Just say...yes.

My friend and I used to get excited and sing it; we were both 12 and didn't know jack about drugs. (Her parents didn't use, and I saw my mom smoke weed and I merely preached about 'lungs turning black'.) She later told me a few of her longtime friends got into coke in the 80s, but she hated it and didn't allow it to be used in our home. It took a few years for me to realize 'White Lines' addressed one of the most devastating epidemics of the 80s. Now we have the opioid crisis. I'm a prescription-painkiller statistic. Maybe someday I'll write a song about those years in active addiction. It IS 'hard as hell to fight it'.

Smurf is the word...

Great song back in tge 80's. This had to be the theme song for cocaine bear.

Reminds me so much of my youth. We used to line up all night long at Bar 1 in my hometown of Hartford, Connecticut. Great times.

I don't remember ever seeing this on Mtv. I heard from Basquiat soundtrack. Thanks for posting.

Long life to the old skool!

This always got me on the dance floor🤣

For my friends & I in the '80's- This was an anthem not an anti-drug song. We played this when we got high!

I still love this jam all these years later

Y’all was wild back then yo. I’m 21 now and I just always try to wonder what y’all was on before I was born 😂

Wish I had aged as well as this tune, what a classic! .. I was 17 when it was hit here in the UK, where did the years go? 😢

OMG, so many of us at dance clubs really had no idea what this was about - it was just such a great danceable song in the 80s!........#happyandclueless

Seriously? It says "freebase!" in the chorus! LOL It wasn't about base jumping! LOLLLZZ

Classic will never die

It's sad to me to find ppl who have no idea about older hiphop

Like a lot of you .... my first exposure to rap. NYC was getting lit by the coke epidemic. Timely man and an awesome track. Many memories.
