the difference between us

I can see what the weed does to you
You call me at 3am
High as a bird
You want me to be your Mary Jane
But we both know I can never give you that high
 
All your problems 'gone' from that one spliff
But I'm here listening as you rant on your rooftop
About the shit life you live
And I will never understand because  
Swimming pools in our backyards  
Are what separate us
You as a ghetto youth, me as a rich kid
 
Your marijuana dreams are what keep us separated
Because I'm straight edge  
But you don't know life without it
So I cry for you as you cry for yourself  
And I can only dream of your pain  
 
You're too far gone for me
And i dont mean to abandon you like everyone else
But i know your perfect someone is out there
She just isnt me
