We get high to escape our minds
And die young but we dont know why
This life has never left us satisfied
Got no more tears to cry
The kids aren't alright
I’m moving on with what's left of me
A broken heart and a memory
Our heroes fall and our friends do too
I pray this all would change
I pray for me and you

She was only 17
She had only just begun
She was trying to escape
She was tryin to have some fun
Mac was only 26
Peep was only 21
All of em still way too young
For the 27 club
Rest in peace to all the legends
Rest in peace to all my friends
Man for every one celeb
Its 50,000 others dead
You won't ever hear their name
And that sure don’t help the pain
Cause when you love someone that's gone
All of the grieving feels the same
I'm tired of hoping things will change
And I've been tryin to keep my head up through this rain
I hate the feeling that my friends all died in vain
I hate that culture kills our icons off with fame
The kids are crackin under burdens we're carrying
But nobody wants to talk until its time to go bury em
Lose so many by the day man the statistics are harrowing
But the profits been stackin since they first legalized heroin
