What do these lyrics in the Rihanna song "Diamonds" mean?

Palms rise to the universe

as we moonshine and molly...

What does the "moonshine and molly" part mean? I tried looking it up, and it would appear to refer to drug use, but that doesn't really fit in with the rest of the song.

So I wanted to be more sure of what it means before I let my kid listen to the song any more.

Thanks for any help.

    "As we drink and get high" As a slang expression,

    Moonshine is an alcoholic drink and molly is pure MDMA (ecstasy).

    And you shouldn't really care what you kids hear in songs (unless they are really young, 10 years old and younger. I learned street slang in a PRIVATE high school;you cant hide kids from the real world forever), I grew up listening gangster rap and heavy metal and im one of the most outgoing and nicest teens you would ever meet. Its just music,
