Drug Dealer
[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 shit'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 heroine is more viewer budget
I said I'd never use a needle, but sure, f*** 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-up
Death 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
Significado de la letra
La canción 'Drug Dealer' de Macklemore, en colaboración con Ariana DeBoo, aborda la problemática del abuso de sustancias y la influencia de la industria farmacéutica en la crisis de adicción en la sociedad actual. Macklemore reflexiona sobre cómo las drogas recetadas por médicos, muchas veces provenientes de grandes corporaciones farmacéuticas, pueden llevar a la adicción y a situaciones extremas, como la muerte de personas famosas como Prince, Michael Jackson y Whitney Houston.
La letra destaca la hipocresía de los magnates que promueven el consumo de drogas mientras financian a políticos para que no sean responsabilizados. También se menciona la lucha interna de Macklemore por controlar su adicción, describiendo la sensación de perder el control y la vida que una vez deseaba.
Ariana DeBoo canta sobre su experiencia personal con un médico convertido en su 'dealer', entregándole recetas que en lugar de sanarla, le causaron más problemas. La canción resalta la conexión entre las drogas recetadas y las adicciones devastadoras que pueden llevar a la autodestrucción.
En un tono introspectivo y crudo, la canción se sumerge en las diversas formas en las que las drogas, tanto legales como ilegales, pueden manipular y destruir vidas. Macklemore y DeBoo llevan al oyente a reflexionar sobre los peligros de la adicción y la importancia de buscar ayuda para superarla, transmitiendo un mensaje de conciencia y autoaceptación en medio de la lucha contra las sustancias adictivas.
