Kevin (Feat. Leon Bridges) - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
ok ok yeah
we live tonight
check it now
i seen pain i felt the losses
attended funerals and seen coffins
21 years old an angel was lost here
wings clipped by the grip
of 80 milligram
sniffs of oxycontin
everyday through the nostrils
never went away
never does it stop there
death a line or two away
and a couple tall cans
cause you never know
when god is gonna call man
precious what we all share
i said peace at 5 30
the next time that i saw him
was in the hands of the pallbearer
what if i would've never gone
and dropped him off there
blaming myself in hysterics
screaming it's not fair
21years old with a book of rhymes
he was gonna recite to the globe
only thing to numb the pain besides
that shit in his nose
he was gonna quit tomorrow
we're all gonna quit tomoroow
just get us through 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 seal
and might as well go chug a bottle
might as well go pop a pill
and band aid that problem
and escape this world vacate
this world
cause i hate myself
no praying gonna cure this pain
doctor please give me
a dose of the american dream
put down the pen
and look in my eyes
we're in the waiting room
and something ain't right

all this is on you
we're overprescribed
for me and kev
he went up in jail
institutions are dead
and with our lives we play
russian roulette
and try to find a life where
we could be content
cause for us we're just trying to
minimize the fear of being alive
and now my little brother
is in the sky
from a pill that a docotr prescribed
that a drug dealing billion dollar
industry suoolied
and the cops never go
and profile at night
yeah the the the orange plastic
with the white top they sell to you
has us looking for the answers
and that insted of you
quick fix whatever'll do
we just gonna neglect the truth
because a doctor
with a license played
god and said it's cool
played god and said it's cool
but me i don't blame kev or his
mom freebasing
while pregnant with him
i blame the pharmacy companies
and country that spends trillions
fighting the war
they supplying themselves
politicans and business and jail
public defenders
and judges who fail
look at kevin look at kevin
now he's wrapped in plastic
first dealer was his
mom's medicine cabinet
got anxiety better go
and give him a xanax
focus give him adderall sleep
give him ambien
til he's walking round the city
looking like a mannequin
ups and downs shooting up
prescriptions you're handing him
so america is it really worth it
i'm asking you
doctor please give me
a dose of the american dream
put down the pen
and look in my eyes
we're in the waiting room
and something ain't right

all this is on you
we're overprescribed

doctor your medicine
and your methods
can't cure my dissease
without killing me
you're killing me you're killing me
you're killing me you're killing me
doctor your medicine
and your methods
cant' cure my dissease
without killing me
you're killing me you're killing me
you're killing me you're killing me
