I want my family to put the Percocets down
I used to sell them to them
I was 19, I needed money for rent
All of my friends were robbing, but I thought I was innocent

I help ruin my family
My sister upgraded to Fentanyl
I lost my auntie to the same thing
Same thing, they both can overdose
Same thing, my 14 year old sister saved my mother, when she overdosed
Same thing, I lost my ex mother-in-law to

Half of my brothers I don’t know
My dad has so many kids after me
My sister Daysha, just found out we have different fathers, after 26 years of age
My mother lied too.
My dad’s been lying
My family’s always lying
The ambulance is always on standby
The doctors can’t understand why
My mother’s heart is unstable
I talk to my mother, she knows why

She keeps telling me, if I come back home
She’ll put the pills down
