I hit you as hard as barbiturates

from Yasiin Bey (Ft. Black Thought & Eminem) – BET Cypher Lyrics on Rap Genius

Barbiturates are very powerful central nervous system depressants that were prescribed for a wide variety of conditions, especially in the 70s and 80s. Today, they have been largely replaced by the less-dangerous benzodiazepines

Em knows just how hard barbiturates can hit; he was addicted to pills for years
