| OK, OK
|
| Yeah
|
| We live tonight
|
| Check it, now
|
| I seen pain, I felt the losses
|
| Attended funerals and seen coffins
|
| 21 years old, an angel was lost here
|
| Wings clipped by the grip of 80 milligram sniffs of oxycontin
|
| Everyday through the nostrils
|
| Never went away, never does it stop there
|
| Death a line or two away and a couple tall cans
|
| Cause you never know when God is gonna call, man
|
| Precious, what we all share
|
| I said peace at 5:30, the next time that I saw him was in the hands of the
|
| pallbearer
|
| What if I would’ve never gone and dropped him off there?
|
| Blaming myself, in hysterics, screaming «It's not fair!»
|
| 21 years old with a book of rhymes he was gonna recite to the globe
|
| Only thing to numb the pain besides that shit in his nose
|
| He was gonna quit tomorrow, we’re all gonna quit tomorrow
|
| Just get us through the weekend, and then Monday follows
|
| Then it’s Wednesday, then it’s «fuck it, I’m already feeling hollow»
|
| Might as well go crack a seal and might as well go chug a bottle
|
| Might as well go pop a pill and go and band-aid that problem
|
| And escape this world, vacate this world
|
| Cause I hate myself
|
| No praying’s gonna cure this pain
|
| Doctor, please, give me a dose of the American Dream
|
| Put down the pen and look in my eyes
|
| We’re in the waiting room and something ain’t right
|
| All this is on you, we’re over-prescribed
|
| For me and Kev
|
| He went up in jail, institutions are dead
|
| And with our lives, we play Russian Roulette
|
| And try to find a life where we could be content
|
| Cause for us, we’re just trying to minimize the fear of being alive
|
| And now my little brother is in the sky
|
| From a pill that a doctor prescribed
|
| That a drug-dealing billion dollar industry supplied
|
| And the cops never go and profile at night
|
| Yeah, the, the, the orange plastic with the white top they sell to you
|
| Has us looking for the answers and that instead of you
|
| Quick fix, whatever’ll do
|
| We just gonna neglect the truth
|
| Because a doctor with a license played God and said it’s cool
|
| Played God and said it’s cool
|
| But me? |
| I don’t blame Kev or his mom freebasing while pregnant with him
|
| I blame the pharmacy companies
|
| And country that spends trillions fighting a war they supplying themselves
|
| Politicians and business and jail
|
| Public defenders and judges who fail
|
| Look at Kevin, look at Kevin
|
| Now he’s wrapped in plastic
|
| First dealer was his mom’s medicine cabinet
|
| Got anxiety, better go and give him a Xanax
|
| Focus, give him Adderall, sleep, give him Ambien
|
| 'Til he’s walking 'round the city looking like a mannequin
|
| Ups and downs, shooting up prescriptions you’re handing him
|
| So America, is it really worth it? |
| I’m asking you
|
| Doctor, please, give me a dose of the American Dream
|
| Put down the pen and look in my eyes
|
| We’re in the waiting room and something ain’t right
|
| All this is on you, we’re over-prescribed
|
| Doctor, your medicine and your methods
|
| Can’t cure my disease without killing me
|
| You’re killing me, you’re killing me
|
| You’re killing me, you’re killing me
|
| Doctor, your medicine and your methods
|
| Can’t cure my disease without killing me
|
| You’re killing me, you’re killing me
|
| You’re killing me, you’re killing me |
