lift me up





Hey, do I need that drink?


I don't think I can walk


'cause I don't have no feeling in my fingers


slur my talk





'Cause the party's over


I can't stand myself up


everybody is laughing at me throwing up


I don't need a rock


I'm trying to say I'm dying


lift me up

Smiling and swaggering down a dead end street


Stoned-eyed and staggering


Just trying to stay on my feet


See my old connection


Shuffling over to shake my hand


Said pleased to see me back out on the street again





Here I go again


Right back where I been


Down a dead end street


Down a dead end street





Drank a toast to Jesus


He's like a long lost friend


As the lights are going dim


And the walls begin to spin


Feels like I'm sinking down


Drowning on dry land


I need some sweet angel


To come and take me by the hand

Let the night air cool you off.


Tilt your head back and try to cough.


Don't say nothing 'bout the things you never saw.


Let the night air cool you off.





I ain't living like I should.


A little rest might do me good.


Got to sinking in the place where I once stood.


Now I ain't living like I should.
 
A couple of favourites from The Workout album

Yeah, there are so many hip hop songs that talk about how getting high/drunk is something you do to deal with life.

Here's one about what enables one to eat healthier:

Here's my routine


I have retired from the late scene


When midnight rings I'm in bed listening.


I wake up at five


run by the river till the sunrise


as ev'ry body knows, I'm disciplined
