Have you ever heard of benzodiazepine

It's a script they be passing, handing out like candy

They'll write it up for anything so casually

All you gotta do is tell 'em that you got anxiety

Or maybe trouble sleeping, even problems with your knee

It don't really matter, probably give it to you free

But if you ever stop it, God gon' have to intervene

'Cause what it really is, is Devil's Diazepine

Yeah

They prescribed the K to me 'cause I wasn't okay

I was drowning in the panic, and they said this was the way

Here's a tiny blue pill, take it, pain'll go away

And all I had to do was take a milligram a day

So I took it for some years, four years to be exact

Brought the panic down, had me thinking I was past

Till the bill came due and I had to pay the tax

Tried to come off it but my whole brain collapsed

Doctor took me off it with a four-week taper

Told me I'd be fine while she handed me the paper

I did what she said 'cause I was dumb and I believed her

Started spiralin' to the bottom till I met up with the reaper

When the symptoms started hittin' I was on the bottle sippin'

I was poppin' for the panic but I stopped and started trippin'

Yeah I tried to start again, but the feeling wasn't hittin'

Yeah I even tried to double, but there ain't no re-committin'

Once you start to come off it, there ain't any way to stop it

So I went to rehab, figured maybe that would solve it

Thirty days later, still no signs of it stoppin'

Took three more years 'til the symptoms started droppin'

Search it up yourself, protracted withdrawal

You should never trust a pill to heal a feel and do it all

'Cause the system isn't built to be catching when you fall

In my opinion, this withdrawal is the worst of them all
