We are the people that had it rough
Never was easy, but it was tough
We got fed up and we had enough
Now we rejoice
Comfortable now with my state of mind
Out of the dark, on my way to shine
Get in my way and you'll get a fine
You make a choice
This is for everyone that doubted
We rejoicin' 'cause we lived to tell about, hey!
Happy we got that shit rerouted
And now it's time to yell and scream about it, hey!
Even though I'm a single mom and I do it all by myself
All that drama bad for my health, I'm just maximizin' my wealth (Wealth)
Even though I was all outside, now I'm ridin' real stealth
I don't play the cards that I'm dealt, I'll just beat yo' ass with my belt (Belt)
Even though I was a black sheep, back then it wasn't that sweet
They say, "Don't leave", like Blackstreet, but I ran away like a track meet, I mean a athlete
Can't compete, nor compare, it's a fact, see
Because you puff like crack, weak, test my gangsta, it'll be a rap sheet
Even though I wear my heart on my sleeve, only a fool thinks I'm naive
Snatch my energy is guranteed to watch you beg and plead
Water seeds, my crops pop, now I'm workin' with ease, so take heed
Fall in a hole you thought you dug for me, please believe
Even though I was hacked in the nightmare
It took over me like Linda Blair
Had to adapt and rebuke it with a silent prayer
Meditate into the night air
Yes, I'm happy, happy to be mentally fucked up
We made it through the fire, babe
I said, I'm happy, happy to be mentally fucked up
And headed to the brighter day
Yes, I'm happy, happy to be mentally fucked up
We made it through the fire, babe
I said, I'm happy, happy to be mentally fucked up
And headed to the brighter day
Even though the sports plot failed, thought I was really gonna box well
Till that day I got knocked, fell, and saw not heaven and got hell!
Even though I can barely see but don't got brail
Even though I drank Caribou Lou for decades till I heard Doc yell, "Get on mocktails!"
Even though I used to spark locs, wearin' red on my Start' coat
Even though my love letters used to be heartfelt, I got heart broke
Even though I do not swim where the sharks float like smart folk
I did dumb shit in school and all the people laughed at me like a fart joke
Even though I had a beeper, all that called me was tweakers
Chyeah, chyeah
Even though when at school, for blows, the girl topped me off under bleachers
Chyeah
Even though my mother boyfriend came in drunk at night and then beat her
Even though I visited mom in psychiatric wards after havin' grand mal seizures
Even though I got people switchin' on me
Ain't never hearin' none of that bring me back, you pitchin' homie
Even though I been gettin' lonely, dissin' phonies
Givin off positive energy is my mission' only
Yes, I'm happy, happy to be mentally fucked up
We made it through the fire, babe
I said, I'm happy, happy to be mentally fucked up
And headed to the brighter day
Yes, I'm happy, happy to be mentally fucked up
We made it through the fire, babe
I said, I'm happy, happy to be mentally fucked up
And headed to the brighter day
Even though this place seems so cursed, gotta make my way see no church
Heaven ain't this grey, evil lurks, hesitate to stay, can it be worse?
Man, the voices are deafenin', so the choices I make are forsaken and threatenin'
Ever-ready like Techanin, 'cause the ex that I left is upset like Coretta King
Yeah, aye, expose the turbulence slow
Let that burn a hole in yo' soul, big pill, take a swill, conceal, then let it go (Go)
Got kids to raise, so I spit till my last breath
Baby mama wanna get paid, no K, audit me like the IRS?
Even though everything, everywhere, all at once, no shit but the kitchen sink
Gonna self diagnose through the pain and the nightmares, no time for an **** to blink
It's all crazy talkin', stranger than things in Hawkins
Instant madness
Better not look away, the insane is callin'
Stop livin' in persistent sadness
Even even though we gotta smile through the bullshit
Even though they act wild in the pulpit
Even though they watch me through the whole store
Even though I'm papi, she could still ho
Even though I got fans, they can still burn
Even though I got plans, they can still turn
Even though they take aim to scar us
I'ma still keep the flame, Dracarys!
Yes, I'm happy, happy to be mentally fucked up
We made it through the fire, babe
I said, I'm happy, happy to be mentally fucked up
And headed to the brighter day
Yes, I'm happy, happy to be mentally fucked up
We made it through the fire, babe
I said, I'm happy, happy to be mentally fucked up
And headed to the brighter day
