Amongst all the shitty meaningless music about relationships, sex and money, I was very surprised to find a song that is actually about something really matters... Pretty impressed that it was a mainstream artist too. The lyrics pretty much sums up my frustration with negligent GPs that prescribe medications without a second thought for their patients (including my mother's GP, who assured her that taking aspirin long term will have ZERO side effects, and recently, when my very petite friend whose doctor prescribed her Duromine (legal speed) to help her 'lose weight'.. With no explanation of side effects. She almost had a car accident because it affected her concentration! A big personal 'F you' to the GPs who don't gave a stuff to their patients from me 😁) Good on ya for bringing awareness to this, Macklemore!
Lyrics: "Drug Dealer" (with Ryan Lewis) (feat. Ariana DeBoo) [Macklemore:] They said it wasn't a gateway drug My homie was takin' subs and he ain't wake up The whole while, these billionaires, stay caked up Paying out congress so we take their drugs Murderers who will never face the judge And we dancin' to a song about our face goin' numb But I seen homies turn grey, noses draining blood I could've been gone, out 30's, faded in that tub That's Prince, Michael and Whitney, that's Amy, Ledger and Pimp C That's Yams, that's DJ A.M God damn they're making a killing Now it's getting attention cause Sara, Katey and Billy But this shit's been going one from Seattle out to South Philly It just moved out about the city And spread out to the 'burbs Now it's everybody's problem, got a nation on the verge Take Activis off the market, jack the price up on the syrup But Purdue Pharma's 'bout to move that work [Ariana DeBoo:] My drug dealer was a doctor, doctor Had the plug from Big Pharma, Pharma He said that he would heal me, heal me But he only gave me problems, problems My drug dealer was a doctor, doctor Had the plug from Big Pharma, Pharma I think he trying to kill me, kill me He tried to kill me for a dollar, dollar [Macklemore:] And these devil's they keep on talkin' to me They screamin' "open the bottle," I wanna be at peace My hand is gripping that throttle, I'm running out of speed Tryin' close my eyes but I keep sweatin' through these sheets, through these sheets Four horseman, they won't let me forget I wanna forge a prescription, cause doctor I need some more of it When morphine and heroin is more of your a budget I said I'd never use a needle, but sure, fuck it I'm caught up, I'm on one, I'm nauseous No options, exhausted This is not what I started Walkin' carcass, I lost everything I wanted My blinds drawn, too gone to leave this apartment [Ariana DeBoo:] My drug dealer was a doctor, doctor Had the plug from Big Pharma, Pharma He said that he would heal me, heal me But he only gave me problems, problems My drug dealer was a doctor, doctor Had the plug from Big Pharma, Pharma I think he trying to kill me, kill me He tried to kill me for a dollar, dollar [Macklemore:] More, more, more Re-up, re-up Death certificate signed the prenup Ain't no coming back from this percocet Actavis, ambien, adderral, xanax binge Best friends with the thing that's killing me Enemies with my best friend, there's no healing me Refilling these, refilling these They say it's death, death Institutions and DOC's So God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change Courage to change the things I can And the wisdom to know the difference And the wisdom to know the difference
