[Verse 1: Vinnie Paz]
The weight on my shoulders is like cargo
And I don't wanna know how deeply that my scars go
It's like the Fetus in the Womb by Leonardo
They got me feeling like Buscemi out in Fargo
As a kid I would just stare up at the stars though
And pray that eventually I'd have a God's flow
Remember riding in my father's Monte Carlo
Two months later he dead, now I'm in a fog, broke
Papi, Mami, I love you, but what do you do when there's trouble?
How do you process that life is a beautiful struggle?
I could end it fucking all without moving a muscle
And I'm too old to let the left hook loose in a scuffle
How do I deal with the designation to be ill?
As far as Marciano, separation isn't real
I don't believe in the philosophy that schism kill
Cause every time I kiss my son, it warm my inner chill
[Chorus: Rite Hook]
I'm trying to stay sane in this game, it ain't easy, hey
I done made my own lane and I swear you'll believe me, hey
I live in this world full of anger and pain
And nobody is safe in this place, not my God or me
Try to stay sane, it ain't easy, hey
[Verse 2: Rite Hook]
Nothing's equivalent to the deep brain I was given
And what I'm giving is something for you to sit and figure
The derivative of it even if you can love it
Most of them hate it but fuck 'em
You can suck my dick when it's uncovered
Son, everyone under the sun
Where it's coming from, it's someone close to living with nothing
I been dealing with it, no one said I can't be livid about it
Just paint my fucking canvas with the pictures I'm hearing about
Been sinking every day of my life
It's getting older, couple mill' man, damn it'd be nice
How many shows do I gotta fucking murder?
Put my heart in to make a splash
The industry is like a sea of infinity of blatant trash (Ha!)
All I can do is laugh at it
While I'm struggling with sobriety like a classic addict
Someone call the record labels and let 'em know
That I don't give a fuck if I make it or never blow
[Chorus: Rite Hook]
I'm trying to stay sane in this game, it ain't easy, hey
I done made my own lane and I swear you'll believe me, hey
I live in this world full of anger and pain
And nobody is safe in this place, not my God or me
Try to stay sane, it ain't easy, hey
[Verse 3: Slaine]
Feel the hellfire, the heaven on you
Think someday I'll reach my dreams but I'm never gonna
I got a screw loose, and a deuce-deuce
You got some more lies, I got some new truths
When the hellfire comes and it's burning ya
You either find out that you was or it weren't in ya
I'm still fucked, sleeping on my friend's furniture
But I stay determined 'cause I know what I can turn into
They told me that I couldn't do what I did
I saw the future, I just knew as a kid
I would visualize the life that I grew up to live
When you listen to me rhyme, I tell you who the fuck is
The legend rebel, the peasant devil
The high court MC, smash anyone against me with heavy metal
My balls are big enough to break walls at every level
My music call kids from all towns and every ghetto
I'm an anomaly, mommy, nobody's calming me or
Stopping my lyrics from spreading, I'm more like gonorrhea
Life isn't easy, is it
When all you see's a blizzard
I'm going back to demic
I think I need a visit
[Chorus: Rite Hook]
I'm trying to stay sane in this game, it ain't easy, hey
I done made my own lane and I swear you'll believe me, hey
I live in this world full of anger and pain
And nobody is safe in this place, not my God or me
Try to stay sane, it ain't easy, hey
