""Stressed out, so I tend to take meds (Take meds)/The Devil told me, 'Good show, break a leg' (Break a leg)/All these pain killers, like I got a pair of broken legs (Broken legs)/All these Percs I pop, you probably thought I was planning to break my neck,"

""I was lucky, my escape was narrow and due (Yeah)/Now think I take it for granted/That I'm still here, synthetic heroin you (What?)/Tried to kill me, then you (Yeah)/Murdered Jarad, didn't you? (B***h)/Piece of s**t, thanks to you/Now we lost Gangsta Boo/And Pimp C, Prince, and Michael (Yeah)/Mixin' NyQuil (Uh) with prescription Vic's (Yeah)/Addiction's like a f***kin' vicious cycle (Yeah)/Juice, we will forever miss you,"
