(Intro)
America has a problem
(Hook)
I’m takin pain pills, I’m takin pain pills (why?)
Wish a nigga take away the pain
Smoke a lot of kush, I smoke a lot of kush (for what?)
Thinkin I can blow away some pain
I’m sippin codeine, I’m sippin codeine (why you sippin?)
Wishin I could slow down fame
(How you manage this lifestyle?)
I’m tryin to substitute everything
I’m tryin to substitute everything
I’m tryin to substitute everything
I’m tryin to substitute everything
I’m tryin to substitute everything
(Verse)
Today I took a Xanax, I started missin family
Always say I’m just money, I know they feel abandoned
I’m workin til I pass out and now I understand it
From where I come from every moment we tryna take advantage
I got my prescription prescribing then hit the pharmacy
I got some hoes that been diving on my mind,
Bitch as we roll up the kush and let’s get high and take you to a god
See I just wanna be in my zone
Well Nick and Bob is here
(Hook)
I’m takin pain pills, I’m takin pain pills (why?)
Wish a nigga take away the pain
Smoke a lot of kush, I smoke a lot of kush (for what?)
Thinkin I can blow away some pain
I’m sippin codeine, I’m sippin codeine (why you sippin?)
Wishin I could slow down fame
(How you manage this lifestyle?)
I’m tryin to substitute everything
I’m tryin to substitute everything
I’m tryin to substitute everything
I’m tryin to substitute everything
I’m tryin to substitute everything
(Verse)
I mean these hard times made me like this
I don’t leave the studio, I like making hits
There’s broken relationships that I can’t fix
I got band, as I kicked up I can’t kick
I need my herb, I need my son
Now I’m free like a bird
I make a lot of millz, I had to pop a pill
Just to get a thrill
Yall know how it feel
(Hook)
I’m takin pain pills, I’m takin pain pills (why?)
Wish a nigga take away the pain
Smoke a lot of kush, I smoke a lot of kush (for what?)
Thinkin I can blow away some pain
I’m sippin codeine, I’m sippin codeine (why you sippin?)
Wishin I could slow down fame
(How you manage this lifestyle?)
I’m tryin to substitute everything
I’m tryin to substitute everything
I’m tryin to substitute everything
I’m tryin to substitute everything
I’m tryin to substitute everything
(Verse)
This bitch filed for child-support like I don’t take care of my child
She want them stacks I got on me, she wanna see me down
I had to take a molly, it lift me off the ground
I watch my dreams come true, I wish my granddad see me now (rest in peace)
I’m tryin to keep everybody happy, bring in the scripts
Everything come and collect, the women smoking on sip
Maybe this is the sound of faith, maybe this a taste
I spend a lot of money so I don’t do depressed
(Hook)
I’m takin pain pills, I’m takin pain pills (why?)
Wish a nigga take away the pain
Smoke a lot of kush, I smoke a lot of kush (for what?)
Thinkin I can blow away some pain
I’m sippin codeine, I’m sippin codeine (why you sippin?)
Wishin I could slow down fame
(How you manage this lifestyle?)
I’m tryin to substitute everything
I’m tryin to substitute everything
I’m tryin to substitute everything
I’m tryin to substitute everything
I’m tryin to substitute everything
(Outro)
The drug dealers need to know
That we want them out of our schools, neighborhoods and our lives
And the only way to do that is to take the customers away from the product
Say no to drugs
And say yes to life
‘Course your local drug pusher – they tell you a little something different about these drugs
And who you believe is up to you
Goddamn it. if you do it as inclined at least it won’t be out of ignorance, just stupidity
