[00:39.52] Prayin to Satan - think I'm crazy cause I smoke crack

[01:03.38] I'm black, a fag, and my dad's Liberace
[01:05.76] No matter how bad the beatin, I went to school cheatin
[01:08.44] My dad whooped my ass at a PTA meetin
[01:11.28] Stick with school I had to have nuts just to do it
[01:13.43] Got bored and became truant
[01:15.29] When I had the gall to go I just couldn't do it
[01:17.97] I was lured into corners by the peer pressure shit
[01:20.53] How would you feel if you was held by the tip of a barrel
[01:23.29] Gettin threatened to get your skin ripped to bone marrow
[01:26.13] Bet suburban kids never got rushed for their apparel
[01:28.85] like me, outcast, last in class
[01:31.12] First to leave, when the teacher called on me
[01:33.94] Best believe I had somethin up my sleeve
[01:36.29] I've been praised and labelled as crazed
[01:38.28] My mother was unable to raise me, full of crazy rage
[01:41.24] An angry teenager, nothin can change me back
[01:43.85] Gangsta rap made me act like a maniac
[01:46.41] I was boostin, so influenced by music I used it
[01:49.17] as an excuse to do shit, ooh I was stupid
[01:51.89] No one can tell me nothin hip-hop overwhelmed me
[01:54.36] to the point where it had me in a whole 'nother realm
[01:56.84] It was like isolatin myself was healthy
[01:59.11] It felt like we was on welfare but wealthy
[02:01.66] Compelled me to excel when school it failed me
[02:04.50] Expelled me and when the principal would tell me
[02:07.02] I was nothin, and I wouldn't amount to shit
[02:09.37] I made my first million and counted it
[02:11.89] Now look at, a fuckin drop-out that quits
[02:14.37] Stupid as shit, rich as fuck, and proud of it
[02:17.08] That's why
[02:17.40] I don't wanna go to school.. I don't need no education
[02:22.51] I don't wanna be like you.. I don't wanna save the nation
[02:27.42] I just wanna live my life.. everyday a celebration
[02:32.91] One day I'ma leave this world.. I'm waitin for the revelation
[02:37.58] I was raised with a rifle and mask
[02:39.68] Steadily beatin my psychiatrist ass just for askin about my past
[02:42.73] (bitch) I was never on that punk shit; fuckin around

[02:53.16] Far as probation, fuck peein in cups
[02:55.51] I violate at any time, let 'em see the blunt
[02:57.99] I grew up steadily masturbatin inside of cells
[03:00.38] Young as hell, havin conversations with myself
[03:03.02] You could tell I wasn't lenient, a disobedient
[03:05.53] Lynched and slapped teachers, bitch I'm not readin it
[03:08.45] You don't know what dawgs go through, a little nigga
[03:10.96] Sippin liquor with my old dude, what the fuck you gon' do?
[03:13.64] I'm quick to curse you, I told my mother that I'ma hurt you
[03:16.76] if you ever again mention a curfew
[03:18.11] Look, my family ignored me and I don't like that
[03:20.91] They don't even listen when I tell them I'll be right back
[03:23.55] (Yeah whatever) This nice beautiful house ma, it don't mean shit
[03:26.02] Cause you know daddy's a drunk and he don't clean shit
[03:28.62] And yesterday he hit me like a grown fuckin man
[03:31.10] I couldn't stand up to him, I just ducked and ran
[03:33.89] I'm sick of this, I wish on Christmas
[03:36.33] that I can get a loaded four-fifth and put a fuckin end to this
[03:38.64] (Fuck it) I got no friends and I can't get a bitch
[03:41.60] Only thing I have is dirty magazines and sticky fingertips
[03:44.20] Nothin to smile about, I'm about to lose my mind
[03:47.08] Got me an automatic nine, now I'm ballin out

[04:04.54] Burn out youngsta niggaz now hittin on him
[04:06.94] And his teacher in his english class keep flippin on him
[04:09.41] And now he's grounded with no allowances
[04:11.85] for drinkin forty ounces, cause he was caught by his counselors
[04:15.17] And why the fuck I gotta ride the bench coach?
[04:17.20] Already got expelled for wearin a trenchcoat
[04:19.67] All I ever seen is.. {violence, violence}
[04:22.88] Told me to keep silent, stepped back in my eyelids
[04:25.35] It's apparent that my parents weren't parents at all
[04:27.91] That's why I blew out my brains and murdered you all
[04:30.15] I don't wanna go to school.. I don't need no education
[04:35.27] I don't wanna be like you.. I don't wanna save the nation
[04:40.38] I just wanna live my life.. everyday a celebration
[04:45.49] One day I'ma leave this world.. I'm waitin for the revelation
