“Drug Dealer”
(with Ryan Lewis)
(feat. Ariana DeBoo)

[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
Paying 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 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
God damn they’re making a killing
Now it’s getting attention cause Sara, Katey and Billy
But this sh*t’s been going one from Seattle out to South Philly
It just moved out about the city
And 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 farmer’s ’bout to move that work[Ariana DeBoo:]
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 trying to kill me, kill me
He tried to kill me for a dollar, dollar[Macklemore:]
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 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 he**ine is more viewer budget
I said I’d never use a needle, but sure, f**k it
I’m caught up, I’m on one, I’m nauseous
No options, exhausted
This is not what I started
Walkin’ carcass, I lost everything I wanted
My blinds drawn, too gone to leave this apartment[Ariana DeBoo:]
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 trying to kill me, kill me
He tried to kill me for a dollar, dollar[Macklemore:]
More, more, more
Re-up, re-upDeath 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

Debbie Harry Admits Past Drug Addiction

Debbie Harry is an icon in rock and roll, and she’s still creating: her next album, Panic of Girls, is scheduled for release at the end of May. But fame took its toll when Harry was younger. She confessed in a recent interview to living with an active drug addiction for more than two years in her early fame.

Fame – And All the Problems that Go With It

And it’s fame that likely had a lot to do with the development of her drug addiction, according to Harry. The Heart of Glass caused quite a stir when it was released during the 1980s. It was then that Harry says she tried every illicit drug that came her way, including he**in, until she ultimately developed an addiction as a result.

To make matters worse, despite the fame, Harry was having problems in her career. Her record company decided it was time to terminate the band’s contract and her manager, who could have handled the problem, suddenly quit. On top of all this, the IRS decided it was time to audit her in a big way and seize her money and property in the process. Still barely more than a kid, Harry was overwhelmed and sank further into addiction and into depression that was only worsened by continued drug abuse.

Debbie Goes to Drug Rehab

She and her then-boyfriend, guitarists Chris Stein, opted to get things under control and entered drug rehab together soon after. It was here that she found the help she needed to get back on track. Drug addiction did nothing but worsen the issues affecting the rest of her life, and without it, she soon began to put things back together. She has a lifetime worth of albums and tours that had nothing to do with drug addiction and has become one of the best known names in rock and roll history.

Recognizing When Drug Addiction is not Helping

It’s not always easy to be in the midst of drug addiction and realize that it’s only making the problems in your life even greater. It can often feel like the only oasis in a desert of hopelessness when you have identifiable outside issues plus depression plaguing you. Feeling ill and being in constant need of more drugs is stressful – it’s more than a full-time job. Realizing that fact and seeking the necessary help to change things is huge, an accomplishment unto itself.
