[ 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 shit 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, nigga, lookin for my sanity
[ CHORUS: D-Ruff ]
All I want is my sanity
Although it might seem I`m goin insane
[ VERSE 2: Raydog ]
I wake up every morning, nigga, 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, motherfuckers wanna kill me, but that`s aight
Cause when I go in, niggaz still screamin RSO
Until that time I lived my life day for day
Never knowin when another nigga gonna try to (kill 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
[ CHORUS: 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 niggaz 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
[ CHORUS: 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 pain
