Eminem - Drug Ballad Lyrics






Yeah, hahahaha...whooooo, shit!
Aight, guess what? I ain't coming in yet...
I'll come in a minute
Ayo...This is my love song...it goes like this

Back when Mark Wahlberg was Marky Mark
(fuckin' faggot)
This is how we used to make the party start
We used to mix Hen' with Bacardi Dark
And when it kicks in you can hardly talk

And by the sixth gin you're gon' probably crawl
And you'll be sick then and you'll probably barf
And my prediction is you're gon' probably fall
Either somewhere in the lobby or the hallway wall

And everything's spinning
You're beginnin' to think women
Are swimming in pink linen again in the sink
Then in a couple of minutes
That bottle of Guinness is finished
You are now allowed to officially slap bitches

You have the right to remain violent and start wilin'
Start a fight with the same guy that was smart-eyein' you
Get in your car, start it, and start drivin'
Over the island and cause a 42-car pile-up

Earth calling, pilot to co-pilot
Looking for life on this planet, sir, no sign of it
All I can see is a bunch of smoke flyin'
And I'm so high that I might die if I go by it
Let me out of this place
I'm outta place
I'm in outer space
I've just vanished without a trace
I'm going to a pretty place
Now where the flowers grow
I'll be back in an hour or so

'Cause every time I go to try to leave
Someone keeps pullin' on my sleeve
I don't wanna, but I gotta stay
These drugs really got a hold of me

'Cause every time I try to tell them "No"
They won't let me ever let them go
I'm a sucker all I gotta say
These drugs really got a hold of me

In third grade, all I used to do
Was sniff glue through a tube and play Rubik's cube
17 years later I'm as rude as Jude
Scheming on the first chick with the hugest boobs

I've got no game
And every face looks the same
They've got no name
So I don't need game to play

I just say whatever I want to whoever I want
Whenever I want, wherever I want, however I want

However I do show some respect to few
This ecstasy's got me standing next to you
Getting sentimental as fuck spillin' guts to you
We just met but I think I'm in love with you

But you're on it too
So you tell me you love me too
Wake up in the morning like
"Yo, what the fuck we do?"
I gotta go bitch
You know I got stuff to do
'Cause if I get caught cheatin' then I'm stuck with you

But in the long run
These drugs are probably going to catch up sooner or later
But fuck it, I'm on one
So let's enjoy
Let the X destroy your spinal cord
So it's not a straight line no more
'Til we walk around looking like some wind-up dolls
Shit's sticking out of our backs like a dinosaur
Shit, six hits won't even get me high no more
So bye for now
I'm going to try to find some more

'Cause every time I go to try to leave
Someone keeps pullin' on my sleeve
I don't wanna, but I gotta stay
These drugs really got a hold of me

'Cause every time I try to tell them "No"
They won't let me ever let them go
I'm a sucker all I gotta say
These drugs really got a hold of me

That's the sound of a bottle when it's hollow
When you swallow it all wallow and drown in your sorrow
And tomorrow you're probably gonna wanna do it again
What's a little spinal fluid between you and a friend? Screw it
And what's a little bit of alcohol poisoning?
And what's a little fight?
Tomorrow you'll be boys again
It's your life
Live it however you wanna
Marijuana is everywhere
Where was you brought up?
It don't matter as long as you get where you're going
‘Cause none of this shit's gonna mean shit where we're goin'
They tell you to stop, but you just sit there ignoring
Even though you wake up feeling like shit every morning

But you're young
You've got a lot of drugs to do
Girls to screw
Parties to crash
Sucks to be you
If I could take it all back now, I wouldn't
I would have did more shit that people said that I shouldn't
But I'm all grown up now and upgraded and graduated
Did better drugs and updated
But I've still got a lot of growing up to do
I've still got a whole lot of throwing up to spew

But when it's all said and done I'll be 40
Before I know it with a 40 on the porch telling stories
With a bottle of Jack
Two grandkids in my lap
Babysitting for Hailie while Hailie's out getting smashed

'Cause every time I go to try to leave
Someone keeps pullin' on my sleeve
I don't wanna, but I gotta stay
These drugs really got a hold of me

'Cause every time I try to tell them "No"
They won't let me ever let them go
I'm a sucker all I gotta say
These drugs really got a hold of me

'Cause every time I go to try to leave
Someone keeps pullin' on my sleeve
I don't wanna, but I gotta stay
These drugs really got a hold of me

'Cause every time I try to tell them "No"
They won't let me ever let them go
I'm a sucker all I gotta say
These drugs really got a hold of me

Drugs really got a hold of me
Really got a hold of me
'Cause drugs really got a hold of me
They really got a hold of me

    I never realised he said this line!!


