Read the full Fentanyl lyrics by Knox Hill along with the music video, song credits, release information and other details about the song.

[Verse 1: Knox Hill, Knox Hill & Ren]
Conscious rap was vibing, but they said it wasn’t selling
So instead of Tribe, the quest, it was for highs, I guess I get it
But we sold the De La Soul’s and reassigned the proper metrics
Violent raps survived and opened eyes to profit zealots
Survival of the fittest
Trade your bars for gems and you’ll be shining, that’s the realest
In this climate of addiction stock, Big Pharma is the realest
Now as long as pills are filling, you ain’t really gotta feel this, so
The world is full of juice and while you’re floating, you can feel it drown
How many rappers out here missing out?
But they sell you with this vision and this fear of missing out, yeah
The industry will fu*k us (True), so we follow what is trending
Brag about these hollow tips, but it’s all hollow, tip the pen in
I lace my verse with fentanyl and lean into attention
Toe tags for the mentions, body bags for what they spending
While they bragging, we descend and from the ground, we’re all descendants now

[Chorus: Ren]
Sinners don’t sleep in this broken town
Trading their souls for some gold and brown
Feel the release, come back down
But we’re not coming up
Killers on the city streets, buying it up
Crooks and addicts, weird habits get rushed
We living in vain just to end it all
And I spend it all on the fentanyl

[Verse 2: Knox Hill]
My cousin was a pitcher, on that curve, he got that scholarship
On campus, he’s the man, throwing heaters, he was hot as s*it
But then he hurt his arm, senior year, it’s time to prove it
Started taking painkillers so he could play and keep it moving
Scouts watching, couldn’t lose ’em
So he took more and he kept using, ‘fore he knew it, he’s abusing
Fastballs and two seams, too clean, but now he’s losing weight
Drug testing failed, so they kicked him off the team

He tried to kick the habit, but he’s mad that he had lost his dreams
And sad that he got off the league, but all it takes is one reminder
In his mind, he couldn’t help it, he was tryna finally settle
Midnight, he went outside, he was fighting with his devils
“One hit”, he told himself, “It’ll help me through this hell
I know I’m sick and I need help, but one hit, man, what the hell?”
So he lit it, then he took it to the face, yeah
But as the story goes, you know that fentanyl was laced

[Chorus: Ren]
Sinners don’t sleep in this broken town
Trading their souls for some gold and brown
Feel the release, come back down
But we’re not coming up
Killers on the city streets, buying it up
Crooks and addicts, weird habits get rushed
We living in vain just to end it all
And I spend it all on the fentanyl

[Verse 3: Knox Hill, Knox Hill & Ren]
Took my heart, you took my fu*king life
Took my pride, you took my mind, took who I am and turned to vice
Took my fam, I paid the price and now I stand on murdered time
And my plans have turned to ice
I’m burning fire, build this pyre higher
I’m wired and this dopamine get higher, still a broken fiend, supplier
Of the hopeless dreams, when it’s all smoke, the only ropes are one that chokes
Will they remember me? Take all my memories and light them on this fire
Fire for the crooked dealer, he who packaged hate
Fire for that greedy villain, he who had it laced
Fire for my future, that look on my father’s face
My mother’s still in tears, my cousin, he’s too far away
When they told me to get help and yes, I tried, I tried again
But in the end, we’re all just vains
And in the end, it came to veins and in the end, I died in vain
And in the end, I tried to- Fu*k it

[Outro: Knox Hill]
*Crying*
Oh, God
(Samad, cook it up, yeah)
