lyrics

System planned drug addiction

Understand
The Street is not responsible for the 21st century plague of synthetic opioids
Oxycodone was not manufactured by organized crime families or biker crews
(And it all kinda started with the Oxy didn’t it?)

System created situation, see—the current “opiate crisis” or “opioid epidemic”
Can trace its roots back to the 1980s…
But let’s keep it simple.

1994 saw pharmaceutical companies hostin conventions in major cities
Hundreds of doctors arrive for plush gifts and swag bags
Some even sent on expensive vacations
Big Pharma marketin push for the first wave of synthetic opioid
(Tho the shit bin round since the 1900s)

Synth Junk

Consider:
Heroin—physical withdrawal twelve to fourteen days
Oxycodone —physical withdrawal twenty-eight day nightmare
What do you call it when they manufacture a drug,
A new smack, harder to kick than the old smack?

And now lawsuits against the various companies responsible,
Pay-outs already factored into the profit margins over a decade ago
When their lawyers saw it comin.

Doctor’s laughable defense—
They say they were misled about the addictive nature of the drugs.
This is impossible to believe. They were givin the stuff out like candy.
People going into emergency rooms for sprained ankles
And comin out with junk habits.

Doctor’s say they didn’t notice.
“Do no harm.”
Yeah. Right.

Not that any of this matters to the addicted…
…and their ever growin numbers are legion.

Distract and divide. Divide and distract.
Old games, new tricks.

Durin the Vietnam-era they pumped the ghettos full of smack,
No one riots when they’re on the nod.
One percent safe and sound while the poorest shake it rough

Prayin for their next fix.
