Stressed out, so I tend to take meds (Take meds)
Thе Devil told me, “Good show, break a lеg” (Break a leg)
All these painkillers like I got a pair of broken legs (Broken legs)
All these Percs I pop, you’d thought I was plannin’ to break my neck
Grindin’ man, I’m hungry for this shit like I ain’t ate yet
You wish that you could have what I could have

If you ain’t my lil’ bitch, then, bitch
Them convos, you can save that
These niggas think they invincible ‘
Til they see them bullet holes in they Maybach

[Verse 2: Eminem]
You pop some ecstasy first, it gets progressively worse
Try your best to reverse unsuccessfully flirtin’ with certain death and revertin’ to your promethazine urge
The fuckin’ devil he lurks, lose your best friend he smirks
Wake up and everything hurts and as you spiral downward listen
I know just how it is when
You start slow then before you notice it now you’re mixin’
Oxy’s without prescription
Cough medicine, valium with ’em but ain’t that how addiction
Sort of works they call it lean
’cause you gravitate and lean towards the perp
The blessing or the curse of fame
’cause now you can afford the syrup
Percocet and Percoden but that ain’t what you meant
When you said that you’re in it for the perks
Develop a habit out of that
Need a Xanax now to rap
So you pop it before you record a verse
Your buzz wear down
Like a rabbit out a hat
Makes you wanna pull your hair out
Fentanyl, Oxy
Demerol, them are all what possibly got Shock G, Roxy
Codone and lean is probably what got Lil Peep and ODB
So many who OD be way too young to go see me
I was lucky my escape was narrow and do
Not think I take it for granted that
I’m still here synthetic heroin you
Tried to kill me then you murdered Jarad didn’t you
Piece of shit thanks to you now
We lost Gangsta Boo and Pimp C, Prince and Michael mixing Nyquil
With prescription Vic’s addiction’s like a fucking vicious cycle
Juice we will forever miss you
To the younger generation I ain’t lecturing you
But man just be careful when you
