[ VERSE 1: Tony Rome ]
16 days and I wake up and I'm outta here
It's been hell since I got in here
Now I'm back on the streets where the problems that I left still remain
Nothing seemed to change
So I'm right back where I started
No j-o-b to make ends meet
I'm gettin change on the streets
But this ain't how I planned it, I'm trippin
I can feel myself slippin
From the beginnin I been tryin to get a grip, but I can't grab hold
24 years old and I'm out here on my own
Yo, I'm slowly losin my mind
Nobody knows the pain I been holdin up inside
Buildin up insid is enough sh** to hurt ya, it's torture
When your mind tries to desert ya, no one to support ya
For some of y'all life has been a fantasy
And I been livin up in hell, n***a, lookin for my sanity
[ Hook: D-Ruff ]
All I want is my sanity
Although it might seem I'm goin insane
[ VERSE 2: Raydog ]
I wake up every morning, n***a, get up
But this time I grab my nine just in case I gotta tear up
Hard times all around
Still I'm surrounded by the stress but I don't never let it keep me down
Make no mistake, I'll be a dog till I die
I'm always livin on the edge and I wonder why
See, motherf**ers wanna k** me, but that's aight
Cause when I go in, n***as still screamin "RSO"
Until that time I lived my life day for day
Never knowin when another n***a gonna try to (k** Ray)
So now I'm thinkin to myself is it really all worth it
No, better yet, do I deserve this
Way of life I been given, I been livin wrong
All I wanna do is see my son grow strong
So please God, watch over my family
Cause when I die, I wannna die with my sanity
[ Hook: D-Ruff ]
All I want is my sanity
Although it might seem I'm goin insane
[ VERSE 3: E. Devious ]
It's hard to maintain and keep a sane frame of mind
When my life's like a battery low on alkaline
I be feelin like I be in a room
And all four walls be closin in for doom
I try to escape the mental manslaughter
I feel like that dude when Jaws was in a water
I can't seem to redeem all my traction
Too many trife n***as around me to be relaxin
Gotta watch those who I'm 'posed to trust
Don't want to but I'll haunt you if I have to bust
To protect my welfare
You clowns tryin to bring me down'll catch hell here
I won't falter, you can't halt a
Devilish mind when I climb behind the altar
People, stay calm, I'll be real brief
I puff weed from the Philly blunt leaf
And if they torment the E any further
Insanity'll be my plea bargain for murder
Born in hell under a spell called calamity
All I want is my sanity
[ Hook: D-Ruff ]
All I want is my sanity
Although it might seem I'm goin insane
My whole life's been filled with calamity
So how can I ease the painLLL
