"Purple drank" is a slang term for a recreational drug popular in the hip hop community in the southern United States. Its main ingredients are prescription-strength cough syrup containing codeine and promethazine, mixed with a soft drink and some hard candy to improve its flavor. The purplish hue of purple drank, and thus its name, comes from dyes in the cough syrup.

Here are the ingredients of "Lean", a variant of "Purple Drank". Look familiar?

That might explain why TM missed 53 days of school his last year.

He came down with a lot of colds from being out there in that notorious Florida sunshine with its warm nights and wasn't well enough to make it to school.
