I'm a schizophrenic, Sick demented*
Not quite what my Dad intended*
So segmented, Black but blended*
White half craves hallucigenics*
Love my image, hate my limits*
Even when I'm out in Kemet*
Whip I bend it, Crib I rent it's*
Only til the album's finished*
Once it drops*
Get a big ole plot with a boat or yacht*
So we can party all night and never know the cops*
Cause I'm out way out where the road it stops*
Call my hippy friends tell them grow their crops*
Was a voice inside told me grow my locks*
Another voice inside told me hold a glock*
So I don't get done like them Indians*
Where you been?*
All the whites got hyped and they did em in*
Gave em all good books like Gideons*
With a little bit a gin in them*
Now they actin like friends to them*
It's a masquerade tell me when it ends*
Cause even I gotta play pretend just to make some ends and it makes me cringe*
Chorus:
This world is crazy*
So hard to stay me*
Was born a lion, feel I'm dyin, how'd they tame me*
Crazy*
Heaven Save me*
I try to fight it but God I can feel em change me*
Wanna talk about changes*
Wann be rich famous tell the world your name is*
As a young boy felt this life was aimless*
Gotta rearrange this*
So I flipped through pages*
Read the latest sages*
While I said my prayers*
Hoping to open some higher layers*
Never met the teacher*
Still I studied life through the eyes of preachers*
My Mom's evangelist, her Dad's evangelist*
Trust me it gets deeper*
Then came Cheeba*
I'm a change the whole world cause I'm a dreamer*
Grown folks look at me nod and smile and say*
Yeah kid we believe ya*
I could feel em doubt me*
Crack an evil grin, ya'll don't know nil about me*
I'm 4 dimensional, Exponential pull*
Spirits they surround me*
So it was for a good while*
Til I flipped my script of up on some hood style*
My slang changed, wanna bang things*
Was clearly a confused child*
Til Pops pulled me over said*
Ooo Child things are gonna get easier*
Just be yourself, gotta free yourself*
From the things you see in the media*
Then I looked at what they's feeding us*
Gotta flash the flash misleading us*
All they highlight is the street in us*
And it's keepin us from achieving love*
