lyrics

Music is the drug yeah
Got me coming up yeah
Now they showing love yeah
I could never O.D. I could never O.D. yeah

Man this shit is crazy
No drugs up in my system but I still be spitting wavy
Just play me on the daily make that shit your fix
With sober living more is giving and I'm still legit
But I still see shit like track marks in my backyard
And the sad part is that that's not it shit that's not lit
Yeah you could never blast on it
Until you're like really that's all shit
Do you need more when you see more
Ticking time bomb that's C4
Shout out to C Force
Stick to we more beef or you need a needle
Zoned out watching reruns when you need bumps
See fentanyl is upsetting y'all
But you still buy and don't expect to fall
It can happen to anyone except for ya'll
You're just lucky and blessed that's all
Get high off the fucking music dude
Cuz that's the power of what music do
Shit light a blunt I don't a fuck
Anything other than taking bumps
Or taking pills it's lame just chill
This ain't a game this shit is real
It's not lame to feel even if it hurts
Get through that shit man put in work
Even if it's tough I'll show the love
You need the truth man I got the stuff
I got enough and I am the plug
To make music the fucking drug like

Music is the drug yeah
Got me coming up yeah
Now they showing love yeah
I could never O.D. I could never O.D. yeah
Music is the drug yeah
Got me coming up yeah
Now they showing love yeah
I could never O.D. I could never O.D. yeah

Just look at all friends that we’re burying
All because of the heroin
Chance of survival very slim
Escape reality very grim
My patience wearing thin
You ain’t facing the burdens you been carrying
Walk around looking all arrogant
I wan’t the real you no comparing it
I found my purpose and I’m sharing it
That’s why I got this music and I cherish it
In high school you were very lit
But now you looking like you perishing
You staring at me so strange
Cuz I ain’t in your bathroom doing cocaine
No shame big picture whole frame
For hometown hear me out
Lost more friends than my hands can count
It’s getting old like a hand-me-down
So I make a new track and I air it out
Watching the old folks as stare me down
While I bump it in the car and I blare it out
While I’m driving by another one of my best friends
In a stretcher getting carried out
Rock bottom pivotal I been down low feeling cynical
Powerless and pitiful feeling like I was invisible
But now I’m under the influence of dope beats
Standing on my feet right here with my mind super clear yeah

Music is the drug yeah
Got me coming up yeah
Now they showing love yeah
I could never O.D. I could never O.D. yeah
Music is the drug yeah
Got me coming up yeah
Now they showing love yeah
I could never O.D. I could never O.D. yeah
