Story starts off with an injury From there the rest is history A tale to be told with no victory Shrouded in silence cloaked in misery Two to three twice a day It will make the pain go away And don't worry you can trust me Just look at the wall you can see my degree And yes its easy to get off Wouldn't give it to you if you couldn't stop So here's your prescription Keep it in the kitchen Take as prescribed ill see you in a month So this began my new ritual I took his advice everyday continual And in the end the eventual Demise of my individual Mental illness in this country Is taboo now cant you see They don't want you to know the truth You live in a fantasy They break you down to make you weak Provide you with things for you to seek Casted upon you their tricks Look down upon and shun the addict Days into weeks and weeks into months and Months into years and all these tears can Not sum up all of this fear i don't know how to get out of here These pills are so expensive this shit is a life sentence So i took to the streets to get my fix But i could never dream of what was next All it took was just one hit My intuition inside was silenced They say in life you reap what you sew and My life now is what i owe Going down the hiway I'm going about ninety Look up in the mirror the cops are behind me Pull off on the exit crept into an alley Turn off my lights no one will find me And now the fuzz are zeroing in But i don't care cause I'm high on heroin And as they go by i make my escape Peel out of this place cause I've got a date I'm going to see the black tar goddess meet up with the dope man I'm so modest turmoil tinfoil watch solid turn to boil Only to the opiate am i loyal Now i graduated needles and spoons Alone by myself time goes by in this room I casted a spell and now I'm in hell Will i live to see tomorrow only time will tell Mental illness in this country Is taboo now cant you see They don't want you to know the truth You live in a fantasy They break you down to make you weak Provide you with things for you to seek Casted upon you their tricks Look down upon and shun the addict Lost your friends and your veins collapse Try to get clean but just relapse You have no money so you cook up crack All for the dope tar china and smack And this is the world we live in All around you even the hood you reside in Even your own friends but you don't know Enslaved in trap houses getting low Live kill and die for the balloon Possession of their addiction to consume The system is not about recovery All just profit and money Dealers worship the almighty dollar Junkies scream in pain as they holler Suboxone methadone harm reduction Contributes more to the drug wars destruction Problem is this will never stop One dealer goes down another opens shop Or you got to deal with crooked cops Only way to stop it is to stop it at the top But the people in power have made a promise To keep their silence to fill their pockets All you are to them is another deposit As they sit back and count their profits It will keep on going on its a cycle Another overdose another revival Another drug shipment another arrival How can it end how can it say idle In the world of drugs its all survival Police and gang life its all tribal More will die to stop it is vital America totally in denial Like a virus there is no vaccine The only way to stop this is to stay clean Talk about a pandemic this is systemic For years we have been lost in this epidemic Every single day more people die Drug overdose murder or suicide By doing nothing continue to comply You hear the people outcry but most just stand by The sad truth is there is no cure You must find within yourself how to endear But most people wont they'll disappear Or they're tied to strings by the puppeteer Guide yourself to truth to fight the evil Otherwise the next shot could be lethal Within darkness be guided by the light Fight the fear within and Listen to your insight Mental illness in this country Is taboo now cant you see They don't want you to know the truth You live in a fantasy They break you down to make you weak Provide you with things for you to seek Casted upon you their tricks Look down upon and shun the addict
