Drug Dealer
Macklemore - Drug Dealer
They said it wasn't a gateway drug
My homie was takin' subs and he ain't wake 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 grey
God damn they're making a killing
Now it's getting attention cause Sara
But this shit'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
My drug dealer was a doctor
Had the plug from Big Pharma
He said that he would heal me
But he only gave me problems
My drug dealer was a doctor
Had the plug from Big Pharma
I think he trying to kill me
He tried to kill me for a dollar
And these devil's they keep on talkin' to me
They screamin' "open the bottle
My hand is gripping that throttle
Tryin' close my eyes but I keep sweatin' through these sheets
I wanna forge a prescription
cause doctor I need some more of it
When morphine and heroine is more of your budget
I said I'd never use a needle
This is not what I started
I lost everything I wanted
too gone to leave this apartment
My drug dealer was a doctor
Had the plug from Big Pharma
He said that he would heal me
But he only gave me problems
My drug dealer was a doctor
Had the plug from Big Pharma
I think he trying to kill me
He tried to kill me for a dollar
Death certificate signed the prenup
Ain't no coming back from this percocet
Best friends with the thing that's killing me
Enemies with my best friend
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
