Substitute Everything Lyrics

[Intro]
J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League

[Chorus]
I'm takin' pain pills, I'm takin' pain pills (Why?)
Wishin’ they can take away the pain

Smoke a lot of kush, I smoke a lot of kush (For what?)
Thinkin' I can blow away some pain
I'm sippin' codeine, I'm sippin' codeine (Why you sippin'?)
Wishin' I could slow down fame
(How you manage this lifestyle?)
I'm tryna substitute everything
I'm tryna substitute everything
I'm tryna substitute everything
I'm tryna substitute everything
I'm tryna substitute everything

[Verse 1]
Today I took a Xanny, I started missin' family
I don't see them as much, I know they feel abandoned
I'm workin 'til I pass out and they don’t understand it
From where I come from, every moment I’m tryna' take advantage
I got my prescription prescribed and then I hit the pharmacy
I got some homies that been died been on my mind, mentally
Roll up the kush, and let’s get high, and take you to a galaxy
I just wanna be in my zone, where nothin' bothers me
[Chorus]
I'm takin' pain pills, I'm takin' pain pills (Why?)
Wishin’ they can take away the pain

Smoke a lot of kush, I smoke a lot of kush (For what?)
Thinkin' I can blow away some pain
I'm sippin' codeine, I'm sippin' codeine (Why you sippin'?)
Wishin' I could slow down fame
(How you manage this lifestyle?)
I'm tryna substitute everything
I'm tryna substitute everything
I'm tryna substitute everything
I'm tryna substitute everything
I'm tryna substitute everything

[Verse 2]
I believe hard times made me like this
I don’t leave the studio, I like makin' hits
There’s some broken relationships that I can’t fix
I got bad habits I picked up, I can't kick
I need my herb, I need my syrup
Now I'm free like a bird
I make a lot of mil's, I had to pop a pill
Just to get a thrill
You don't know how I feel


[Chorus]
I'm takin' pain pills, I'm takin' pain pills (Why?)
Wishin’ they can take away the pain

Smoke a lot of kush, I smoke a lot of kush (For what?)
Thinkin' I can blow away some pain
I'm sippin' codeine, I'm sippin' codeine (Why you sippin'?)
Wishin' I could slow down fame
(How you manage this lifestyle?)
I'm tryna substitute everything
I'm tryna substitute everything
I'm tryna substitute everything
I'm tryna substitute everything
I'm tryna substitute everything
[Verse 3]
This bitch filed for Child Support like I don’t take care of my child
She want them stacks I got on me, she wanna see me down

I had to take a molly, it lift me off the ground
I watch my dreams come true, I wish my granddad see me now (Rest in peace)
I'm tryna keep everybody happy, bring in the scripts
Everything calm and collective when I'm smoking on sess
Maybe this is a sign of faith, maybe this a test
I spend a lot of money so I don’t be depressed

[Chorus]
I'm takin' pain pills, I'm takin' pain pills (Why?)
Wishin’ they can take away the pain

Smoke a lot of kush, I smoke a lot of kush (For what?)
Thinkin' I can blow away some pain
I'm sippin' codeine, I'm sippin' codeine (Why you sippin'?)
Wishin' I could slow down fame
(How you manage this lifestyle?)
I'm tryna substitute everything
I'm tryna substitute everything
I'm tryna substitute everything
I'm tryna substitute everything
I'm tryna substitute everything

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
