Uh-huh, yup, okay, whatever
Don't try to talk to me like you know what this is
Yeah, I know I might have symptoms that are familiar to you, but, I got this
Thanks anyway
Don't let this eat me alive
I only can see this world from the inside
And I'm holdin' it inside
Feel like I can cock it back and let it go
And nothin's makin' sense
And I have no patience for anything
So I'm goin' on everything
Somebody get me out of here
You don't see what I see
So how the hell you gonna stop these voices?
In my head, that got me awfully rocky, do you copy? (Yeah)
Traumatized much, from homicide, what?
Don't wanna flip, but mama I must be the one that I trust
I ain't got no friend, I ain't got no grin (yeah)
But I'm macho when I lock, load, and I block foes in (yeah)
When I stop souls in a rock, hold, I'ma drop those sins (yeah)
In a box so slim, inside of my nog' grows grim (yeah)
My hurt, it goes deep (ah), I serve and go weep (ah)
A vertical leap when you're alert in your sleep (ah)
Was a word of a treatment, somebody murdered more peace
Inside of my third, it's so bleak
Done so much dirt I grow leaf to chief
Don't let this eat me alive
I only can see this world from the inside
And I'm holdin' it inside
Feel like I can cock it back and let it go
And nothin's makin' sense
And I have no patience for anything
So I'm goin' on everything
Somebody get me out of here
I'm thinkin' about my lady, is she doin' somethin' shady?
Like havin' dudes around my baby, situations got me crazy (yeah)
Brainiac in subjects (yeah), but a maniac in public (yeah)
Where they train me at is insane, we sat with no zany act
We in thuggish mode, feelin' my love is cold
In about a minute I'ma flip my top, gonna watch my mug explode (yeah)
What I need right now from a lady is a kiss and a hug, it shows (yeah)
Got a grudge, it holds, God bless my rugged soul (yeah)
But I got it, I'm stable, I'm for real, and I'm willin' and able
Got you feelin' I'm ill, and I'm crazed
Go get the manic depressant pill on the table
What'll keep me cool is a good birthday for my baby girl
'Til that time I'm dealin' with my mind
And trippin' up with the crime in this crazy world
Don't let this eat me alive
I only can see this world from the inside
And I'm holdin' it inside
Feel like I can cock it back and let it go
And nothin's makin' sense
And I have no patience for anything
So I'm goin' on everything (yeah)
Somebody get me out of here
Look in my eyes
You can probably see the crazy feats of danger that I've survived
Don't wanna relive 'em
If you make me, then I get livid, I might just go commit a crime
I can feel 'em starin' at me all crazy
Like they don't understand what I be s-sayin'
But you ain't seen death
Man, I been awake for seven days, and I just cannot stop shakin'
So now I'm 'bout to take another shot
And try to battle all my demons, can't let 'em win
I'ma take a semi-automatic into my dream
And pop shots 'til they all drop to the end
And that was goin' fine
'Til I had a small flashback, and they all started risin' from the dead
And now they start to double and double, and this shit's overwhelmin'
But I gotta find an exit quick
My psychiatrist told me I ain't got no hope
I ain't got no pills that I can pop to cope
Just need to buckle down, and try to battle it out
And try to dodge the shit that they about to throw
I know I put in the hours
But it still feels like I got a loose grip on my skill set
But fuck it
I know I gotta get a grip on my head if I'm really 'bout to do this
All or nothin', man, I gotta give it all I got
One shot, gotta make this shit count, I'm on the clock
Watch, my shit tockin'
Sweat drippin' from the top of my head fallin' to my eyes
So God, please help me do my best
Then pop, there's a hole in my bullet-proof vest
Shot to the chest man, I'm runnin' out of breath
But I can't leave this world 'til I lay this shit to rest, ah
Don't let this eat me alive
I only can see this world from the inside
And I'm holdin' it inside
Feel like I can cock it back and let it go
And nothin's makin' sense
And I have no patience for anything
So I'm goin' on everything
Somebody get me out of here
