[Verse 1: Rob Jay]
He's killing himself
He's killing his health
He's stressed and depressed
But when he pops that pill, he's back to feeling himself
Like he has a clean bill of health
Besides his dealer this addiction is known by no one else
But it's growing alongside his wealth
The richer he gets the more addicted he gets
The root of his problem is deep
A trial attorney driven by cases to beat
A young lawyer out here working 80 hour weeks
In a war he can't win he's trying to defeat sleep
So he relies on something stronger than coffee
Even though to his life it's costly
But he can afford the habit it's cost free
Even though his young life it will cost he
[Hook: Rob Jay]
He's addicted he's afflicted
He's been cursed with this pill this sickness
The drug have got him feeling like a soldier
Superman but he's only Clark Kent when he's sober
Well this is my moment of truth
I offer you no excuse
100 proof, so aloof
Welcome to substance abuse
[Verse 2: Rob Jay]
Back in the Ivy League to meet academic demands
Adderall helped him study from them exams
And when he graduated to study law
Thats when he started to study with raw
Something in that powder made him feel power
Helped him stay up and study tort law for hours
And when he takes ecstasy
It feels like ecstasy
But now the drugs become necessity
Because he's gone graduate with honors by any means neccesary
He's a victim of his own desire
This is the quintessential quagmire
What do you do when the use of a drug
Improves your skill at something that you greatly love
When you work good but better with a slight buzz
Do you quit, moderate or choose all of the above
[Hook: Rob Jay]
He's addicted he's afflicted
He's been cursed with this pill this sickness
The drug have got him feeling like a soldier
Superman but he's only Clark Kent when he's sober
Well this is my moment of truth
I offer you no excuse
100 proof, so aloof
Welcome to substance abuse
[Verse 3: Rob Jay]
He tried quitting but he wasn't committed
Scratched with the drugs whenever he'd start itching
Audited his life and his sanity was missing
Somehow those drug free days seem so distant
Nah he's not in his right mind
So he starts hanging with fellow users like minds
So he doesn't feel addicted
He thinks damn I know a lot of people with habits like mine
But he's living with numbered breaths
Because every night he cheats death
He lays down then he even tries sleeping
But his eyes is wired and he can hear his heart beating
Then he tempts himself with foolish deals
Just lies to himself like this will be my last pill
Till he looks in the cabinet and sees he has six left
He thinks tonight I'll swallow them all and never look back at this mess
Yes, crazy is what your probably thinking
But to a substance abuser this is logical thinking
And he was right it was his last pill ever
He left the building that night same fate as Heath Ledger
He overdosed he comatosed he never woke up
His body doped up
He's killing himself
He's killing his health
He's stressed and depressed
But when he pops that pill, he's back to feeling himself
Like he has a clean bill of health
Besides his dealer this addiction is known by no one else
But it's growing alongside his wealth
The richer he gets the more addicted he gets
