[Macklemore, Ariana DeBoo - Drug Dealer lyrics]
Oooh oooh
Oooh oooh, oooh, oooh
They said it wasn't a gateway drug
My homie was takin' subs and he ain't wake up
The whole while
These billionaires stay caked-up
Paying out Congress so we take their drugs
Murderers who will never face the judge
And we dancin' to a song
About our face goin' numb
But, I seen homies turn gray
Noses drainin' blood i could've been gone
Off 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 AM
God damn, they're making a killing
Now it's getting attention cause Sara
Katey and Billy
But this shit's been going on from
Seattle out to South Philly
It just moved up out 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 Pharma's 'bout to move that work
My drug dealer was a doctor, doctor
Had the plug from Big Pharma, Pharma
He said that he would 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
He tried to kill me for a dollar, dollar
And these devils they keep on talkin' to me
They screamin', "Open the bottle
" I wanna be at peace
My hand is gripping that throttle
I'm running out of speed
Try to close my eyes but I just
Keep on sweatin' 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 heroin is more your budget
I said I'd never use a needle, but sure
Fuck it
I'm caught up, I'm on one, I'm nauseous
No options, exhausted
This is not what I started
Walkin' carcass, I lost everything I wanted
My blinds drawn
Too gone to leave this apartment
My drug dealer was a doctor, doctor
Had the plug from Big Pharma, Pharma
He said that he would 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
He tried to kill me for a dollar, dollar
More, more, more re-up, re-up
Death certificate signed the prenup
Ain't no coming back from this Percocet
Actavis, Ambien, Adderall, 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 not change
Courage to change the things I can
And the wisdom to know the difference
And the wisdom to know the difference
Oooh, oooh oooh, oooh, oooh
Oooh oooh, oooh, oooh
They said it wasn't a gateway drug
My homie was takin' subs and he ain't wake up
The whole while
These billionaires stay caked-up
Paying out Congress so we take their drugs
Murderers who will never face the judge
And we dancin' to a song
About our face goin' numb
But, I seen homies turn gray
Noses drainin' blood i could've been gone
