[Intro]
Phew, we done made it through freshman year, bruh!
Now, it’s off to Mahoney dormitories I guess
Yo, those dorms look nice, though
I heard they’re more spacious and vibrant

Aight, I’m about to go in
In Jesus… name

[Verse 1]
Have you heard the bad news?
Another teen dead by a noose
It’s a nuisance
All he left his family was a letter
Said he felt pain right when he wake up
Thoughts got so much hate it’s a danger
Hanging out with friends used to feel much better
Now, he’d rather hang from a rope it’s unsettling
Emotions overwhelm him
Rather be up in a hearse
‘Cause every day his heart hurts with frequency
Ooh, it hurts frequently!!
Never did anybody wrong
Never really was about delinquency
Still he walks up to cars
Asking them, like twenty one, just hit me
Now, Freddie reads the story
Study abroad Miami
So cool I’ll check out South Beach
(Bringing the heat... uh)
But really
He’s in Mahoney
Hops off the flight from Denmark
Premed is his major
You know the boy is really smart
But now he needs a fresh start
‘Cause inside he’s struggling with darkness
He’s got to ace everything
Or else med school’s won’t let him in
Medical marijuana’s medicine
Them deadlines
Lead to a dead mind
Smokes weed
Feels head high
Major wasn’t really his decision
Like a mental prison
And he just dropped the soap
Smoking dope is how he copes
Feels like there’s no hope
Campus minister runs
Routine evangelism
Freddie isn’t feeling him
School’s a lot of pressure
It’s leading to depression
Exhausted, yeah, he’s tired
Thinking to himself
Could this be my last final?
Success his biggest idol
Stress crashing down
Like a tidal wave
He’s walking down to Stanford dorms
Get out the way
Freddie walks through the door
Then through the ugly lobby

[Pre-Hook 1]
Makes a left, then makes a right
Goes up all 12 flights
Hops off the balcony
Another lost soul in Mahoney

[Hook]
I’m in Mahoney
I’m in Mahoney
I’m in Mahoney
Thank God
I’m grateful that I’m in Mahoney

[Verse 2]
Matt hops on the metro
To Ultra Music Festival
It’s a good thing that he’s flexible
Train is so packed
He’s got to squeeze between
Two thotties
With thick bodies
And rave bras on
He finally finds a seat
He’s got to check his tweets
Shows his boys some memes
“Yo, check this out it’s sweet!”
He’s got trust issues
If he were young Metro Boomin
Future probably shoot you
Now, he’s on the Metro Mover
Scrolling down his timeline
Sees some kids sipping wine
Outside they look alright
Hops off the train line
Now he’s up at ultra’s line
His friend walks up behind him
Looking like he did some lines
He must be on cocaine
Or molly… Or codeine
One thing is for sure
He’s got chemicals
Real hard drugs in his brain
Matt’s thinking to himself
“Maybe I’m too tame”
Now, he’s in the concert
Just trying to have fun
Dealer’s selling molly
More lethal than a gun
Dad just sent him money
So, “Yeah,” Matt replies
“Sure, I’ll buy some
Just a couple grams though”
He didn’t understand though
That that was way too much
But life was way too much
He’s out here losing touch
Popped his first pill
Oh, boy, he’s feeling clutch!
Feeling has got allure
Never felt like this before
He wants to take some more, and more, and more
Never felt like this before, before, before

*Ambulance sirens*

[Pre-Hook 2]
He made a left, then made a left
Then made a right, then another left
Felt he could do nothing right
Wish he had known Christ
Another lost soul in Mahoney

[Hook]
I’m in Mahoney
I’m in Mahoney
I’m in Mahoney
Thank God
I’m grateful that I’m in Mahoney

[Verse 3]
Kendrick Lamar
Rapped about “The Art of Peer Pressure”
This right here
Is the result of all y’all’s peer pressure
All of y’all are guilty
Problem is conformity
Your friends hop off a ledge
Devil tempting hard to go off with them
You want to do drugs
That path leads to
Death, bad health, and/or addiction
So I try to walk
That narrow path
Right to Jesus
Don’t want to conform
I don’t want to be average
I want to be great
Be more like God above me
Let me tell a story
About a student named Christopher
UMiami hurricane
But lately he been going
Through a tropical depression
Rain fell
The flood came
But he did not fall
Now he praising Jesus
His foundation and his rock
Stigma used to keep him from counseling
But now he realizing
That’s shortsighted like
Myopia with astigmatism
Counseling is only for the crazy
That’s the biggest lie
It’s where the stigma lies
Y’all should stigmatize
People committing suicide
People taking drugs to feel more alive
Only then to die
Oh, and did I mention?
There still ain’t any stigma
Surrounding Jesus Christ
It’s more a lack of interest
Or a lack of commitment
They’d rather party
Enjoy Miami
(Bringing the heat... uh)
Got to stop popping bottles
Popping pills
Got to pop that bread of life
The only thing that truly satisfies
And don’t use your intellect
As an excuse
Talking about:
“I just believe in sciences”
Numerous scientific research studies postulate
Religion makes you happier
Prayer makes you happier
It’s the only science that Chris cares about
Doesn’t want to end up in another dead dude’s whereabouts
Jesus took Chris
From nearly suicidal
To fittest of survival
Now Satan be his only rival
So, if you’re trying to slay those demons like Kid Cudder
Jesus is the king
He defeated every demon and the devil
When he died on the cross and resurrected
He defeated death and every mental infection
To Him be all the glory and the power
I’m blessed even
To be a part of His kingdom
All you got to do is
Open up and pray to Him
Stay consistent
Follow through with action

[Outro]
Now, boy, look here
And tell me something real quick
Have you heard the good news?!
