lyrics

Verse 1
He's an escape artist
Call him Mr. Houdini
When he's drunk driving,
call him Aston Martini

He's gotten every wish
He's ever wanted must have genie
Bottles piled up in the front seat
Of his Lamborghini

He owns condos and boats
Sails Cali to Fiji
Cover of Forbes magazine
Check if you don't believe me

Some may say it might seem
Like he has everything
Fancy cars, pretty "broads",
And plenty diamond rings

Maybe true, but
He also has the DNA
Of an addict stuck in traffic
With needles in his veins

Think that's that tragic
Well you haven't heard shit let me explain
Caught some static on a traffic stop
On independence day

As soon as he saw the flashes
Pulled over out the car he dashes
Gun in hand ran through the grasses
Hopped the fence went to ditch his stashes

That's when the cop went to grab him
Switch blade opened
To the chest he stabbed him
Switched both lives around, he panicked
One life gone, one on death row standing

CHORUS
Threw it all away
Threw it all away
Threw it all away
That piece of sunshine
That piece of sunshine
That piece of sunshine
That piece of sunshine

Verse 2
She was a great artist
Valedictorian
Head cheerleader of a squad,
And class president

Graduated with a 4.5
Focused on scholastics
She earned a full ride to college
With her scholarships

Her life changed suddenly
She left for school dad died of cancer
No life insurance so to make money
She became a dancer

But she was too shy to stand there
And take off her top
So the door guy says
"Here's a pill that you can pop"

Next thing you know
She's gripping the pole out of control
Five years later no one will date her
Known as a junkie hoe

She's walking through the back room
Into the bathroom to snort some blow
And then just like a vacuum
Sucked up the dollar bill through her nose

She feels the reaction her body's having
To her toes
The crowd is clapping her heart is racing
Right through her clothes

Her systems crashing, her body's collapsing
On the floor in the front row
And to think she threw away
Every opportunity she had
To take the right road

CHORUS
Threw it all away
Threw it all away
Threw it all away
That piece of sunshine
That piece of sunshine
That piece of sunshine
That piece of sunshine
