The Story of My Drug Addiction lyrics

[Verse]
When I was 23, my mother passed away
I didn't know that I'd experience my blackest days
I couldn't feel a thing, I was broken
I needed something more than just drinking and smoking
A friend of mine said "I heard you got some problems
Well, I can help you fix 'em, buddy, try some OxyContin
It makes you warm like butter on a biscuit
It's just like heroin, but it's not addictive"
I took one and felt amazing and warm
I felt like a little baby reborn
I felt like I was laying in a cradle in a blanket
As a hundred thousands angels got on stage to perform
Softly playing the horns
I didn't know that I was entering a dangerous storm
Or I guess I didn't care, 'cause I ain't even look
I tried these stupid pills one time and I was hooked
I started taking pills every single day
If I felt anxiety or pressure, it's OK
I would take a pill, then grind it up and snort it in my nose
I was so damn high, I didn't feel the torture in my soul
People started saying, "Mac, I think you're just a bit unstable"
Thanksgiving dinner, nodding out up at the kitchen table
Every single f*cking bit of cash up in my savings
Went so I could satisfy my cravings
I wrecked a car, then I wrecked another car
I didn't care, I was high, out on f*cking Mars
I used to be a sweet kid on the monkey bars
Now I'm just a junkie, hoping I don't get drunk and barf
In my sleep, I was stuck out in the rain
I guess I finally figured out that something had to change
You gotta understand, if I couldn't find pills
I'd be on the bathroom floor nauseous and ill
I started doing research
I couldn't afford rehab, I couldn't make those fees work
Plus I didn't want to treat it like a second home
I didn't want to take subs, f*ck Methadone
My fans knew that I was high, they could tell ya
I got an e-mail from a girl named Bella
Who told me about her husband, a guy named John
Who ran a website, completekratom.com
In a company of perfect peace
She said "We sell this stuff called Kratom; get online and research it, please"
So I did, I read about Kratom
A lot of addicts online said that it saved them
So I ordered Kratom from John's website
And it showed up on my front porch the next night
And then I drank some mixed with OJ
It made all my withdrawal symptoms go away
And for the first time, I didn't need a pill
Every second of this story that I'm telling you is real
I was no longer a slave locked in a dungeon
I no longer needed OxyContin to function
I started working out, I started lifting weights
I started doing Jujitsu, I started feeling great
Eventually I even met my wife
I swear that I'm reborn, I've been living a second life
But the addict in me never died
Man, the addict in you will never die
Just accept it, just embrace it
Take the bad sh*t in your life and replace it
Find things that you love, get addicted to 'em
Stay away from the drugs, 'cause that sh*t'll ruin
Your life, you're always gonna be an addict
You see? You gotta get high naturally
Good luck
