These Drugs

EMINEM

5

[Chorus: Eminem]

It's… (It's…) be… (be…) …cause (…cause) of… (of…)

These drugs I do; that's why I do the things I do

It's because of these drugs that I do that make me

Do these things that I do, do these things that I do

Be… cause… of…

These drugs I do; that's why I do the things I do

[Spoken: Eminem]

It was like, "Whoa…"

And then the fucking room started spinnin' and shit

And my friend came in; he was like, "Yo, yo! Em, Em! You puttin' that shit up your nose again?”

And I was like, "Nah", nuttin', like, everything was just spinnin'

I couldn't even see, and like, he started to look like a monster and shit

Then I just started laughin' and threw up all over the fuckin' floor

It's crazy

[Verse 1: Eminem]

My music is therapeutic for whoever's there to use it

It's like, Lucifer's here to influence listeners through it

You probably do what it said to do just from listenin' to it

It's got the power to get you to do it (Come on!)

So when the shit comes on, I wanna see some shit jump off

Some bitch get slapped, some motherfucking kid get stomped (Aaahhh!)

So get this song, go run out and buy this disc

And try this shit, as much coke as I just did

'Cause times like these, got me doin' lines like these

Plus, I grab a pencil every time that I light weed

It's probably because of the drugs; Shady does what he does

And is what it is; I'm dizzy, Bizzy, visit these kids

[Verse 2: Bizarre & (Eminem)]

Hey, Stephanie (Hi!) Let's take some ecstasy (Okay!)

Now pull your pants down, bitch, and have sex with this dog next to me (Huh?)

‘Til I'm dead I'm takin' blunts to the head

Needles in my broken leg, listen to Grateful Dead

These mescalines got me sure

That I can fuck any whore with genital warts on the Warped Tour

Who slipped this downer in my Snapple?

Cussin' out Interscope (Bizarre, you're signed to Capitol!)

Fuck it, I was born with half a brain

Sniffin' 'caine, at celebrity basketball games

You motherfuckers think I'm a gimmick

'Cause I got a Cash Money tattoo and roll with No Limit (Uuuuhhhh!)

The last time I sniffed blow

I ended up in Denver, Colorado at an Iggy Pop show

Bizarre be smokin' a half a pound

Fuckin' the engineer's wife, while he's mixin' my song down

[Chorus: Eminem]

It's… (It's…) be… (be…) …cause (…cause) of… (of…)

These drugs I do; that's why I do the things I do

It's because of these drugs that I do that make me

Do these things that I do, do these things that I do

Be… cause… of…

These drugs I do; that's why I do the things I do

[Spoken: Eminem]

It's like, back when I first went on tour

I like, went crazy; I was like, out of control

And… just was fuckin' wasted every night, like

Wakin' up the next morning like, "Where the—"

"Where the fuck am I at? What the fuck is goin' on?"

You know what I'm sayin'? I was like, out of control

[Verse 3: Swifty McVay & (Bizarre)]

These Benadryls got me stiffer than a mannequin

Eight years old swallowin' Anacins, standin' over my bannister

Laughin' with a chromed out caliber (Ha ha ha ha ha ha…)

The weed that I'm sellin' is black, look like the back of a tarantula

I keep a substantial amount of aspirins in my Acura

Smashin' it, after framin' a nigga with smack and dust

I'm scandalous; drugs been ran for months

Crackin' capsules to expand our blunts

I rolled it up and take the pressure to the head

Now I'm lookin' like a extra on "Night of the Living Dead"

Until they find me on a stretcher

I'm quick to sample anything; bitch, you got a tester?

This crank'll have me blowin' up banks like Uncle Fester

[Verse 4: Proof & (Eminem)]

Aaaahhhh…!

Watch tonight, you'll admit that I'm a fiend

Pop beans, 'scalines, along with amphetamines

Ghetto kings, meddling with the smell of greens

Got a Jell-O spleen, and see yellow rings (Ooohhh…)

Blue pills and purple mushrooms

(Hey, little girl, you got a curfew, don't you?)

Missin' since yesterday, perfect just for rape

See, I'm on Judgment Day, numb from Special K

Two tabs of X and vitamin C

Swallow Hennessey along with Tylenol 3

Grindin' the teeth at the signs of the E

I lost six days at a time in the week

The crime in the street hold your parents for ransom

While D12 gang rape Marilyn Manson

In twelve hours we blow a pound of the chronic

Barf up my stomach linin', drown in my vomit

[Chorus: Eminem]

It's… (It's…) be… (be…) …cause (…cause) of… (of…)

These drugs I do; that's why I do the things I do

It's because of these drugs that I do that make me

Do these things that I do, do these things that I do

Be… cause… of…

These drugs I do; that's why I do the things I do

Be… cause… of…

These drugs I do; that's why I do the things I do

It's because of these drugs that I do that make me

Do these things that I do, do these things that I do

Be… cause… of…

These drugs I do; that's why I do the things I do

Be… cause… of…

These drugs I do; that's why I do the things I do

[Outro: Eminem]

'Cause I like, I always tell people, you know what I'm sayin'?

Like, if you got an addiction, don't admit it, to nobody, you know what I'm sayin'?

Keep that shit to yourself, because if anybody sees that, you know what I'm sayin'?

When you're out in the public eye and shit, they're always gonna think that you're on that shit, even if you're not

That's why I always tell my friends, you know what I'm sayin'?

But, I mean, like, for me, I don't give a fuck; I'll probably end up dyin' from this shit one day

Probably pick up a newspaper in the morning and it's like, "Eminem dies from drug overdose"

You know what I'm sayin'? And—

And my friends, they ain't no fuckin' better, you know what I'm sayin'?

They ain't nothin' but influences, bad influences to me, so

It's peer pressure, shit is like all peer pressure

That's what it boils down to, and… I give in to it, so do they
