Sanity Lyrics by Body Count

2000

[Verse 1]
Straight up, I think my head's about to explode
Get down, because the gat's about to unload
This ain't no game, baby, I'm stressed out, no doubt
One word out your mouth and get your damn life put out
Take heed 'cause I'm a deathly, bring the drama
Next sucka who step in my face is gonna
Feel the pain from a brain insane in the head
Let your dome scatter as I pour the grey matter

I've had enough of this bull
It's time for me to bring back to ya, launch the steel through ya
My mind's overpowered by hate, I can't understand the plan of the man so I break
Look into my eyes, it's like a bottomless pit
Look into my face, I'm looking psychopathic
I'm trying to get a grip, it's useless
Everybody better clear the room if I flip

[Hook]
Every day I gotta try to keep a hold of my mind
Everybody in this world is trying to rob me blind
(Maintain my sanity, maintain my sanity)
Insanity's real and I'm living proof
I'm messed up, I feel like busting off the roof
(Maintain my sanity, maintain my sanity)
I hate my girl, she ran with my friend
Ran though my bank account, cracked my PIN
(Maintain my sanity, maintain my sanity)
Everybody's always telling me what they want
I'm gonna kill somebody for sure if I don't
(Maintain my sanity, maintain my sanity)

[Verse 2]
I'm off the hook, you're looking at me like you're shook
You scared of combat? Where the guns and the bombs at?
Maybe it's the love I've missed all my life
Maybe it's the stress I get from my wife
The ways of the city got me ready to ride
The city got me twisted and I'm ready to die
I just lost my only job, how can you tell me to fail?
I'm going crazy, and you expect me to care about you?

You wanna play with me, come on, what
You're playing with your life, baby
You wanna play with me, come on, what
You're playing with your life, baby
You wanna play with me, come on, what
You're playing with your life, baby
You wanna play with me, come on, what
You're playing with your life, baby

You wanna feel me, come on, what
You're playing with your life baby
You wanna feel me, come on, what
You're playing with your life baby
You wanna feel me, come on, what
You're playing with your life baby
You wanna feel me, come on, what
You're playing with your life baby

[Hook]
Every day I gotta try to keep a hold of my mind
Everybody in this world is trying to rob me blind
(Maintain my sanity, maintain my sanity)
Insanity's real and I'm living proof
I'm messed up, I feel like busting off the roof
(Maintain my sanity, maintain my sanity)
I hate my girl, she ran with my friend
Ran though my bank account, cracked my PIN
(Maintain my sanity, maintain my sanity)
Everybody always telling me what they want
I'm gonna kill somebody for sure if I don't
(Maintain my sanity, maintain my sanity)

[Outro]
(Brain's banging, man
Uh, uh, no no
Uh, uh, no no)
I'm, losing, my, total, sanity
I'm, losing, my, total, sanity
I'm, losing, my, total, sanity
I'm, losing, my, total, sanity
