Okay.
Okay.
Well, we live tonight.
Say it.
Now, I seen pain.
I thought the losses.
[Ab] I said at funerals, in coffins.
[Eb] 21 years old, an angel was lost [Db] here.
Wings clipped by the grip of 80 milligram [Eb] sniffs
of oxycontin every day through [Ab] the nostrils.
Never went away, never does [Eb] it stop there.
Death aligning two away, and a couple tall cans.
Cause you never know when God is gonna call man precious.
But we all [Ab] share.
I said peace at 530 the next time that [Eb] I saw him
was in the hands of the pallbearer.
What [Db] if I would've never gone and dropped him off there?
Blaming [Eb] myself and hysterics, screaming it's not fair.
21 [Ab] years old, with the book of rhymes
he was gonna recite to the [Eb] globe.
Only thing that numbed the pain
besides that shit in his nose.
He was gonna quit tomorrow.
We're all gonna quit [E] tomorrow.
This get us through [Em] the weekend.
And then Monday follows, then it's Wednesday,
then it's fuck it, I'm already feeling hollow.
Might as well go crack a ceiling.
Might as well go chug a bottle.
Might as well go pop [E] a pill and go in bed.
Take that [Cm] problem and escape this [Eb] world.
Vacate this [Ab] world cause I hate myself.
No plans gonna cure this [Gm] pain.
[Fm] [Eb]
Doctor please, [Ab] give me a dose [Gm] of the American dream.
[Fm] [Eb] Put down the pen and look in [Ab] my eyes.
[Gm]
We're in the waiting [Fm] room and something [Cm] ain't right.
[Ab] [Eb]
All this is on you, we're over prescribed.
For me and Kev, [Ab] we end up in jail.
Institutions are dead.
[Eb] With our lives, we play Russian roulette.
It's time to find a life where we can be content.
As for us, we just trying to minimize
[Ab] the fear of being alive.
[Eb] And now my little brother is in the sky.
From a pill that a doctor prescribed.
That a drug billion, billion dollar industry supplied.
That [Ab] the cops never go in profile at night.
[Eb] The orange plastic with the white top.
They sell to you.
Has us looking for the answers in that instead of you.
Quick fix, whatever dude.
We just go neglect [Ab] the truth because a doctor
with a license played God and said [E] it's cool.
Played God and said [Cm] it's cool.
But me, I don't blame Kev or his mind's free.
Based on my pregnancy with him.
I blame the pharmacy companies and country that [Ab] spends
trillions fighting a war.
They supplying themselves, politicians and business to jail.
Public defenders and judges who fail.
Look at Kevin, look at Kevin.
Now he's wrapped in [Cm] plastic.
First dealer runs his mom's medicine cabinet.
Got anxiety, better go and give him a Xanax.
Focus, give him Adderall.
Sleep, give him Ambien.
Till he's walking around the city looking like a mannequin.
Ups and downs, shifted by prescriptions you're handing him.
So America, is it really worth it?
I'm asking you.
Darling, darling, [Fm] darling, darling, [Cm] darling.
Doctor, [Eb] please.
[Dm] Give me a dose of [Cm] the American dream.
[Ab] [Eb] Put down the pen and look in my [Fm] eyes.
[Cm]
We're in the waiting [Ab] room.
And something ain't [Eb] right.
[Dm] [Cm]
Oh, this is all [Ab] you.
We're over [Eb] prescribed.
