And [B] everything I do and [C] everything I try, [Bm] it never turns [C] out.

[B] Hey Mike, [C] we've been noticing you've [B] been having a lot of problems [C] lately.
[B] Maybe get [C] away.
[B] Maybe you should [C] talk about it.
You'll feel a lot better.
I go, No, it's [B] okay.

You're the one who's crazy.
It [Ab] is what you're doing.

[A] It is what [B] you're doing.
It's in me [C] and in this room.
You're saying, Well, if you want to, you're the [B] only one who can get me in.
But I'm not going to take [C] these problems.
I've got to be [B] myself.
[C] I sit in [B] my room, [C] and I'm staring [B] at the wall, thinking [C] about everything.
I'm sitting down, thinking about nothing.
And then my mom came in, and I didn't [B] even know she was there.
[C] Called my [B] name, and I didn't hear her.
[C] And I started screaming, [B] Mike, Mike.
[C] And I go, What?
[B] What's the matter?
[C] She goes, What's the matter [B] with you?
I [Cm] go, Listen, Mom, [B] Mom.
She goes, Don't [C] tell me that.
[B] You're on drugs.
[Cm] I go, No, [Bm] Mom.
I'm not on drugs.
[C] I'm okay.
I'm just [B] thinking, you know.
[C] Why don't you give me a pep [B] talk?
She goes, [C] No, you're on [B] drugs.
I [E] go, Mom, I'm [B] okay.
I'm just [C] thinking.

I [C] go, People don't act that [B] way.
I [C] go, Mom, [B] just give me a Pepsi, [C] please.
All I want is [B] a Pepsi.
[C] And she wasn't [B] kidding to me.
[C] All I wanted was a Pepsi.
Just one Pepsi.
And [C] she wasn't kidding to me.
Just a Pepsi.
She was good with a drink.
Not really like the way I [B] see it.
70-80, 70-90.
It's [F] just work, though.
She's [Gb] right.
I'm [A] not pregnant.
[Ab] Here's the result.
You're the one that's [A] pregnant.
Here's the [Gb] result.
You've got to be pregnant.
[Ab] Here's the result.
[B] It's a man, [C] and it's still a [C] confederal office.
I'm the only person that you can get in.
You can't get me in [B] my cell.
[C] I was sitting in my [B] room.
My [C] mom and my dad came [B] in.
They [C] pulled up the chair and they sat down.
There was a light.
He [B] didn't talk to you.
[C] I go, [B] Okay, what's the matter?
[C] He goes, [B] You and your mom, [C] we've noticed lately
you've been having a lot of problems.
And you've [Bm] been going out for [D] no reason.
And [B] we're afraid you're going to [C] hurt somebody.
[B] And we're afraid you're going [C] to hurt yourself.
[B] So we [E] decided [B] that if you're near [C] a fetal distance,
[Bm] if we put you [C] somewhere where you can get the [B] help that you [C] need,
I [B] go, [C] Wait, what are you [B] talking about?
[C] We [B] decided [C] my best [B] interest, [C] how do you know what [Bm] my [C] best interest [B] is?
How [C] can you say what my best [B] interest is?
[C] What are you trying to say?
I'm crazy?
When I went to your school, [B] I went [C] to your [B] churches,
I went to [B] your nursing school, [C] your learning [B] facilities.
So how can [C] you say I'm crazy?
They told me to fix [C] my face, they told me to get my [B] legs,
why did y'all make me [B] fix my hair?
I don't [C] know, I'll be [Gb] dead.
I'm not [A] crazy.
He is a genius.
[B] You're the one that's crazy.
He is a [Gb] genius.
You've got to be crazy.
[Ab] He is a genius.
[B] And they didn't make [B] me a surgeon.
They said, [C] Watch me, you're the only surgeon you can be.
And I'm not [B] going to let you [C] fuck with me.
I'm going to be myself.
That's bad.
I'm about to get hit by a car anyway.
[E] [Bbm]
[Ab] He is a genius.
[Bbm] You're the one that's crazy.
He
