Another lyric is being discussed online and Chris Brown is setting the record straight. In 2019, Brown delivered his acclaimed album Indigo, along with its extended version. The latter hosted "Under The Influence," a sultry track that soon became a fan favorite. Just three weeks ago, Breezy delivered the visual to the single, and it caused fans to revisit the song's lyrics.
On the track, Brown compares being intoxicated to a sexual experience. It was long thought that he said: "F*ckin' Robitussin / I don't know why this sh*t got me lazy right now, yeah / Can't do Percocets or Molly (Molly) / I'm turnin' one, tryna live it up here right, right, right."

Social media flew into a frenzy as Brown found himself a trending topic—albeit this time, nothing controversial. Fans expressed their surprise at the lyric being different than they believed, but Brown was quick to return to clear the air.
