Drug Dealer Lyrics - 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, they kicked up 

Payin' 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've 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 

Goddamn they're making a killing 

Now it's getting attention 'cause Sara, Katey and Billy 

But this shit's been going on from Seattle out to South Philly 

It just moved out about the city 

And it 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 

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 tryin' kill me, kill me 

He tried to kill me for a dollar, a dollar 

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 on 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 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've started 

Walkin' carcass, I lost everything I wanted 

My blinds drawn, too far gone to leave this apartment 

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 tryin' to kill me, kill me 

Tried to kill me for a dollar, a dollar 

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
