Hace poco, una amiga mia me mosotro una nueva cancion del artista hip-hopero Macklemore, donde habla sobre las dorgas. Varios artistas hablan sobre su expriencia y por lo que atravesaron durante todo ese proceso. Ademas, hace referencia a todas las muertes aue esta droga esta generando y como estas se estan expandiendo por todos lados, (el hace refererencia a la droga en los Estados Unidos).
Luego de leer la letra de la cancion, y hacerle un analisis personal, pude sacar diferentes teorias o conclusiones sobre la droga. Esta sustancia, la cual se ve como algo prohibido por muchos lugares y mal visto por las personas, es dada por sistemas de la sociedad donde se cree generalmente que lo que hace es proteger a los individuos de una poblacion y no generar su muerte: los medicos. Estas personas son vistas como "salvadores" o como gente que cuida a las otras personas, pero en muchos casos, son las que proveen las drogas, causan las adicciones y la muerte. En la cancion, la artista Ariana Deboo, habla de como un farmaceutico o un doctor causo su adiccion con la escusa de que eso la haria curar su problema.
Se podria decir que de esta forma es como la droga se va expandiendo, y va llegando a todos los sectores de la sociedad. Hasta los sectores de la sociedad quienes son los que supuestamente deben buscar el mejoramiento de la vida de las personas, cuidando su salud, en muchos casos son las que causan lo contrario. Asi podria ser una forma de que las drogas se conviertan en socialmente aceptadas, ya que se estan expandiendo por todos los sectores del mundo y estan causando cada vez mas muertes o problemas.
Cancion de macklemore: "Drug Dealer"
[Macklemore:]
They said it wasn't a gateway drug
My homie was takin' subs and he ain't wake up
The whole while, these billionaires, stay caked up
Paying out congress so we take their drugs
Murderers who will never face the judge
And we dancin' to a song about our face goin' numb
But I seen homies turn grey, noses draining blood
I could've been gone, out 30's, faded in that tub
That's Prince, Michael and Whitney, that's Amy, Ledger and Pimp C
That's Yams, that's DJ A.M
God damn they're making a killing
Now it's getting attention cause Sara, Katey and Billy
But this shit's been going one from Seattle out to South Philly
It just moved out about the city
And spread out to the 'burbs
Now it's everybody's problem, got a nation on the verge
Take Activis off the market, jack the price up on the syrup
But Purdue Pharma's 'bout to move that work
[Ariana DeBoo:]
My drug dealer was a doctor, doctor
Had the plug from Big Pharma, Pharma
He said that he would heal me, heal me
But he only gave me problems, problems
My drug dealer was a doctor, doctor
Had the plug from Big Pharma, Pharma
I think he trying to kill me, kill me
He tried to kill me for a dollar, dollar
[Macklemore:]
And these devil's they keep on talkin' to me
They screamin' "open the bottle," I wanna be at peace
My hand is gripping that throttle, I'm running out of speed
Tryin' close my eyes but I keep sweatin' through these sheets, through these sheets
Four horseman, they won't let me forget
I wanna forge a prescription, cause doctor I need some more of it
When morphine and heroin is more of your a budget
I said I'd never use a needle, but sure, fuck it
I'm caught up, I'm on one, I'm nauseous
No options, exhausted
This is not what I started
Walkin' carcass, I lost everything I wanted
My blinds drawn, too gone to leave this apartment
[Ariana DeBoo:]
My drug dealer was a doctor, doctor
Had the plug from Big Pharma, Pharma
He said that he would heal me, heal me
But he only gave me problems, problems
My drug dealer was a doctor, doctor
Had the plug from Big Pharma, Pharma
I think he trying to kill me, kill me
He tried to kill me for a dollar, dollar
[Macklemore:]
More, more, more
Re-up, re-up
Death certificate signed the prenup
Ain't no coming back from this percocet
Actavis, ambien, adderral, xanax binge
Best friends with the thing that's killing me
Enemies with my best friend, there's no healing me
Refilling these, refilling these
They say it's death, death
Institutions and DOC's
So God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change
Courage to change the things I can
And the wisdom to know the difference
And the wisdom to know the difference
