Gucci Mane, born Radric Davis Jr, is a Southern hip-hop and “trap” artist from Atlanta, Georgia.

On September 22nd, 2013, he released this succession of tweets explaining his long-term addiction to the drug “lean” (prescription promethazine cough syrup), apologizing for his recent string of erratic actions and vowing to get the help he needed to stay clean.

Rap Genius would like to acknowledge and honor Big Guwop for having the personal strength to admit his faults and to seek help in battling this addiction, which has killed other legends of the Dirty South.

I've been drinking lean for 10+ years & I must admit it has destroyed me. I wanna be the first rapper to admit, I'm addicted to lean & that shit ain't no joke. I can barely remember all the things I've done & said. However there's no excuse. Gucci Mane – Tweets About Lean

Drinking promethazine-codeine cough syrup (lean, or as they used to call it, “sizzurp”) has powerful sedative effects, reduces nausea, and causes an intense high as the promethazine represses nervousness and anxieties (promethazine is actually prescribed for this purpose in some European countries)
However, the drug can also cause confusion, irritability, unpleasant tickling sensations in the skin (similar to the feeling of a limb “falling asleep,” the technical term for this is paresthesia) and in some cases seizures. Additionally, lean disrupts memory recall while it’s in the body, which Gucci Mane alludes to here.
Mac Miller and Lil Wayne are two other rappers that have admitted having problems with lean. Additionally, Johnny Jolly (defensive end for the Green Bay Packers) and JaMarcus Russel (former Oakland Raiders quarterback) have both faced legal problems for possession of promethazine and codeine.
And of course, lean can be fatally dangerous to those who overdose or do it far too frequently-it killed DJ Screw and his longtime affiliate Big Moe, and Pimp C of UGK suffocated in his sleep due to the medication in his system combined with his sleep apnea.

.357 and .44 are different calibers (sizes) of bullets that handguns take. The first sign that you’re in the hood anywhere in America is the gun shops on the corners.

Back in the days, where gun violence was at max in New York. You can literally buy a gun from a corner store, secretly they sell them in the back.

I’m gonna explain everything here for real when I get famous but basically one morning in science class I was hungover as shit and heard the word “pigments” as “pig mints” and this song happened over the course of the next month.

The current recording is stupid rough.
