Lyrics:
Ayy, you know I keep that candy, yeah
I need more like Mandy, yeah
Stay up, take addies, yeah
I'm tryna fix this damage, yeah
You know I keep that candy, yeah
I need more like Mandy, yeah
Stay up, take addies, yeah
I'm tryna fix this damage, yeah
I'm in my head again, I took more medicine
Ripped up the parts from my heart and my chest again
···
Ayy, fuck it, I was raised like that
So I guess I never really changed like that
I be takin' shots to the brain like that
Blacked out drunk and I came like that
Help for me to get through all the pain like that
Yeah, driving through the rain like that
Running from the fame like that
On the front page like that
I'ma go insane like
···
You know I keep that candy, yeah
I need more like Mandy, yeah
Stay up, take addies, yeah
I'm tryna fix this damage, yeah
You know I keep that candy, yeah
I need more like Mandy, yeah
Stay up, take addies, yeah
I'm tryna fix this damage, yeah
I'm in my head again, I took more medicine
Ripped up the parts from my heart and my chest again
···
Huh, my bitch taste like candy, yeah
Play with death like I'm Billie & Mandy, yeah
I keep the chopper in the fanny, yeah
Make a fuck nigga sleep like a Xanny, yeah
On the beach, chilling where it's sandy, yeah
Just bought a whip for my granny, yeah
Fucked her raw, hit her with a Plan B, yeah
Bitch, I'm on, put that on my mammy, yeah
···
You know I keep that candy, yeah
I need more like Mandy, yeah
Stay up, take addies, yeah
I'm tryna fix this damage, yeah
You know I keep that candy, yeah
I need more like Mandy, yeah
Stay up, take addies, yeah
I'm tryna fix this damage, yeah
I'm in my head again, I took more medicine
Ripped up the parts from my heart and my chest again

We need an interview where the interviewer just reads all the comments to him where we tell him that we love him and he has to take a break and stuff cause I feel like he doesn’t even get all of those

[@sophvdh8831]

There is one like this on apple music: "The Machine Gun Kelly Interview - Zane Lowe." He tells him to get help and I genuinely think it makes an impact on his mindset. 13 minutes in if you have the chance to listen

I always knew mgk could spit but never bought an album or recommended him to friends for years i thought he was in a lane for rowdy white boys but this last album he just came out with really changed my perspective on him.. most underrated album of the year hands DOWN.. p.s. i think he got the edge in the Eminem beef too

[@Jaguar2kicks]

iPath23 he can do what Em can’t do and that is make rock music sound good, Em tried and failed. Nothing against Em either just saying that he is one dimensional artist. Still a really great lyricists but some days I just feel like taking out a blunt and smoke even though I don’t smoke

He's talking about taking drugs like candy. That's not the best message, yes, but he's honest, singing from his heart, and writing what he knows. Being able to write a true story and being able to be able to express yourself is something that not a lot of people dare to do. I don't think he's saying "Hey kids, you should take drugs" but he's simply sharing his personal experiences.