    „Before I know it with a 40 on the porch tellin' stories

    Babysittin' for Hailie while Hailie's out gettin' smashed“

    Eminem used to be the shit! I always think rappers can’t be rich too long otherwise their music becomes unbearable

  3. s.... ....

    This song is surprisingly relatable.

  4. J.... c....

    I definitely think Eminem’s politics are trash but his music will always make up for any character flaws he’s got. The man is a lyrical genius.

  5. N.... J....

  40. K.... F....

    Like all the greatest talent, em was far ahead of his time; all his better LP's and songs. If they all were to drop today (aside from the PC climate) he would be a legend like nothing else! GOAT

  41. T.... H....

    Well now he's 40 and listening

  46. M.... ....

    Jesse Pinkman's fav song!!

  47. p.... ....

    I wish this got a much play and air time as his others did. This one is unbelievable. Ems word play and his goofy but deep lyrics and is flow over it is unreal then then on top of it he made it in one day. God damn that can’t get any more perfect

  48. G.... K....

    he actually dissed hailey in this song..(last verse)

    This song is actually Eminem talking about struggling with drugs

    K.... S....

  58. E.... O....

    "And everything's spinnin you're beginnin to think women are swimmin in pink linen again in the sink, then in a couple of minutes that bottle of guiness is finished, you are now allowed to officially slap bitches"


    No one raps like this anymore...

    E.... O....

  64. A.... C....

    this dude better be remembered once hes gone..

  65. B.... B....

    This is Em before he gave up his flow for double entendres.

    B.... B....

    He got bored man, but he disnt get boring. He still spits fire.

    B.... B....

    @TheGillenium this. He probably thinks that his old verses are too basic for him now

  66. S.... M....

    I’ve just realised Eminem is the only artist to have his own lyrics VEVO 😂 he is the best artist alive and to ever live

    S.... M....

    Why did you like your own comment? 😂

  67. k.... S....

    He was one of them greatest of all time. Then he sobered up. He's alive. That's good.

  68. k.... S....

    lol these lyrics aren't even right

  69. G.... C....

    Wow he talks about Hailey being smashed here and got really offended when that rapper said she was hot as f*ck?

    G.... C....

    G C smashed as in drunk dummy

  70. D.... L....

    3:56 always made me laugh cuz she's lile 23 now, I wonder if she's heard this song

  71. J.... W....

    Fuckin rude Jude bruh. He was funny

  72. J.... W....

    Earth calling pilot to co pilot look at the life on this planet, no sign of it.😢😢😥

  73. J.... W....

    I remember these days, on that x bro, Rollin listening to this. He def did alot of x.

  74. J.... G....

    This album has some of the best wordplay every written to this day if you ask me.

  75. B.... J....

    I only found out this song and sheez! one of the songs on top of my playlist

  76. �.... ....

    Listening in 2019??

  77. D.... B....

    Eminem is back with Kamikaze.

  78. l.... G....

    This is part of my post apocalypse album.

  79. T.... S....

    Listen to this while ur doing drugs. Best drug music ever.

  80. W.... B....

    I really miss this more serious but not whiny Eminem.

    W.... B....

    mate this was on the same album as The Way I Am.

  81. T.... V....

    we know

  82. D.... F....

    "these drugs are gonna catch up sooner or later but fuck it i m on one" deep inside the mind of a drug user

  83. T.... S....

    This song is so relatable to those battling addictions. Like me.

  84. g.... 2....

    Definitely one of Em’s best verses

  85. R.... E....

    Eminem said "Fuck it, I'm on one" first! I'll be damned... 2:26

  86. b.... n....

    2019 still bumping give a like

  87. T.... ....

    Why does the best remind me of Cum On Everybody?

  88. D.... M....

    best eminem track

  89. P.... G....

    My favourite Em song, right next to Lose Yourself!! Classic! never gets old, it just gets more urgent <3

  90. S.... K....

    Anyone here in 2019???

  91. S.... 6....

    Nothing beats 96 to 04 Eminem. It's sad we'll never get to see it anymore.

  92. L.... R....

    3rd verse was the dopest

  93. R.... S....

    Rubix cube LOLL. ITS RUBIK'S CUBE

  94. J.... D....

    Long time ago, thems drugs was better then. Great song

  95. T.... ....

    I don't usually leave comments for lyric music videos but I did enjoy this one as far as accurate lyrics and the words on screen keeping up with the song. My only "negative" critic/constructive criticism is that I wish the font was bigger on the screen (it was a little hard to see) and you didn't add any of the lyrics for the female background singers. I know in my area this is a popular karaoke song in which random drunk white chicks enjoy "singing" the "very important" small female backing vocals..gotta allow those basic b*tches to get their "woos" on 😂😂😂

  96. k.... ....

    Good old EM'
