Quotable Lyrics:
Started to take advantage of these pills when he drill
I want to tell him, “Stop,” but it help him when he kill
Livin’ in the hills, but I can still feel the sadness
Comin’ from the bottom, from the bottom of the trap
Instagram epidemic got bigger than crack
Poppin’ opioids, just trying to relax
Thought I was done with it, then got the news about you
All it made me wanna do is relapse
