(Intro)
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh, oooh, oooh
(Verse 1 – Macklemore)
They said it wasn’t a gateway drug
My homie was taking subs and he ain’t wake up
The whole while, these billionaires, they kicked up
Paying out congress so we take their drugs
Murderers who will never face the judge
And we dancing to a song about our face going numb
But I seen homies turn grey, noses draining blood
I could’ve been gone, out 30’s, faded in that tub
That’s Prince, Michael and Whitney, that’s Amy, Ledger and Pimp C
That’s Yams, that’s DJ A.M
God damn they’re making a killing
Now it’s getting attention cause Sara, Katey and Billy
But this s**t’s been going one from Seattle out to South Philly
It just moved out about the city
And spread out to the burbs
Now it’s everybody’s problem, got a nation on the verge
Take Activis off the market, jack the price up on the syrup
But Purdue farmer’s bout to move that work
(Chorus – Ariana DeBoo)
My drug dealer was a doctor, doctor
Had the plug from Big Pharma, Pharma
He said he’d heal me, heal me
But he only gave me problems, problems
My drug dealer was a doctor, doctor
Had the plug from Big Pharma, Pharma
I think he trying kill me, kill me
He tried to kill me for a dollar, for a dollar
(Verse 2 – Macklemore)
And these devil’s they keep on talking to me
They screaming open the bottle, I wanna be at peace
My hand is gripping that throttle, I’m running out of speed
Trying close my eyes but I keep sweating through these sheets, through these sheets
Four horseman, they won’t let me forget
I wanna forge a prescription, cause doctor I need some more of it
When Morphine and heroine is more viewer budget
I said I’d never use a needle, but sure, f**k it
I’m caught up, I’m on one, I’m nauseous
No options, exhausted
This is not what I started
Walking carcass, I lost everything I wanted
My blinds drawn, too far gone to leave this apartment
(Chorus – Ariana DeBoo)
My drug dealer was a doctor, doctor
Had the plug from Big Pharma, Pharma
He said he’d heal me, heal me
But he only gave me problems, problems
My drug dealer was a doctor, doctor
Had the plug from Big Pharma, Pharma
I think he trying to kill me, kill me
Tried to kill me for a dollar, for a dollar
(Bridge – Macklemore)
More, more, more
Re-up, re-up
(Verse 3 – Macklemore)
Death certificate signed the prenup
Ain’t no coming back from this percocet
After this ambien, adderral, xanax binge
Best friends with the thing that’s killing me
Enemies with my best friend, there’s no healing me
Refilling these, refilling these
They say it’s death, death
Institutions and DOC’s
So God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can’t change
Courage to change the things I can
And the wisdom to know the difference
And the wisdom to know the difference
(Outro)
Oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh, oooh
