Riff: Wiz Khalifa feat. Chevy Woods & Juicy J – “Medicated”

Dec 3, 2012

Back when I was young I had dreams of gettin’ richer/Then my homie Breeze sat me down and schooled me to the picture/I was with some wild niggas

from Medicated lyrics by Wiz Khalifa

Sentimentality is not one of Wiz’s strong points, but he manages to touch upon some rich emotions here. His vulnerability is raw and without limits, which makes his quasi-Hendrix inspired album cover somewhat apropos. Is he a rock star? No, just a young talented lyricist gone seriously awry.
