Fentanyl Lyrics

- Meaning
[Verse 1: Knox Hill, Knox Hill & Ren]
Conscious rap was vibin', but they said it wasn't sellin'
So instead of drive, the question was for highs, I guess I get it
But we sold the De La Soul's and reassigned the proper metrics
Violent raps survived, and opened eyes to profit zealots
Survival of the fittest
Trade your bars for gems, and you'll be shinin', that's the realest
In this climate of addiction stock, Big Pharma is the realest
Now as long as pills are fillin', you ain't really gotta feel this, so
The world is full of juice, and while you're floatin', you can feel it drown
How many rappers out here missin' out?
But they sell you with this vision, and this fear of missin' out (Yeah)
The industry will fuck us (True), so we follow what is trendin'
Brag about these hollow tips, but it's all hollow, tip the pen in
I lace my verse with fentanyl, and lean into attention
Toe tags for the mentions, body bags for what they spendin'
While they braggin', we descend, and from the ground, we're all descendants now
[Chorus: Ren]
Sinners don't sleep in this broken town
Tradin' their souls for some gold and brown
Feel the release, come back down
But we're not comin' up
Killers on the city streets, buyin' it up
[?] and addicts, weird habits get rushed
We livin' in vain just to end it all
And I spend it all on the fentanyl
[Verse 2: Knox Hill]
My cousin was a pitcher, on that curve, he got that scholarship
On campus, he's the man, though [?], he was hidin' shit
But then he hurt his arm, senior year, it's time to prove it
Started takin' painkillers so he could play and keep it movin'
Scouts watchin', couldn't lose 'em, so he took more, and he kept usin'
'Fore he knew it, he's abusin', fastballs and two seams
Too clean, but now he's losin' weight
Drug testin' failed, so they kicked him off the team
He tried to kick the habit, but he's mad that he had lost his dreams, and sad that he got off the league
But all it takes is one reminder
In his mind, he couldn't help it, he was tryna finally settle
Midnight, he went outside, he was fightin' with his devils
"One hit", he told himself, "It'll help me through this hell
I know I'm sick, and I need help, but one hit, man, what the hell?"
So he lit it, then he took it to the face (Yeah)
But as the story goes, you know that fentanyl was laced
[Chorus: Ren]
Sinners don't sleep in this broken town
Tradin' their souls for some gold and brown
Feel the release, come back down
But we're not comin' up
Killers on the city streets, buyin' it up
[?] and addicts, weird habits get rushed
We livin' in vain just to end it all
And I spend it all on the fentanyl
[Verse 3: Knox Hill]
Took my heart, you took my fuckin' life
Took my pride, you took my mind to [?] advice
Took my fam, I paid the price, and now I stand on murdered time
And my plans have turned to ice, I'm burnin' fire
Build this pyre higher, I'm wired, and this dopamine get higher
Still a broken fiend, supplier of the hopeless dreams
When it's all smoke, the only ropes are one that chokes
Will they remember me? Take all my memories and light them on this fire
Fire for the crooked dealer, [?] you package hate
Fire for that greedy villain, he who had it laced
Fire for my future, that look on my father's face
My mother still in tears, my cousin, he's too far away
When they told me to get help, and yes, I tried, I tried again
But in the end, we're all just vains, and in the end, it came to veins
And in the end, I died in vain, and in the end, I tried to
Fuck it
[Outro: Knox Hill]
*Crying*
Oh, God
(Samad, cook it up, yeah)
[Verse 1: Knox Hill, Knox Hill & Ren]
In this section, Knox Hill reflects on the rap industry and how conscious rap was overshadowed by more marketable, yet violent, themes. He critiques how the drive for financial success often leads to moral compromises, with addiction becoming a recurring theme in society. Knox Hill links this back to the pharmaceutical industry, metaphorically suggesting that addiction has permeated not only individuals but also the music industry itself. He compares his verses to fentanyl, highlighting how dangerously addictive both can be and the fatal consequences that come with it.
[Chorus: Ren]
Ren's chorus captures the bleak reality of living in a broken society where individuals are willing to trade their souls for temporary highs. The mention of “gold and brown” references heroin and the release it brings, but the inevitable fall afterward is emphasized, showing that these fleeting moments of escape only lead to further despair. The imagery of killers and addicts on the streets reflects the harsh consequences of addiction, where lives are continuously lost to drugs like fentanyl.
[Verse 2: Knox Hill]
In this verse, Knox Hill shares a personal story about his cousin, a promising athlete who spirals into addiction after suffering an injury. The painkillers he initially took to stay in the game quickly turn into a dependency that leads to his downfall. The verse highlights how easily a moment of weakness, or a single hit, can lead to a life-threatening addiction. The tragedy culminates in his cousin's death from laced fentanyl, emphasizing the lethal consequences of drug abuse and the tragic loss of potential.
[Verse 3: Knox Hill]
Knox Hill expresses his anger and devastation in this verse, blaming not only the drugs but the larger system that profits from addiction. He speaks to the emotional toll it takes on families, with imagery of his father’s and mother’s grief, and how this addiction has stolen his loved one. The verse ends with a sense of hopelessness and finality, as Knox Hill reflects on the futility of trying to escape the grip of addiction, ultimately succumbing to it himself.
[Outro: Knox Hill]
The outro conveys the emotional breakdown that follows the events in the previous verses. Knox Hill is left broken and in tears, symbolizing the ultimate cost of addiction. The mention of Samad producing the track serves as a haunting reminder of the entire tragedy that has unfolded, leaving a lasting impression on the listener.
