Love Drugs
Maxo Kream Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lil momma, why you gotta nigga stressin′?
Lil momma, why you gotta ask questions?
Why you worried 'bout the hoes I′m textin'?
Why you going through my phone text message?
I be creepin' on the low, can′t help it
I be sippin′ on the four, can't help it
Takin′ percs to the face like a selfie
Molly rocks, I'ma roll like Elvis

I choose the percs over you, aye
I choose the syrup over you, aye
I put the herb in the leaf like it′s autumn
I'm on the syrup like a pancake or waffle
Just like a baby, I sip out the bottle
Still on the pint, I′ma pour out the bottle
Tropical Sprite with codeine at the bottom
Mix it together, at first it was separate
We always fightin', we better off separate
I sip the Qualitest when I get desperate
I ate a Xannie and instantly felt it
You or the drugs, is it really a question?
I choose the percs over you
I choose the syrup over you
Love is a drug and I think I'm addicted
Call up my doctor, I need a prescription

Call me ′bout nothin′, huffin' and puffin′
Everyday fussin', makin′ up assumptions
Insecure bitch think I'm always doin′ somethin'
Worry about no hoe, I'm chasin′ that money
Pop four dummies, cup too muddy
Weed too gummy, chain too sunny
Tryna get high, can′t deal with the drama
Basic lil hoe, act just like her momma
Say I need help, I'm a junkie, I′m an addict
Just 'cause I mix the codeine with the Addies
Narco summers, bag dope with the Xannies
Work a nigga nerves and I′m just tryna manage
Mary Jane never talk back
Molly don't give me no slack (lil hoe)
Lil drank, Act know how to act
Married to the dope, ain′t never turnin' back

Lil momma, why you got a nigga stressin'?
Lil momma, why you gotta ask questions?
Why you worried ′bout the hoes I′m textin'?
Why you going through my phone text message?
I be creepin′ on the low, can't help it
I be sippin′ on the four, can't help it
Takin′ percs to the face like a selfie
Molly rocks, I'ma roll like Elvis

I choose the percs over you (aye)
I choose the syrup over you (aye)
I put the herb in the leaf like it's autumn
I′m on the syrup like a pancake or waffle
Just like a baby, I sip out the bottle
Still on the pint, I′ma pour out the bottle
Tropical Sprite with codeine at the bottom
Mix it together, at first it was separate
We always fightin', we better off separate
I sip the Qualitest when I get desperate
I ate a Xannie and instantly felt it
You or the drugs, is it a question?
I choose the percs over you
I choose the syrup over you




Love is a drug and I think I′m addicted
Call up my doctor, I need a prescription

Overall Meaning

In Maxo Kream's song "Love Drugs," the lyrics express a struggle between the rapper's love for drugs versus his relationship with his partner. The lyrics create a vivid picture of a man who is consumed by his addiction and is being pushed away by his partner who is worried about his drug use. The first verse of the song comes from the man's point of view as he questions why his partner is so obsessed with his phone and the women he is texting. He admits that he is addicted, taking "percs to the face like a selfie" and rolling on "Molly rocks" like Elvis Presley.


In the chorus, Maxo Kream emphasizes his choice to prioritize drugs over love. He states that he chooses "the percs over you" and "the syrup over you." The second verse is directed towards his partner, with Kream calling her an "insecure bitch" and criticizing her for being dramatic. He emphasizes his love for drugs over any relationship drama, singing that he is "married to the dope" and will never turn back. The song is ultimately a grim portrait of addiction and the damage it can cause to all aspects of someone's life.
