lyrics

Legally Prescribed (Verse 1) They try to blame us for puffin’ grade A bud By still claiming marijuana is a gateway drug While tobacco leaves 400,000 people laid to rest A year with over 80,000 alcohol related deaths In the U.S. so they told us a lie Cause anybody who has ever gotten stoned is alive Plus the hemp plant is more than just pot And 8,000 years ago was being grown as a crop Plus if you compared the acres of each Hemp produces 4x more paper than trees Even the original hemp paper drafts were involved That our Declaration of Independence was written on And used as cloth rope if handled efficiently And used to be legal for most of America’s history Till Harry Aslinger from the Bureau of Narcotics In 1930 had decided to demoralize it Through a propaganda campaign as a fallacy Claiming to cause acts of violence and insanity Then Congress banned weed to mandate grass 1937 Marijuana Tax Stamp Act Even though they knew that weed was harmless and false Still enforced mandatory minimum sentencing laws So once you’re caught once, the worse it gets Serving 2 to 10 years for a 1st offense But yet they know it isn’t dangerous at all And still till this day follow old racist laws Then Nancy Reagan said to “Just Say No” On every add, arcade game, and TV show As one of the most hypocritical things they’d ever seen Cause Aderol just like Methanol is an amphetamine Which I find so preposterous Cause Heroine was once even sold by doctors To men and women, even gave it to children Claiming their wouldn’t be any danger of addiction Cause they used to prescribe and they still do But now instead of Heroine it’s Opioids that kill you Then OxyContin got introduced By drug company Purdue which led to further abuse Even encouraging doctors to push higher doses Of OxyContin to patients in exchange for bonuses Damn, knowingly and aware of it Eventually causing more than double the deaths of Heroine So they passed laws to make it harder to get Then Heroine deaths started to sky rocket again With the best interest of none represented All stemming from this Heroine, prescription drug epidemic Cause once they hook you it’s too heavy to cope And Fentanyl is 50% more deadly than dope (Chorus) Cause there’s a war against drugs but it’s not being won And there’s laws against guns but there’s shots being sprung It’s like we’re intentionally counteracting these false laws Escalating this epidemic into a lost cause But allegations we’ve conveniently denied As a way to regulate and easily divide And blame weed and people like me for being high But the real gateway is being Legally Prescribed (Verse 2) So it’s pointless overprotecting and policing Prohibiting drug use is like preventing overeating Cause while we assumed that prevention would undo American food causes more deaths than drugs do So as we look at all the harm that was caused It’s a problem of morals not of economics at all Because from an economic point of view Our government protects the drug cartel to get loot Enforced laws as an effort to show us By keeping the goods out and arresting the growers Cause it increases our profits the minute that we crime fight Limits competition and keeps products at a high price Since the Clinton 99’ administration On March 1st announced it’s allies with other nations To then multiply the drug runners profits Wherever they compete to increase corruption and violence While simultaneous entertainment is feeding us Anti drug agendas by major government media About how drugs were destroying our society Meanwhile they’re being bought and sold as a commodity By claiming it’s the greatest threat to our existence Immediately effecting the public’s opinion From the budget deficit being the main concern Until the drug campaign came to take it’s turn Which provides a perfect coverup for U.S. intervention As an excuse to strengthen military presence By increasing repression in the inner cities And building support for their attack on civil liberties Plus Bush Senior also targeted weed 0 deaths but arrested at the highest degree Cause they increase use through these fake objectives With the same campaign that they staged against it (Chorus) Cause there’s a war against drugs but it’s not being won And there’s laws against guns but there’s shots being sprung It’s like we’re intentionally counteracting these false laws Escalating this epidemic into a lost cause But allegations we’ve conveniently denied As a way to regulate and easily divide And blame weed and people like me for being high But the real gateway is being Legally Prescribed
