Medicine
First Degree The D.E. Lyrics

Uh
Expression of hesitation or uncertainty

Yeah
Affirmation or agreement

Man I'm back up on the grind
I'm back to working hard and hustling

Feels like the thousandth time
It feels like I've done this countless times before

But I love to hear the chime
I enjoy the sound of money coming in

From a pocket full of dimes
From having a lot of small amounts of money

And I love to hear the fold
I enjoy the sound of folding paper money

Of a couple hundred notes
Of having a significant amount of money

Homie don't act like you know
Don't pretend to understand or be part of this lifestyle

'Cause this ain't something you can quote
Because this experience can't simply be summarized

'Cause I know that you've been broke
Because I know you've experienced financial struggle

'Cause I never seen a choke
Because I've never witnessed failure

And I never seen a coat
I've never seen someone flaunting wealth

But you know it's getting cold
But you're aware that times are tough

So you better get a boat
So you should find a way to navigate through difficult times

If you wanna stay afloat
If you want to survive and thrive

Please don't ask me where I've been
Don't inquire about my recent whereabouts

You know I got that medicine
You know I have what you need to feel better

So you just gotta let us in
You just need to allow us to help you

We tot spoons and injections
We carry tools and drugs for administering

We put that shit under your skin
We inject drugs into your body

And now you're hooked and getting thin
And now you're addicted and losing weight

We've been down this road
We've experienced this situation before

Some time before
Numerous times in the past

It's getting old
It's becoming tiresome or repetitive

Man I gotta get a bag
I need to make money

And you gotta get a drag
And you need to take a hit of drugs

Yeah you gotta get a sniff
Yes, you need to inhale drugs

Yeah you gotta get a whiff
Yes, you need to catch a scent of drugs

'Cause that product got you whipped
Because that drug has control over you

But I only sell a bit
But I only provide a small amount of drugs

'Cause I don't wanna see you stiff
Because I don't want you to end up dead

'Cause dead bodies ain't nothing but worthless
Because dead bodies have no value or purpose

They no longer purchase
They can no longer buy or consume drugs

Plus I don't like churches
And I don't like religious institutions

And hearses
And vehicles used to transport dead bodies

That shit make me nervous
Those things make me uncomfortable

Rather lay some verses
I prefer to write and perform rap lyrics

Or go in bitches purses
Or steal from women's handbags

You ain't nothing but a fiend
You're nothing more than a drug addict

Soon as you feel the need
As soon as you experience that craving

You gon' drop down on your knees
You'll kneel down to beg

You be begging for a G
You'll desperately beg for money

Or you crying for an O
Or you'll be sobbing for an ounce of drugs

Homie don't say that you don't
Don't deny your desires

Homie don't say that you won't
Don't claim that you won't give in

'Cause I will drop a sale just to make a fucking point
Because I am willing to lose a sale in order to emphasize a message

And you won't disappoint
And you won't fail to meet my expectations

Looking at the ground for coins
Searching the floor for spare change

You be staring at cement
You'll be gazing at the concrete

Tryna find a fucking cent
Trying to find a single cent

Just so you can make a dent
Just so you can make a small impact or progress

In your next payment
In your next financial obligation

We put in the dough
We invest money

And hope it grows
And hope it increases in value

One hundred fold
A hundred times greater
