Generate meaning
1
Okay, okay
2
Yeah
3
And we live tonight
4
Check it, now
5
I seen pain, I felt the losses
6
Attended funerals and seen coffins
7
21 years old, an angel was lost here
8
Wings clipped by the grip of 80 milligram sniffs of Oxycontin
9
Everyday through the nostrils
10
Never went away, never does it stop there
11
Death a line or two away and a couple tall cans
12
'Cause you never know when God is gonna call, man
13
Precious, what we all share
14
I said peace at 5:30, the next time that I saw him was in the hands of the pallbearer
15
What if I would've never gone and dropped him off there?
16
Blaming myself, in hysterics, screaming "It's not fair!"
17
21 years old with a book of rhymes he was gonna recite to the globe
18
Only thing to numb the pain besides that shit in his nose
19
He was gonna quit tomorrow, we're all gonna quit tomorrow
20
Just get us through the weekend, and then Monday follows
21
Then it's Wednesday, then it's "fuck it, I'm already feeling hollow"
22
Might as well go crack a seal and might as well go chug a bottle
23
Might as well go pop a pill and go and band-aid that problem
24
And escape this world, vacate this world
25
'Cause I hate myself
26
No praying's gonna cure this pain
27
Doctor, please, give me a dose of the American Dream
28
Put down the pen and look in my eyes
29
We're in the waiting room and something ain't right
30
All this is on you, we're over prescribed
31
For me and Kev
32
You end up in jail, institutions are dead
33
And with our lives, we play Russian Roulette
34
And try to find a life where we could be content
35
'Cause for us, we're just trying to minimize the fear of being alive
36
And now my little brother is in the sky
37
From a pill that a doctor prescribed
38
That a drug deal a million dollar industry supplied
39
And the cops never go and profile at night
40
Yeah, the, the, the orange plastic with the white top they sell to you
41
Has us looking for the answers and not instead of you
42
Quick fix, whatever do
43
We just gonna neglect the truth
44
Because a doctor with a license played God and said it's cool
45
Played God and said it's cool
46
But me? I don't blame Kev or his mom freebasing while pregnant with him
47
I blame the pharmacy companies
48
And country that spends trillions fighting the war they supplying themselves
49
Politicians and business and jail
50
Public defenders and judges who fail
51
Look at Kevin, look at Kevin
52
Now he's wrapped in plastic
53
First dealer was his mom's medicine cabinet
54
Got anxiety, better go and give him a Xanax
55
Focus, give him Adderall, sleep, give him Ambien
56
'Til he's walking 'round the city looking like a mannequin
57
Ups and downs, shooting up prescriptions you're handing him
58
So America, is it really worth it? I'm asking you
59
Doctor, please, give me a dose of the American Dream
60
Put down the pen and look in my eyes
61
We're in the waiting room and something ain't right
62
All this is on you, we're over prescribed
63
Doctor, your medicine, and your methods
64
Can't cure my disease without killing me
65
You're killing me, you're killing me
66
You're killing me, you're killing me
67
Doctor, your medicine, and your methods
68
Can't cure my disease without killing me
69
You're killing me, you're killing me
70
You're killing me, you're killing me
