It was all love 'til the drugs took a hold of her
First it was liquor then it was weed
Then next came the wet then the syrup and V's, E's
Oxy Contin, she poppin' them pills
from Cassidy (Ft. Angie Stone) – Leanin' on the Lord Lyrics on Rap Genius
Meaning
She was a lovely girl, friendly, kind, helpful, all those good qualities people look for in humans… but then she started using drugs to cope with her issues, and drugs can really change a person for the worse.
These are the drugs she had tried;
- Wet = PCP; Was used as a horse tranquilizer. Makes the user hallucinate, become extremely violent, and not feel anything. People have been known to do horrible things to themselves while under the influence of PCP.
- Syrup = Purple Drank; It’s made with: Promethazine w/Codeine VC, Soda and Jolly Ranchers. The codeine is mainly responsible for the euphoric feeling after drinking lean. Promethazine causes motor skill impairment, lethargy, extreme drowsiness, as well as a disassociative feeling from all other parts of the body, specifically the stomach and digestive system.
- V’s = Valium;
A pill taken to make you feel lose and happy. Puts you out of it for a really long time. You can forget alot too… 4 days will go by so fast and you’ll think its been one big day. Makes you pretty stupid and sticks with you for a while maybe 3 days. - E’s = Ecstasy; Ecstasy is a drug that usually comes in pill form. This pill does fill the body and mind with an extreme feeling of euphoria when taken.
- Oxycontin ; Synthetic opiate used as a powerful prescription pain-killer, but also popular in rural america as an illegal and cheap narcotic to get high on.
