[00:05.49]OK, OK
[00:12.97]Yeah
[00:15.42]We live tonight
[00:19.35]Check it, now
[00:19.76]I seen pain, I felt the losses
[00:23.25]Attended funerals and seen coffins
[00:25.16]21 years old, an angel was lost here
[00:27.87]Wings clipped by the grip of 80 milligram sniffs of oxycontin
[00:31.12]Everyday through the nostrils
[00:33.70]Never went away, never does it stop there
[00:36.10]Death a line or two away and a couple tall cans
[00:38.64]Cause you never know when God is gonna call, man
[00:41.05]Precious, what we all share
[00:43.22]I said peace at 5:30, the next time that I saw him was in the hands of the pallbearer
[00:48.25]What if I would've never gone and dropped him off there?
[00:50.73]Blaming myself, in hysterics, screaming "It's not fair!"
[00:53.32]21 years old with a book of rhymes he was gonna recite to the globe
[00:56.64]Only thing to numb the pain besides that shit in his nose
[00:59.22]He was gonna quit tomorrow, we're all gonna quit tomorrow
[01:01.73]Just get us through the weekend, and then Monday follows
[01:04.15]Then it's Wednesday, then it's '**** it, I'm already feeling hollow'
[01:06.50]Might as well go crack a seal and might as well go chug a bottle
[01:09.82]Might as well go pop a pill and band-aid that problem
[01:12.29]And escape this world, vacate this world
[01:14.69]Cause I hate myself
[01:16.09]No praying's gonna cure this pain
[01:18.32]
[01:22.32]Doctor, please, give me a dose of the American Dream
[01:31.36]Put down the pen and look in my eyes
[01:38.94]We're in the waiting room and something ain't right
[01:48.98]All this is on you, we're overprescribed
[01:54.57]For me and Kev
[01:55.49]He went up in jail, institutions are dead
[01:57.44]And with our lives, we play Russian Roulette
[02:00.12]And try to find a life where we could be content
[02:02.57]Cause for us, we're just trying to minimize the fear of being alive
[02:04.94]And now my little brother is in the sky
[02:10.20]From a pill that a doctor prescribed
[02:12.84]That a drug dealing billion dollar industry supplied
[02:15.03]And the cops never go and profile at night
[02:17.24]Yeah, the, the, the orange plastic with the white top they sell to you
[02:19.98]Has us looking for the answers and that instead of you
[02:23.21]Quick fix, whatever'll do
[02:24.98]We just gonna neglect the truth
[02:26.40]Because a doctor with a license played God and said it's cool
[02:28.17]Played God and said it's cool
[02:33.50]But me? I don't blame Kev or his mom freebasing while pregnant with him
[02:37.19]I blame the pharmacy companies
[02:39.54]And country that spends trillions fighting the war they supplying themselves
[02:43.15]Politicians and business and jail
[02:45.17]Public defenders and judges who fail
[02:47.53]Look at Kevin, look at Kevin
[02:49.74]Now he's wrapped in plastic
[02:51.08]First dealer was his mom's medicine cabinet
[02:53.26]Got anxiety, better go and give him a Xanax
[02:55.78]Focus, give him Adderall, sleep, give him Ambien
[02:58.53]'Til he's walking 'round the city looking like a mannequin
[03:00.94]Ups and downs, shooting up prescriptions you're handing him
[03:03.21]So America, is it really worth it? I'm asking you
[03:12.93]Doctor, please, give me a dose of the American Dream
[03:22.01]Put down the pen and look in my eyes
[03:29.05]We're in the waiting room and something ain't right
[03:40.07]All this is on you, we're overprescribed
[03:54.77]Doctor, your medicine and your methods
[03:59.66]Can't cure my disease without killing me
[04:05.68]You're killing me, you're killing me
[04:09.81]You're killing me, you're killing me
[04:14.89]Doctor, your medicine and your methods
[04:19.13]Can't cure my disease without killing me
[04:25.32]You're killing me, you're killing me
[04:29.75]You're killing me, you're killing me
[04:34.55]
