When I was 23, my mother [G] passed away.
I [Am] didn't know that I'd experienced my blackest days.
I couldn't feel a thing, I was broken.
I needed something more than just drinking and [D] smoking.
A friend [Am] of mine said, I heard you got some problems.
Well, I can help you fix them buddy.
Try some Oxycontin.
It makes you warm like butter on a biscuit.
It's just like heroin,
but it's not [Gm] addictive.
I took [E] one and felt amazing and warm.
I felt like a little [C] baby
reborn.
I felt [Dm] like I was laying in [Am] a cradle in [Dm] a blanket as a hundred thousand angels got on
stage to perform [Bb] softly playing the horns.
[E] I didn't know that I [Am] was entering a dangerous storm
or [Dm] I guess I didn't care [Am] because I ain't even [Dm] look.
I [G] tried these stupid [Dm] pills one time and I
was hooked.
[E] I started taking pills every single day.
If I felt anxiety or pressure, it's [Dm] okay.
I would take [Am] a pill and grind it up and snort [Dm] it in my nose.
I was so damn [Am] high, I didn't feel
the torture [E] in my soul.
People started saying, Mac, I think you're just a [Am] bit unstable.
Thanksgiving
dinner, nodding out about the [Dm] kitchen table.
Every single [Am] fucking bit of cash up in my [Em] savings [Am] went
so I could satisfy my [Dm] cravings.
I wrecked [Am] a car, then I wrecked another car.
I didn't care.
I was
high out on [Dm] fucking [A] Mars.
I used to be a sweet kid on the monkey bars.
Now I'm just a junkie hoping
[Am] I don't get [D] drunk and barf.
In my [Am] sleep, I was stuck out in the [G] rain.
I guess I finally figured
out that [A] something had to [E] change.
You gotta [Am] understand if I couldn't find [E] pills, I'd be on
the [Am] bathroom floor, nauseous and [E] ill.
I started doing research.
I couldn't afford [Am] rehab.
I couldn't
make those [Dm] fees work.
Plus, [Am] I didn't want to [Dm] treat it like a second home.
I didn't want to take subs.
Fuck [E] methadone.
My fans knew that I was high.
They could [Am] tell you.
I got an email from a [Dm] girl named
Bella who told me about her [Am] husband, a [G] guy named John who [D] ran a website, completecratum.com,
and a [A] company, a perfect piece.
She said, we [Dm] sell the stuff [Am] called Kratom.
Get online and [Dm] research
it, please.
So I [Am] did.
I read about Kratom.
A lot of addicts online said that it [Dm] saved them.
So I
[Am] ordered Kratom from John's [Em] website, and it showed up on my front porch the next night.
Then I [Am] drank
some mixed with [G] OJ.
It made all my [Am] withdrawal symptoms go [Bb] away.
[E] For the first time, I didn't
need a pill.
Every second of the [Am] story that I'm telling you was [Dm] real.
I was [F] no longer a slave
[Dm] locked in a dungeon.
I no longer needed Oxycontin to [E] function.
I started working out.
I started
[Am] lifting weights.
I started doing jujitsu.
I started [Dm] feeling great.
[Am] Eventually, I [Dm] even met my [G] wife.
I
swear [Dm] that I'm reborn.
I've been living a second [Gm] life.
But the addict in me never died.
Man, the
[Am] addict in you will never [Dm] die.
Just [A] accept it.
Just [Dm] embrace it.
Take the bad [Am] shit in your life and
[E] replace it.
Find things that you love.
Get addicted [Am] to them.
Stay away from the [Dm] drugs,
because that shit will ruin your life.
[Am] You're always going to be an addict.
You see, you got to get high naturally.
[Dm] Good luck.
