[Intro: Cage]

There’s something in the way not for Dr. Zummer

Hocked a tumor in the loogie and left it in Montezuma

Swam back to the US after Russian roulette

No deal on the table, give me a label to suplex

[Verse 1: Cage]

Came to fill them with pain, take a print of my brain

Flash it on the screen, you won’t leave the cinema sane

Had a following Fondling and it wouldn’t let go

‘Til I spiked the EC football into the Def Jux endzone

And when it hit the grass, it covered the crowd with mud

Mom slipped my bare ass out, I covered the ground with blood

Then she wiped it on my face like war paint

Then slapped me, I cry, I’ma die with a hardcore brain

Cracked the door’s frame when I opened the world around it

Exhale the hinges in the air with them ounces

My frontal lobe bounces off the wall, then it rots from

The picture that it painted like suicide with a shotgun

[Hook: Cage]

I’m trying to pick up the pieces, keep cutting

My hands. When I put it back together, it’s feces

In a permanent Hell, I find tranquility teaches

Me how to design perfect masks around these creatures

We’re going too far, nobody could reach us

I’m starting to drown, and I’m covered with leeches

Until my last breath, they’ll be screaming from the bleachers

Then I’ll be dead like all my teachers

[Verse 2: Cage]

Despite all my rage, I’m a rat in a Cage disguise

Communicate your love, injecting bleach in my eyes

The dubiously demented dented to dependant cradles

Slipped through a grasp from the broken glass, highly unstable

I left that label unable to keep my masters

No whip, broke as shit, chick left me a week after

Over-dosage of mushrooms, no ugly obstacles

Did the Handsome Boy record same day I fled the hospital

In the club, I don’t dance, I stand with a glass of vodka

Come to terms, I’m just like my bastard father

Left my mother with a kid that flipped her lid

When I started to look like him, she threw me out the crib

And I was only two, my grandmother was a Hitler Youth

Just dropped Agent Orange, and ain't got no dough to fix this tooth

I’m thinking out loud “I hate life” like that matters

Letting shit out that happened to fit in a rap pattern

[Hook: Cage]

I’m trying to pick up the pieces, keep cutting

My hands. When I put it back together, it’s feces

In a permanent Hell, I find tranquility teaches

Me how to design perfect masks around these creatures

We’re going too far, nobody could reach us

I’m starting to drown, and I’m covered with leeches

Until my last breath, they’ll be screaming from the bleachers

Then I’ll be dead like all my teachers

[Verse 3: Cage]

I’m trying to pick up the pieces, but each motherfucker

That fucked my mother over would leave me to be this

Drug-addicted menace, ain't shit to do in this place

No longer flinching from stepdad’s punches to the face

Blind to the drug, calm to the tub filled to the top

With warm water to sink in two arms full of blood

Not even thirteen, looking to exit left for mesc’

Could care less about life, just keep my Pumas fresh

Until the worms eat my flesh, I guess they better burn me

These are the thoughts of a child I keep ‘til thirty

I lacked patience ‘til I was packed with patients

In the mental facility, force-fed all the wrong medications

Prozac guinea pig, I don’t feel bipolar

But got a folder that claims I am in a stack that reaches my shoulder

Music my only savior in every instance

Makes each one of you a prophet to my existence

[Hook: Cage]

I’m trying to pick up the pieces, keep cutting

My hands. When I put it back together, it’s feces

In a permanent Hell, I find tranquility teaches

Me how to design perfect masks around these creatures

We’re going too far, nobody could reach us

I’m starting to drown, and I’m covered with leeches

Until my last breath, they’ll be screaming from the bleachers

Then I’ll be dead like all my teachers
