[NARRATOR]
Attempting to decide paths between the mind and heart can make you crazy, but those who follow blindly find a normality that is closer to insanity
[VERSE 1 - EUGENIUS NEUTRON]
I can't let these people play me
Name one genius that ain't crazy
Of course you can see the pain in side the painting
But the bigger pictures never fit the framing
How can I say this, I see the devil in a corporate mind
Assembly line of some zombies in a suit and tie
Angels in the eyes of my nephews and my nieces
And even a couple demons in a dashikis
I watched hoteps transform to hopeless
From rushing to know everything that they don't need to know yet
The rabbit hole of knowledge won't get you back to the past
It just have you running late like you Alice in Wonderland
Wondering if they'll ever find the strength that they claim
We want the thrones without the games and all the stress that it bring
Heavy is the head of those called kings and queens
But can you risk losing your mind to find your inner peace cause
[HOOK - NATE SUMMERS]
I know you think I must be crazy (crazy)
Crazy (crazy cause)
If it's unfamiliar to you
Gets you all uncomfortable
I know you think I must be crazy (crazy)
Crazy (crazy but)
Normal seems closer to insane
[VERSE 2 - DEE SKILLZ]
Insanity, what's that? Living in rings like marriage
Where dreams are miscarried
Cause routines lack new things
I'm not always Polaris, I have sparred with the dark
I've had wars in my mind, I've had scars in my heart you know
How much the world could weigh
Fruitless things that human beings might say
Who believe in their own fear, what's their eyes see and what they hear
Until a month feels like a minute, and a year feels like a day
And when there isn't more time left, a lifetime feels like a grave
What they telling? What they selling? Anybody here really know truth?
If you only know what they told you, what you think you gon' tell youth?
There isn't a route that's fail proof, no possession gon' die with you
Everybody ain't gon' fly with you, they'll lie to God, they'll lie to you
Insanity, what's that? An enemy to myself
And trying to heal it with a cure, that's a injury my health
But, how would you know what you had, if you never have no test?
You can find the most strength, when you feel close to death
When you feel close.... to crazy
[HOOK - NATE SUMMERS]
I know you think I must be crazy (crazy)
Crazy (crazy cause)
If it's unfamiliar to you
Gets you all uncomfortable
I know you think I must be crazy (crazy)
Crazy (crazy but)
Normal seems closer to insane
[VERSE 3 - EUGENIUS NEUTRON]
I decompress my depression, Lord knows I be stressing
Tryna save the world through my messiah complexion
Still checking for positives in a negative moment
Either I'm super focused or I'm super bipolar
They say proper preparation prevent a poor performance
Probably part of the prime reason I got paranoia
Trap myself in the studio 'til I go claustrophobic
Doing all the this recording, but still I'm antisocial
Am I autistic or artistically to advance?
Do this over and over 'til I develop Tourette's
No prescription they can give you when you addicted rap
Workaholics anonymous, relapsing 'til I collapse
I energize off a nap, I know I'm insomniac
But still I take my chances like a kleptomaniac
Whenever I take a snoozing, my dreams be way too lucid
Thaink my mental's be zooming in my rapid eye movements
Tryna cure my anxiety, killing off my sobriety
Pouring poison inside of me, I don't even get high with weed
Really go schizophrenic, developing sixth senses
Really see dead people, & Casper just ain't as friendly
Won't even give him a minute, my time is ticking, don't hold me up
Word to Andre Benji living chronometrophobia
I'm O.D.B. with O.C.D. & PTSD maybe
And A.D.D. for my haters, I know they label me crazy, damn
[NARRATOR]
This is the feeling of our youth. They are relentlessly trying to find themselves in an atmosphere without encouragement, leadership, and motivation. All though they grow up fast, the path to manhood is a slow and dark place for most of them. By the time they truly understand what it means to be a man, it may be too late. If only someone had taken to time to speak life into their young souls, we may have seen a different trajectory for this generation
