[Chorus]
Fentanyl, opioids, Xanny bars
Glorified by puppets with microphones
Lives erased, profit made, catching souls
FDA DOA, free yourself
[Verse 1]
Rappers glorify abuse of prescription medications
Lil Peep could have still been making music I'm just saying
That marketing drives everything, the FDA approved it
Purdue made a billion building addicts and they knew it
Was deadly, as communities withered
They triggered the endorphins in our neurotransmitters
Sold us Oxycontin, said that it was not addictive
And told us we were weak if we some how couldn’t quit it
It's insane, did we not learn from Kurt Cobain?
Romanticizing tragedy, again and again
It's complicated, addiction takes people often
Like Whitney Houston, Juice WRLD and Philip Seymour Hoffman
Fentanyl killed Prince, Mac Miller and Tom Petty
As streaming profits grow steady, the labels all were ready
And I'm not blaming the artists, when managers enable
Sliding pills as a signing bonuses underneath the table
[Chorus]
Fentanyl, opioids, Xanny bars
Glorified by puppets with microphones
Lives erased, profit made, catching souls
FDA DOA, free yourself
Fentanyl, opioids, Xanny bars
Glorified by puppets with microphones
Lives erased, profit made, catching souls
FDA DOA, free yourself
[Verse 2]
When you lock lock up a generation for a year
On their phones as the algorithms feed them stress and fear
And curated content that celebrates escape
Mental health starts to fade, they've designed it this way
I've lost family to addiction, I've lost friends to suicide
As they bottle up the product, you can't bottle it inside
Pandemics, epidemics, can we last another year?
You can finally feel your feelings when your mind is free and clear
And when the planet stopped and the Dow Jones dropped
And the virus hatched and the drawbridge latched
And the schools all closed and we worked from home
They bought Roblox stock as they monitored our phones
And when they cut supply, they increased demand
And now they sell it on the streets as market trades hands
And when Narcan is late, we pay all debts
Bringing profits to the prophets cashing checks
[Chorus]
Fentanyl, opioids, Xanny bars
Glorified by puppets with microphones
Lives erased, profit made, catching souls
FDA DOA, free yourself
Fentanyl, opioids, Xanny bars
Glorified by puppets with microphones
Lives erased, profit made, catching souls
FDA DOA, free yourself
[Outro]
Rappers glorify abuse of prescription medications
Lil Peep could have still been making music I'm just saying
That marketing drives everything, the FDA approved it
Purdue made a billion building addicts and they knew it
