I just popped a Perc' 30, now I'm feelin' painless
I don't got no trust for relations (XanGang)

Perc' 30 so I can feel painless

[Chorus]
I just popped a Perc' 30, now I'm feelin' painless
I don't got no trust for relations (XanGang)
Packrunner servin' all my patients
I just popped a Perc' 30, now I'm feelin' painless
I'm feelin' painless, I'm feelin' painless
Perc' 30 so I can feel painless
I'm feelin' painless
