Ras Kass - Opioid Crisis lyrics
[Ras Kass - Opioid Crisis lyrics]
You don't own no airplanes nigga
No submarines how the fuck it's our fault?
At Max's eating a philly
(Uh) , alt-right tried to kill me (Uh)
Dropped my cheesesteak and grabbed
The MAC semi scuffling, shot a Republican in
The face with it
Only the second time I've seen
An eagle kill a patriot (Woo)
That's a Brady fumble, let me slay you double
Cath a L, then another
Let the ladies love you
Rappers lazy paying baby dues
To vaguely mumble i'm from a stronger breed
Victims of the 80's struggle
Crack cocaine decimated poor neighborhoods
Politicians attacked us for
The "greater good"
The War on Crime, got more people in prison
Than living in Wyoming and
South Dakota combined
Society blind, or willfully ignorant
Ain't no moral high ground when
You're killing your citizens
Yo (Uh) , the hood got locked for rock
The 'burbs sniffed powder and got a
Slap on the wrist from cops
Stop, frisk, stand your ground
Had bitches boostin' in Beverly Hills
When Whitney Houston drowned
Vilified, then Tom Petty died
They ain't like that
The irony is, they don't like facts
Black drug addiction
We get jailed for our vices
They cry for treatment when it
Happened to the white kids
War on drugs or opioid crisis?
Big Pharm' kills more Americans than ISIS
(Uh)
The FDA is El Chapo, they the drug dealers
Drug stores on very block yo
Walmart, Rite Aid, Walgreens, Duane Reade
Heroin in your mainstream
Then The Purple One OD'd
I went from the revolution to
Sitting in the nosebleeds
Youngsters try to insinuate you're washed
Up they call you OG nope, I'm just the homie
You in the trap, I'm the best lil' nigga
Wash your dirty fucking mouth out with zest
Lil' nigga and Lil' Peep got depressed
Deceased his flesh
So how is it legal to sell a
Drug with a million side effects
Including death 'Cause the same condition it
Supposed to treat
No cures, they sell temporary pain relief
Big pharmaceutical companies supply
The 'burbs 'Cause all the pills in West
Virginia made by Heisenberg
Republicans blame Mexico, visit
New Hampshire, where the Mexicans?
I asked Alexis, them
"How do I make heroin out
Of Dexatrim and Fentanyl?"
Y'all catchin' Zs when I spit at y'all
I should be in Forbes for all the illest bars
Time to join the racket, no tennis ball
It ain't the Mexican cartel
Ain't the black folk
'Cause the real plug wearing white lab coats
Black drug addiction
We get jailed for our vices
They cry for treatment when it
Happened to the white kids
War on drugs or opioid crisis?
Big Pharm' kills more Americans than ISIS
(Uh)
The FDA is El Chapo, they the drug dealers
Drug stores one very block yo
Walmart, Rite Aid, Walgreens, Duane Reade
Heroin in your mainstream
Critically acclaimed, commercially banned
No American fans but skills still matter to
My niggas in France, so
Never the hater, you just cannot rap
I'll kill half y'all niggas off
Like a Thanos snap
White chalk, even on my off night
I create more yellow tape than Off White
My vow to excellence made life lonelier
'Cause the strip clubs is crowded
With the phony ones not holier than thou
(Thou) , but I was born in California
City of the Angels where they
Bleach us with ammonia
Claiming it's vitiligo, I can't abide
Put a drink on my tab then bounced
Irish goodbye
Hate to admit that I cried, my heart died
Right and wrong, no shades of gray, apartheid
Silly to think a gypsy would uplift me
Shouldn't expect empathy when they
Soul is empty
Depressed, lost my will to live
Like I'm defeated, get me the fuck outta here
Probably oughtta let God take
The steering wheel
Or sleep the next 10 years in the pen
Thanks to Seroquel
Excuse me while I disappear
Few before him and even fewer after
So eloquently voice the social concerns
I'm spitting bars my G, 'til I RIP
Ask No ID, I'ma shine like the star I be
Not lookin' down on the ground in Hollywood
I be in the hood
Stronger despite what this industry did to me
10 years of litigation, that liar Wendy G
Sometimes the insult is the favor
Thank you my frenemies i'm lovin' it
We need more women up in the government
Support the #MeToo movement
But I'm discoverin'
Acknowledges, self-admitted misogynist
The problem is with feminism it's corrupted
Mister-sogynist
Asia Argento claimed her career was destroyed
Then turned around & diddled a young boy
Paid 400 Grand in hush money
That's slush fund honey
Cost 18 years just to bust one dummy
Mutual when they laid down
Unilateral when she pregnant
Then he inherit it, got to take care of it
Listen
Find a sperm bank, trapping cats is so wrong
One said it helped her beat
Her dependency on Oxycodone
I know one in mourning trying
To replace her own Mom
Traded a life for a life
Can't make a strong bond
Thin line between a flirt and assault
Equal protection and sex
There's a flaw in the law
'Cause you should go to prison if
You rape her in her sleep
And it's not consensual
So what if she do the same to me?
And claim it's meant to be
He wanna abort, she disappear for a year
Then she take him to court
You stole his bloodline
Without his permission
So he resent the fact that they living
So no one's forgiven, decisions, decisions
Got off the Autobahn, ausfahrt
German for "exit" sounds like ass fart
When air comes out from where you shit
Heavy, brain food like Doc Sebi
They crucify the prophets 'cause
The information's deadly
So I put it in a medley
'til the resurrection's ready
Y'all was crashing Grammy parties
I was writin' my magnum opus
Not the dopest, you the most opioid addicted
Fans focused on the hocus pocus
KFC drive-thru, Big Bird, you been served
You got famous lettin' Devil's
Call you the n-word (Nigga)
I'm ruthless, drain all the joy out of Lucas
'Til he madder Lucas, or a sadder Lucas
I'm George Lucas, Star Wars with the bars
Lucas
Poison gas shootin' like Vladimir Putin
First album ended with me in
The booth getting smoked
This time I want to leave you with hope
Shalom
