[English]

I'm going crazy

I'm going out of my head

It feels like I'm going crazy

Nothing can save me

I'm goin' go through the haze

I can't stop staring out my window

Chopper and my pistol

I'm going out of my head, head

I'm exhausted, last night I lost it

Let the homie's get loose

I'm sure Ima get the lawsuit, Nana called

My granddaddy coughing up blood

Got an infection, the cycle of life just sucks

I bet when he die, she die, just because

They been together 60 years, that's what they call love

Paid for my first cousin wedding, over 200 grand

Then two kids and six years later, he's the wrong man

I woke up this morning, really wasn't feeling myself

Thought about suicide, but me, I ain't killing myself

My cousin Corey shot his girlfriend

Then shot himself in the head

Before I shoot myself, I'm shooting everyone else kid

My head aching, my hands shaking, I'm sweating bullets

And it ain't even hot in this bitch, I'm going through it

My mind playing tricks on me, I mean, shit homie

I might need a strait jacket fit for me

It feels like I'm going crazy

Nothing can save me

I'm goin' go through the haze

I can't stop staring out my window

Chopper and my pistol

I'm going out of my head, head

My favorite uncle Roc got twisted

'Til that liquor gave him sugar

Had complications once or twice

That shit fucked up his liver, to me he's still the man

Cause see me, I still remember that lil' snorkel

He bought me to stay warm that December

I was sleeping in the basement, the window had a draft

Even with the electric heater, I was freezing my ass

I got some money now, so if I die before him

Ima leave it to him, he can have a fine nurse

Put that insulin needle to him

Called my son twice, he ain't picking up the phone

And Banks, me and him don't even talk no more

You know 'cause of me, he ain't never have to sell crack

Never used no knife, or had to squeeze no strap

But if I go tonight, I bet you I'm hellbound

For cocaine distribution and letting off MAC rounds

Home invasion robberies, we ran in that crack house

Took them niggas paper and all of they packs out

It feels like I'm going crazy

Nothing can save me

I'm goin' go through the haze

I can't stop staring out my window

Chopper and my pistol

I'm going out of my head, head

Then I was in the second row

The second time Em married Kim

Looking at Proof like

"How much you think this gon' cost them?"

Feels like a set up, Shaniqua's being nice to me

I rather a nigga just put a knife in me

Than go through the emotions

The confusion and commotions

Never die down in my head, they keep going

It feels like I'm God's punching bag on occasions

Amazing, on other days I feel like I'm his favorite

I never bite my tongue, I just call a spade a spade

When life feeding me lemons, I just make lemonade

My nana beat cancer, it came back for a rematch

Life without my old girl, I couldn't see that

My grandpa was the strongest

Then he broke down and I broke down

I looked around, like if shit go bad

Now who am I gon' go to now? That was his partner

See he knew everything about her

Now he's saying he don't wanna live without her

It feels like I'm going crazy

Nothing can save me

I'm goin' go through the haze

I can't stop staring out my window

Chopper and my pistol

I'm going out of my head, head
