"I Feel Like Dying" lil wayne


Only once the drugs are done, that I feel like dying... I feel like dying
Only once the drugs are done, that I feel like dying... I feel like dying
Only once the drugs are done, that I feel like dying... I feel like dying
(I feel like, I feel like, I feel like...)

Yeah, hello...
Get lifted...
Yeah, I get lifted
Yeah, yeah, so get lifted... yup! Haha...

I am sittin' on the clouds, I got smoke comin' from my seat
I can play basketball with the moon, I got the whole world at my feet
Playin' touch football, on marijuana street
Or, in a marijuana field, you are so beneath my cleets
Get high, so high, that I... feel... like... lying
Down in a cigar, roll me up and smoke me 'cause...
(I feel like dying)

Only once the drugs are done, that I feel like dying... I feel like dying
Only once the drugs are done, that I feel like dying... I feel like dying
(I feel like, I feel like, I feel like...)

Swimming laps around a bottle of Louis the Thirteenth
Jumpin' off of a mountain into a sea of Codeine
I'm at the top of the top, but... still I climb
And if I should ever fall, the ground would then turn to wine
Pop, pop, I feel like flying, then I feel like frying, then...
(I feel like dying)

Only once the drugs are done, that I feel like dying... I feel like dying
Only once the drugs are done, that I feel like dying... I feel like dying
(I feel like, I feel like, I feel like...)

I can mingle with the stars, and throw a party on Mars
I am a prisoner, locked up behind Xanax bars
I have just boarded a plane, without a pilot
And violets are blue, roses are red
Daisies are yellow, the flowers are dead
Wish I can give you this feeling... I feel like buying
And if my dealer don't have no more, then...
(I feel like dying)

Only once the drugs are done, that I feel like dying... I feel like dying
Only once the drugs are done, that I feel like dying... I feel like dying 
In "i feel like dying" by Lil Wayne the use of metaphors and personification are a huge factor in the way hes addicted to drugs.  he starts by reflecting on how high he actually is, how intoxicated on marijuana he is. And uses many metaphors to describe it and then proceeds by saying he wants to "lay" down in a cigar" this could also be an addiction and by saying lay down he could be saying he is not high anymore meaning not intoxicated anymore.  He says something to the effect of i want to be smoked and killed, this could be almost completely because he isn't high anymore, saying he is addicted.  Then in the next verse he continues by saying he is swimming around what i assume to be alcohol and he jumps into "a sea of codeine" a pill, and says he is above the mountain and still climbing as if he gets higher and higher and never stops,  and if he were to not be high anymore, he drinks wine whine and could from this actually hit a low point and once again says he wants to die.  The last verse truly demonstrates his addiction, as he says "I am a prisoner, locked up behind Xanax bars," this says that he feels trapped by Xanax again another drug, and he cant get free of the bars as a result.  The last line is the best example, as he says that if his dealer doesn't have any more of what he wants then he wants to die, which is a thing that happens in addiction, longing for drugs and being upset not having them, and that's how Lil Wayne feels, lost, not the same, like dieing. This song is a great example of an addiction although his addiction is very much spread to different drugs rather than just one.
