Pusha T Drops 'Cocaine Bear' Remix of Melle Mel's "White Lines"

Cocaine Bear, the movie about a bear who ingests millions of dollars worth of cocaine and proceeds to embark on a wild killing spree, notably used Melle Mel's 1983 classic "White Lines (Don't Do It)" in the absolutely insane trailer. Now, Pusha T has tapped in on the fun, releasing a remix of the song along with a lyric video.

Pusha raps, “All white, all winter / Even snow in the summer / The high falling from the sky / Are you the hunted or the hunter? / I got Tennessee numbers / I sing to the key numbers / The dope boys go crazy / They know I get it out the jungle / I ain’t never been a runner / We ain’t never had to wonder / You heard the pilot lost the load / We call that Dumb And Dumber/ There’s no storm without thunder / The bear crawls up and under / Cocaine overload.”

The movie, directed by Elizabeth Banks, features a lot of heavy hitters including a reunion of The Americans with Keri Russell, Margo Martindale and Matthew Rhys, as well as the last performance from Ray Liotta. Of course, the real star here is the high out of its mind bear, which is based on a real bear who ate 40 pounds worth of cocaine that was tossed out of a plane. That bear, however, did not go on a geeked-up murderous rampage — it just died, sadly. The body of the "cocaine bear" was eventually acquired by Kentucky-based gift shop brand Kentucky For Kentucky.

Cocaine Bear hits theaters Feb. 23.
