LOLzerz Never seen this before.......
Slow Down - Brand Nubian
I'm going to try to steer away from the crack theme now....
There's that huge (and not as good as it should've been) posse cut "Close the Crackhouse." "Streets of New York" could fit the bill as well. "Drug dealers drive around looking hard/Knowing they're sending their brothers and sisters to the graveyard" =
and I've always felt that "My Mind is Playing Ticks on Me" was a good depiction of someone that's paranoid and on drugs. Am I wrong?

yes
What about tracks that talk about a balance in life. For instance, I'm sure there isn't any tracks about how smoking weed is bad, but maybe smoke week, okay, but also be responsible and a productive member in society...
A productive weed smokin citizen song?
