This is an honest confession about his own struggles with substance abuse, peer pressure, and the dark side of fame. What started as simple experimentation with drugs turned into a troubled path that pushed him to face his demons and choose rehabilitation&mdash;for the sake of his partner, his son, and his family.
In one touching verse, he raps, &ldquo;Sabik na 'kong gawin 'yung halikan ka pagkagaling ng rehab. Hindi sapat sa akin na ika&rsquo;y yakapin lang. 'Yung tamang panahon ay darating din basta kapit lang.&rdquo;
Through &ldquo;Rehab,&rdquo; Shanti Dope challenges the shame that often surrounds recovery. He shows that rehabilitation is not weakness, but a sign of strength and courage. The song is for anyone battling addiction and personal struggles, reminding them that they are not alone, that asking for help is okay, and that change is always possible.&nbsp;
